How to use our design tool

Our easy-to-use tool lets you select the style and shape of your truss, change the roof pitch, section sizes and lengths. The configurator will show you the shape live as you make changes and only allow values that are structurally sound, depending on the length of your tie beam.

The tool offers three basic truss styles for you to adapt.
For more guidance, follow our step-by-step guide below.

Fluted King Post Truss

The same classic shape, but with additional detailing to the central post giving it a fluted, or flaired shape. The braces can be curved and offset, or straight.

Two vertical posts and a collar form a square or rectangular shape inside the triangle. Queen Post trusses can be curved or angled without the collar beam and with curved vertical posts.
