Small Cabin Forum / Cabin Construction / Gambrel truss with no bottom chord?

Author	Message
low277 Member	# Posted: 19 Jan 2017 11:59am Reply  Is it possible to buy a gambrel truss with no bottom cord. It would be used as a cathedral ceiling over part of a cabin, and a sleeping loft could be in the other part of the cabin.
