Folding Trusses…

In part of the The “L” Shaped House we are using folding trusses. The long legs and high pitch of the bonus room trusses make them too large to ship on a truck in one piece.  In the past, a second piggyback truss would have been needed to top off a smaller 'base truss' to form the entire truss profile.  The MiTek truss hinge hardware allows for less lumber to be used and greater jobsite efficiency.

Yet another example of the “Green Thinking” that is integral part of The “L” Shaped House.
