Alpine truss designs are engineered to meet specific span configuration and load conditions.
Allowable attic space in 40 foot span truss.
For example if a truss has a span of 26 then the bottom chord can be built with two boards 16 and 10 which allows for no scrap and waste and is the most efficient for price savings.
The span in short is the length of the bottom of the truss.
For example in the rafter span table below the highlighted cell in the 40 live load table indicates that 2 x 8 southern yellow pine joists that have a grade of 2 that are spaced 24 apart can have a maximum span of 10 feet 3 inches 10 3 if designing for a live load of 40 lbs ft 2.
Trusses are professionally designed with state of the art computer programs.

The lumber components are precision cut and assembled together with galvanized steel truss plates in a factory controlled environment.

Residential trusses save time and materials compared to conventional hand framing.
Each truss bears the truss plate institute tpi stamp for quality assurance.
Custom trusses up to 100 span.
Up to 40 open framing for plumbing.
Some spans have a lower rate per foot than others.
The shapes and spans shown here represent only a fraction of the millions of designs produced by alpine engineers.
