Roof Structuring - Trussed Roof

A trussed roof is built (often away from the building site) as a series of interlocking rafters, joists and jacks. These make a series of A-frames with far better support than cut roofs. The added benefit? They could be installed as one piece when completed. Because these rooftops proved to be very sturdy and relatively easy to create, they soon became the popular choice for common wooden buildings.
