A bow barrel truss is a type of truss that has a curved top and bottom chord. The depth of the truss is equal at all points, and the chords are connected by a series of diagonal web members. Bow barrel trusses are often used in large buildings with open spans, such as warehouses and factories. They are also used in some bridges and other structures.
The Bow Barrel Truss is configurable in a range of sizes with typical spans between 24’-72’ (7.3-21.9 m) and overall heights of 6’5”-19’3” (1.95-5.87 m). The truss depth of the Bow Barrel Truss is between 24”-87” (61-220 cm) with common wood truss thicknesses of 1.5”, 3”, or 4.5” (3.8, 7.6, 11.4 cm). The Bow Barrel has a pitch ratio typically of 1:3.
