A clerestory truss is a type of roof truss that is used to create a clerestory, which is a vertical section of windows that runs along the top of a wall. Clerestory trusses are typically made of wood or steel and are designed to support the weight of the roof and the clerestory windows. They can be used in a variety of building types, including homes, schools, and commercial buildings.
