A fan truss is a type of roof truss that is characterized by its fan-shaped web members. The web members radiate from the top and bottom chords, and they are connected by vertical members. Fan trusses are typically used for spans that are too long for other types of trusses, such as kingpost and queenpost trusses. They are also more efficient than other types of trusses, as they require less material to support the same amount of weight.
The Fan Truss is configurable in a range of sizes with typical spans between 33’-49’ (10-15 m) and overall heights of 5’6”-24’6” (1.68-7.47 m). The thickness of wood trusses is commonly 1.5”, 3”, or 4.5” (3.8, 7.6, 11.4 cm). Trusses have a pitch ratio typically between 1:1 to 1:6.
