Description
Description

A double fan truss is a type of roof truss that is characterized by its two sets of diagonal members that fan out from the top and bottom chords. The diagonal members are arranged in a triangular pattern, which helps to distribute the weight of the roof evenly across the truss. Double fan trusses are often used in commercial and industrial buildings, as they are strong and can support large spans.
