Description

An attic gambrel truss is a type of roof truss that has a double-sloped design. The upper chords are barn-shaped, while the bottom chord is flat. Two posts create a center void space, which can be used for storage or an attic. Attic gambrel trusses are often used in homes and other buildings with large open spaces. They are also a good option for buildings that need to be energy-efficient, as they can provide more insulation than traditional roof designs.
