Description

A mono scissor truss is a type of roof truss that is used to create a vaulted ceiling. It is made up of multiple triangles that are joined at the top and bottom. The bottom chord of the truss is angled, which creates the vaulted ceiling. Mono scissor trusses are often used in homes and other buildings with cathedral ceilings. They are also used in some commercial buildings, such as churches and auditoriums.
