A scissor queen post truss is a type of truss that is made up of eight triangles. The bottom chord of the truss is sloped, and there is one center vertical and six diagonal webs (three on each side). The truss is named after its scissor-like shape, which is created by the diagonal webs. Scissor queen post trusses are often used in roofs and bridges, and they are known for their strength and durability.
The Scissors Queen Post Truss is configurable in a range of sizes with typical spans between 22’-44’ (6.7-13.4 m) and overall heights of 3’8”-22’ (1.12-6.7 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.
