Truss Styles That Support Strength and Span
The right truss system is the backbone of your metal building’s structural integrity. It determines how your roof is supported, how wide your space can be, and how much weight your structure can bear. At Patriot Metal Buildings, we offer several truss styles to suit different needs, from small personal workshops to wide commercial spaces.
Standard Gable Truss
For buildings 12-24' wide
The Standard Gable Truss is the most widely used style for metal shops, garages, and personal-use buildings. Its classic triangular design offers reliable load distribution, a familiar roofline, and excellent strength for most small to medium structures. This option is budget-friendly, quick to install, and ideal for buildings up to moderate widths.
Triple Span Truss
For buildings 26-30' wide
The Triple Span Truss is designed to support greater building widths without the need for internal support columns. It distributes weight across multiple points, making it a smart solution for larger buildings like agricultural shelters, storage facilities, or workshops where clear interior space is essential. It’s a great balance between strength and open usability.
Commercial Truss
For buildings 31' wide and up
When you need maximum load capacity, clear height, and long-term reliability, the Commercial Truss delivers. Built with reinforced materials and engineering, this truss is designed for large-scale commercial and industrial buildings. It’s ideal for applications where overhead clearance, structural endurance, and customization flexibility are non-negotiable.
