King Post Truss Design

King Post Truss Design

The most common decorative roof truss used with a vaulted ceiling is a king post truss. The king post truss features a single vertical member named the king post which supports the ridge and two struts that in turn support the purlins. The formation of the king post and the two struts can often be altered to suit decorative designs.
