TIMBER TRUSSES

Timber roof trusses are engineered structural frameworks made from high-quality, treated timber. These prefabricated units are designed to support the roof of a building while distributing loads efficiently across walls or columns. Timber trusses are a popular choice in both residential and commercial construction due to their strength, design versatility, and cost-effectiveness.

At Dezzo Roofing, we specialise in the manufacture and supply of timber trusses, also commonly referred to as timber roofing systems, tailored to suit your project requirements.

Asked Question

Frequently Asked Questions

Welcome, Here, you can find answers to some of the most common questions we receive about our roofing services. If you have a question that is not answered here, please feel free to contact us.

Q. How far can a timber frame truss span?

Timber trusses can span up to 20 metres depending on the truss type, timber grade, internal wall supports and engineering design.

Q. What are the disadvantages of timber roof trusses?

Timber can be susceptible to moisture, pests, or fire if not properly treated and maintained. However, Dezzo Roofing uses CCA treated and SABS-approved timber to minimise these risks.

Q. How much do roof trusses cost in South Africa?

Costs vary depending on timber size, span, roof pitch, and design. On average, timber trusses range from R450 to R1500 per square meter, but a custom quote is recommended.

Q. What size timber should I use for roof trusses?

Exact sizing is determined based on structural requirements.

Q. Can I build my own trusses?

Q. What is the minimum slope for a roof truss?

Typically, a minimum slope of 3–45 degrees is used, depending on the roof covering and regional climate.

Q. Which wood is best for roof trusses?

SABS-approved SA pine is commonly used in South Africa due to its strength and availability.

Q. How do you estimate wood trusses?

Truss estimates are based on span, pitch, load-bearing requirements, and spacing. Dezzo Roofing provides full cost and layout estimations.
