RIGIDPLY WOOD TRUSS FACTS
Truss Design
Every Rigidply Truss Design is developed under the supervision of our in-house Registered Professional Engineers (PE) and includes a truss drawing sealed by a MiTek Enigneer. Our Truss Design Technicians take the time to optimize lumber length, increase lumber grades to minimize lateral bracing requirements, and align panel points and plates across similar trusses to provide the cleanest and most efficient truss designs possible. Rigidply’s qualified and experienced Design Technicians are positioned to provide Metal Plate Connected Wood Truss Designs that meet or exceed industry standards and customer expectations!
EFFICIENT TRUSS DESIGNS = LOWER INSTALLATION COSTS
Truss Quality
Rigidply’s manufacturing experience and quality are unmatched, ensuring that all Rigidply trusses are true, straight, and meet your building’s specifications. Rigidply’s standards are supported by our in-house inspections team and independent, 3rd-party inspections by the SBCA (Structural Building Components Association). With carefully maintained and efficient equipment, knowledgeable personnel, and Rigidply’s lumber-buying power, each customer is guaranteed the highest quality trusses available, at a competitive price.
lumber quality
Rigidply partners with specific Lumber Mills to ensure that our standards for lumber quality are met. Rigidply sets strict guidelines for wane, straightness, and overall quality in each piece of lumber and measures these specifications through our extensive internal evaluation process. Our lumber inventory includes several grades of MSR (Machine Stress Rated) lumber, which allows our Truss Design Technicians to minimize lateral bracing requirements and improve the deflection performance of our truss designs. By storing our lumber under cover, we prioritize protecting the appearance and performance of our lumber and minimize the potential for mold.
Building Codes
Contact your building code office to determine the loading requirements for your project. These loading requirements should include minimum snow loads and wind loads. Rigidply will work closely with each customer to meet or exceed the specifications provided to us.
