Engineered raised tie truss utilising hydraulically press plated treated timber with trusses set at centers in accordance with building regulations and structural engineer s calculation.
Raised collar roof design.
In collar tie roof the horizontal tie is raised up from the feet of the rafters to the almost middle of the rafters.
This usually has a smaller king post and braces above the collar for increased strength.
Some of these can support the roof and prevent ridge sagging and wall spreading.
We can apply our expertise to omit steel beams where possible from plans which previously specified their use.
Collar ties should not be fixed more than one third or one half of the rise of the roof up from the wall plate.
This raised up horizontal tie is known as the collar tie.
By doing this we can produce working trusses with higher collar heights and larger spans.
