A mansard truss is a type of roof truss that is used to support a mansard roof. Mansard roofs are typically four-sided roofs with a steeply sloping lower section and a shallower sloping upper section. Mansard trusses are made up of a series of triangular frames that are connected together at the top and bottom. The trusses are designed to support the weight of the roof and to distribute the load evenly across the structure. Mansard trusses are often used in residential and commercial buildings.
The Mansard Truss is configurable in a range of sizes with typical spans between 30’-60’ (9.1-18.3 m) and overall heights of 5’-10’ (1.52-3.05 m). The thickness of wood trusses is commonly 1.5”, 3”, or 4.5” (3.8, 7.6, 11.4 cm).
