A queen post roof truss is similar to a king post truss, except where a king post truss, has one central vertical member, a queen post truss has two vertical props spaced midway between the eaves and the ridge.

Our queen post truss design includes carrying out a detailed structural analysis of the truss. Our structural design also includes preparing the calculations for the joint connections.

We need the following information to design a queen post truss:

a layout of the part of the building with the truss

the approximate slope of the roof

the type of roof covering

the approximate location of the building

Design information

All design work is carried out in accordance with BS5268 (The structural use of timber).

The calculations provided will be suitable for Building Regulation approval.
