Radius Trusses Present Unique Challenges in Design, Manufacturing

  • A massive custom home in the Florida panhandle called for long-span radius trusses that were designed and built by Builders FirstSource. 
  • The job was especially challenging because the 68-foot trusses were curved on both the bottom and top chords. 
  • The BFS team took special precautions when building the trusses to prevent workers’ injuries and damage to the trusses.
