Log and timber home roof systems by Town & Country White Cedar Products

 SCRIBED TRUSSES
Description: hand scribed white spruce log truss system
Finished Size: Structural white spruce trusses will be sized per individual engineered specs. Decorative trusses are by design.

All of our structural log trusses are engineered and graded to meet local building codes. Current BOCA building codes require that all structural trusses are made from graded logs.

Our log trusses will be the focal point of your log cabin home. They are hand-scribed by a staff of professionals that have decades of experience, and engineered by our in-house engineer to insure their structural integrity. Your white cedar trusses are too important to leave in the hands of inexperienced or small producers.

Give us your room size and snow load requirements, and we will provide the engineered scribe log trusses and purlins to make your log cabin home or commercial structure a work of art. Each component is marked to show your builder how to reassemble the log trusses to get the fit and finish you want.

To provide the quality and sizes needed to fulfill our customers expectations and to age our timbers, we have to maintain a large supply of spruce logs. Each log is inspected in the woods to make sure it meets our strict quality and engineering requirements. Then they are brought into our yard to rough peel and dry for 6 to 12 months. This is an expensive process, but one that has to be done to give our customers quality roof materials. You should expect nothing less from your log cabin home component supplier.

 

 

 

 

 
After the logs have aged and naturally checked in the drying process, each log is again inspected to make sure it will meet BOCA building codes. Then they are brought into the production building for scribing and assembly by our experienced craftsmen. It will take approximately 40 to 50 hours to produce one white cedar truss. It takes time to get the perfect fit we demand of ourselves.

 

 

To achieve the natural log home look without jeopardizing our truss' engineering load requirements, we bury as much of the connecting steel as possible. Most of our customers do not want steel exposed on the face of their log / timber trusses, so we keep the bolts and steel hidden from view.




Now comes the finish touch up peeling process. When our log or timber trusses leave the yard, they are wrapped and ready for installation and staining.
