Shop-fabricated wood trusses are manufactured engineered products in which the chords and webs are made from wood and connected with metal connectors. The simplest form of truss has a horizontal bottom chord and top chords that form the shape of a triangle which offers support and stability for a roof and roof loads. More complex truss shapes have angled bottom chords and mutli-angled top chords.
