Standard Flat Trusses

Standard Flat Trusses

Engineered wood roof trusses with a pitched roof over a flat, level ceiling — the everyday workhorse, built to your span.

Flat (level) bottom chord profile Kiln-dried Southern Yellow Pine lumber 48″, 24″ & 16″ O.C. spacing

Standard flat trusses are engineered to support flat or minimal-slope roof designs while maintaining consistent load distribution. They are commonly used in post-frame buildings where ceiling height and simplicity are priorities. These trusses offer straightforward installation, reliable performance and compatibility with a wide range of building types and layouts.

Why Standard Flat Trusses

Built to perform — here's what sets it apart.

Open, column-free spans

Carries roof and ceiling loads so you can skip interior bearing walls and keep floor plans open.

Clean, flush ceilings

A level bottom chord gives a flat ceiling that’s simple to insulate, wire and finish.

Fast, consistent framing

Factory-built to exact spec — every truss is identical, so framing goes up quickly and predictably.

Engineered for your loads

Galvanized steel connector plates, engineered to meet the snow and wind loads for your area.

I can’t say enough good things about them. I wanted a hobby shop on a piece of property I bought. I called PAC and the rest was easy. They had great advice and very fair pricing. I live out of state and put my complete trust in the crew. They not only met my expectations but surpassed them. I can’t say enough good things about them. Would highly recommend them.

I am enjoying that we don't have to run to Dickson to Lowe's! Pac has provided all our needs so far without having to leave Waverly as it should be! There prices on lumber are very compatible with Lowe's, in fact they beat them on some lumber and it's a better quality! They also deliver!!
