Steel Trusses

Steel Trusses

Engineered steel roof trusses from Buffalo River Truss — more headroom, longer clear spans and faster installs than wood.

Up to 100′ clear span 8–12′ O.C. truss spacing 50-year warranty

Steel trusses are engineered to deliver superior strength, accuracy and long-term performance. They allow for wider clear spans, reduced maintenance and consistent structural integrity compared to traditional materials. Steel trusses are ideal for agricultural, commercial and industrial buildings where durability, load capacity and design flexibility are essential.

Why Steel Trusses

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

More headroom & storage

Fewer trusses and an open web free up valuable overhead space for storage and equipment.

Faster to install

Steel truss systems typically go up faster than stick-built wood trusses — saving labor and time.

The strength of steel

Engineer-approved, AWS-certified welded steel delivers long clear spans and lasting structural integrity.

Open, airy interiors

Steel's strength allows wide, column-free spans for a clean, open look in barns, riding arenas and shops.

We have a huge build going on for a year and we set up an account for our builder to use at PAC. PAC has been very fair with their prices and competitive with with the large box stores. It is nice that for every purchase we get a statement emailed to us. We appreciate all that you have provided to make our build a success. We will continue to call upon you in the future for all our building needs.

PAC has helped me out so much over the years, from hardware to lumber, and everything in between. They are always there to assist you in a very friendly way.

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!!

These guys are rockstars. Cheaper and better than Home Depot or Lowe’s with faster delivery and friendly service. They also built me a very nice detached garage.
