Prefabricated steel trusses 2

[purpledragon]

I'm interested in names of prefabricated truss manufacturers that have trusses that can span 96' for a horse arena. There will be some architectural design to the trusses.

If you have dealt with any suppliers in this area I'd appreciate any manufacturer referrals and if they worked well with the architectural design.

Vulcraft and other joist suppliers certainly could provide joists that can easily span 96 foot. I have specified joists up to a 190 foot span and am currently working on a 140 foot span with 72" DLH and an 126" deep joist girder.

All joist manufacturers are limited in what they may be able to provide architecturally. The savings of joists over custom designed trusses is substantial.

I suggest you call Vulcraft and discuss their capability.

If you are looking for architecturally exposed steel trusses, check with your local steel fabricators. Anything that is pre-fabricated (as stated above) will be limitted in what can be done architecturally or will have such an added expense that locally fabricated trusses may be able to compete.
