TRUSSED RAFTERS

Precision-Engineered Roof Structures, Built to Last

At Merronbrook Ltd, we specialise in the design and manufacture of bespoke trussed rafter systems tailored to suit all types of construction—from single homes and extensions to large-scale residential and commercial developments. Every truss is precision-engineered for strength, speed of installation, and long-term structural reliability, helping to streamline your build and reduce costs on site. With decades of experience and advanced in-house capabilities, we deliver solutions that perform as well in practice as they do on paper.

What Is a Trussed Rafter?

A trussed rafter, or roof truss, is a prefabricated structural framework used to support pitched roofs. Introduced in the UK in the 1960s, trusses have become the go-to solution for forming durable, economical roof structures over long spans—with fewer materials and faster build times than traditional methods.

Trussed rafters are suitable for a wide variety of building types and offer complete design flexibility.

Tailored Roof Types & Truss Designs

We manufacture roof trusses using high-grade TR26 timber and precision-fixed Wolf connector plates, all built on quality-controlled jigs. Using modern software and CNC technology, we can design trusses to suit virtually any roof shape.

Common Truss Types We Supply

  • Fink Trusses – Ideal for standard gable-to-gable roofs
  • Hip Trusses – Used for hip end roofs, sloped on all sides
  • Mono Trusses – Perfect for single-slope or lean-to roofs
  • Raised Tie Trusses – To elevate internal ceiling height
  • Scissor Trusses – For vaulted ceilings and open central spaces
  • Attic Trusses Designed to create usable ‘room-in-the-roof’ space

From simple gables to complex hip ends and barn-style roofs, we design full truss systems using combinations of girder trusses, mono trusses, and loose infill timbers for quick and efficient assembly on site.
