  1. Factors That Influence Floor Truss Specifications rangertruss.com

  2. 1. Building Design and Layout The first thing that affects floor truss specifications is your building’s design and layout. Every structure has its own blueprint — the size, shape, and purpose of the space determine how the trusses are designed. rangertruss.com

  3. 2. Load Requirements Think of load requirements as the “weight limit” your floor trusses must support. There are two main types of loads that engineers consider: Dead Loads: These are permanent, non-movable weights like flooring, insulation, or the trusses themselves. Live Loads: These include temporary or movable weights such as people, furniture, and appliances. rangertruss.com

  4. 3. Material Selection Not all wood trusses are the same, and the type of wood material used plays a major role in determining your floor truss specifications. rangertruss.com

  5. 4. Span and Spacing Next up — span and spacing, which are like the “geometry” of your floor trusses. The span is the distance between two supports — for example, from one wall to another. Spacing refers to how far apart each truss is placed. rangertruss.com

  6. 5. Local Building Codes and Standards Every region has its own building codes and structural regulations — and these rules directly influence truss specifications. rangertruss.com

  7. When it comes to floor truss design, precision and quality are everything. That’s exactly what sets Ranger Truss of Texas apart. rangertruss.com
