Pegged Mortise & Tenon Exposed Trusses
NEW JOINT METHOD OFFERED FOR EXPOSED TRUSSES BY THE TRUSS JOINT:
Adding to our list of connection options for exposed trusses is traditional pegged mortise and tenon construction. Designed and manufactured all in house at The Truss Joint, exposed trusses can now be provided without steel plates or bolts.
Utilizing the 5 Axis CNC timber machining capabilities of our Essetre Techno Fast machine; we can design and cut complex traditional timber framing methods with speed and precision. Tolerances are key when designing timber to timber connections to ensure seamless flush joins every time.
Earlier this year we designed and manufactured our first set of traditional P.M.T (pegged mortise & tenon) trusses from Tasmanian Oak Glulam hardwood. Fully constructed in our factory and delivered to site with a seamless installation by the guys at Luke Construction, Geelong Vic. Provided to site with a raw timber finish, Sam put his own finish on them to ensure they tied in with other elements chosen by the clients.

Creating this style of truss eliminates the need for structural steel plate and bolt connections. Visually stunning; P.M.T timber exposed trusses can suit modern and traditional rustic styled homes.
