Our design & manufacturing process for exposed trusses will create a strong visual impact on your next residential or commercial project. With the use of various timber species and connection styles we will help create the visual appearance required for any build style. Whether a one off stand alone truss is required or 30+ trusses, no job is too big or small for our team.
The Truss Joint staff have over 80 years combined roof truss design & manufacturing experience, resulting in precise technical advice. In general we work closely with you the client, or your engineer/architect. Coupled with our knowledge & expertise, The Truss Joint will help create the visual impact all exposed roof trusses demand.
Often used as part of ‘cathedral ceiling’ systems, timber can be specified to suit the chosen theme and style. On finish, feature exposed roof trusses can be left natural or may be oiled, stained, painted or highly decorated.

Design Options-
We are not limited to one timber type or joint connection style. Our flexibility and experience allows us to design using various timbers & joint connections. i.e: steel plate and bolted, hidden screw or pegged mortise & tenon. All of our exposed trusses can be fully certified and engineered to achieve all building permit requirements. Upon manufacturing completion, we can supply your new trusses finished raw (no coatings), finished undercoated ready for paint or oiled. We have vast expertise working with all wood types. i.e: reclaimed hardwoods, Glulaminated timbers and D.A.R soft & hardwoods. What ever your imagination desires, we strive in supplying fully custom designed exposed trusses for all applications.
The Truss Joints in house design processes use the latest in CAD software and machinery. Furthermore our manufacturing processes ensure all components are cut to precision on either our 5Axis CNC Essetre machine or hand crafted to the highest level. Above all our business supports and uses sustainable timber resources. Both design and manufacturing processes at the The Truss Joint utilise local Australian trades/suppliers.
