Pressure Treated Trusses
At Fort Dallas Truss Co, LLC we can also do pressure treated trusses. The advantages of pressure treated trusses are excellent protection against decay, fungus and termites. The two different types (most commonly used for trusses) of pressure treated lumber is A.C.Q. and Borate Protected Lumber.
Special Plates
In combination with pressure treated lumber special plates must be used. The most common plates with pressure treated lumber that we use are Mitek G185 which are specially made for pressure treated trusses. We can also use stainless steel plates also made by Mitek for special applications such as pressure treated trusses or exposed trusses. These are highly corrosive resistant.
