I posted a couple of weeks ago that I bought some angle iron pole barn trusses. Someone ask if I would post some pictures and dimensions when I got them. Well I do not have them up yet but I did go pick them up yesterday.
They are made of 2 inch angle iron. (most I have seen are 1.5 inch) The stabilizer bar at the bottom is welded in. (most I have seen are bolt in) They use 5/8 inch threw the post bolts with a 4 inch wide plate that goes against the post. (most I have seen use the angle against the post with 1/2 inch lag screws) The top and bottom cord is 16 inches apart with 1 inch angle iron webs. The plate on the post is 18 inches long. From the peek to the bottom of the cross brace is 36 inches. They exceed my 110 mph wind load and are rated for 15 foot span if you use strong enough purlins.
So with these 24 foot trusses with a 4/12 pitch on a 10 foot post. You would have about 8 foot 8 inchs clearance at the post. (10 feet minus 16 inches to bottom cord) And about 11 foot clearance max in the center of building. (10 feet plus 4 foot rise minus 3 feet down to cross brace) All of these measurements are +/- a inch or so.
The only thing I have seen on other trusses is a place to put a 2x6 brace on the bottom cord. These do not have that bottom cord cup. I guess they are using the brace welded in feature to make up for that. I may add one on the bottom brace so I can X brace these trusses.
I have seen others for $300. These were $185 plus the bolts.
