Another alternative is to utilize a combination of straight and arched solid timbers. Again, the number of possible configurations is almost unlimited and makes for very unique and beautiful trusses. While trusses utilizing curve members are attractive, the geometry of the members and connections frequently does not support loads effectively. This style of truss is typically used for Decorative applications.
SWC is capable of cutting and joining arched members of almost any thickness. However, arch radius, finished member width and length is limited by the width of standard material available. Because these trusses involve use of wider material stock and involve more labor for layout, cutting and assembly, they are priced accordingly.
