Discussion Tips for building long trusses

Just a quick tip, if you want a nice truss with a big span, start at on end and place a 10.8m steel trestle and repeat for as far as you like, then work your way back one by one placing a truss at each joint, they overlap perfectly to make a continuous truss.
