Chord / Triangle Truss
3
Chord truss is the most cost effective truss when strength,
size, and long spans are needed. The extra strength gained
by the 3 chord truss makes for horizontal and vertical
stability that is critical on longer spans of truss.
Great for all situations structural or cosmetic. The
360 degree visibility of 3 chord / tri truss adds dimension
and strength to any exhibit or display. This truss can
be used in 4 different orientations. Apex up, apex down,
apex in and apex out. All of these orientations create
an exciting visual and allow for some amazing designs.
We highly recommend going to 3 chord truss if the budget
allows for it as it will serve you well for many years
and the expansion possibilities are endless due to the
added strength having less limitations as far as long
spans are concerned. A great cost effective choice for
your next project with room to expand on other projects
in the future. Simply add more truss to create countless
variations of truss structures and display components.
It's a giant Meccano set !
