King Post Truss 2

The document describes the king post truss, a type of roof truss that uses a central vertical post called the king post to help support the tie beam. The king post sits on splayed feet and connects to the tie beam with a tenon joint. It also connects to diagonal struts with oblique mortise and tenon joints and to principal rafters with housed or cogged joints to transfer the load from the roof to the supporting walls.
