Timber Trusses That Make You Look Up

Timber trusses immediately create a lasting impression. Whether it’s a grand entryway in a custom home or the exposed ceiling of a public building, timber trusses add character, warmth, and structural integrity. The company’s expertise in timber truss design, fabrication, and installation enables them to provide tailored solutions for each project, ensuring that every truss meets technical as well as aesthetic goals.

Design Flexibility for Any Project

One of the defining advantages of American Pole & Timber’s timber trusses is their versatility. With a range of wood species, finishes, and joint connection options, the company’s trusses can be customized to meet the design requirements of any space, whether modern or traditional.

“Our goal is to collaborate closely with architects and engineers to create timber trusses that are not only structurally sound but also visually stunning,” says Eric Lincoln, Sr. VP of Sales at American Pole & Timber. “We offer complete flexibility in design, ensuring that each truss fits seamlessly into the overall architectural vision.”

American Pole & Timber’s timber trusses can be designed to enhance a wide variety of architectural styles, from rustic lodges and timber-frame homes to sleek, contemporary buildings. The company works with customers to develop unique truss designs, offering a range of customizable features, including:

  • Wood Species: Choose from high-quality timber such as Southern Yellow Pine, Douglas Fir, and Western Red Cedar, or opt for reclaimed wood for a more sustainable and rustic look.
  • Joint Connections: Options include traditional bolted plates, hidden fasteners for a cleaner, more modern appearance, or knife blade connections for single plate integration.
  • Finishes: Customize the appearance of the trusses with finishes like hand-hewn, distressed, planed, or smooth-sanded surfaces, ensuring the final product aligns with the desired aesthetic.


Collaborative Process from Concept to Completion

At the heart of American Pole & Timber’s timber truss production is a collaborative design process that involves close communication with architects and engineers at every step. The company’s Project Consultants work directly with design professionals to ensure that each timber truss meets the project’s specifications for both structure and style.

  • Design Assistance: The team at American Pole & Timber can provide design guidance, whether starting from scratch or refining an existing concept. From preliminary sketches to detailed blueprints, they assist with every phase of the design.
  • Engineer-Stamped Drawings: For projects that require engineering approval, American Pole & Timber provides engineer-stamped drawings that meet the structural requirements of any state or municipality. This ensures that the timber trusses are both code-compliant and capable of handling the necessary loads.
  • Custom Solutions for Complex Projects: The company’s flexibility extends to complex, large-scale projects. For example, American Pole & Timber has designed custom trusses for stadiums, banks, visitor centers, and schools, providing tailored solutions for unique architectural needs.


“Timber trusses have the ability to elevate a building’s aesthetic while also playing a key structural role,” says Lincoln. “That’s why our team is dedicated to working alongside architects and engineers, ensuring that the trusses not only meet safety and durability standards but also enhance the overall design. We want the project owners we work with to have the pleasure of seeing their clients or guests look up when they enter the building.”
