Barrup Trusses

[crpntr]

Hi all!
I'm working on an 1880's two storey weather-board with slate roof.
The hip rafters are sagging and I'd like to install barrup trusses to straighten them.
Can anyone tell me if said trusses are still being manufactured commercially?

Ant competent steel-worker should be able to make one up for you.

Barrup Trusses are good for download - but have it checked on upload - but the slate roof should be heavy enough to stop this.
As per Ken-67 = Any steel fabricator could do this.

Thanks Ken-67. My local steel fabricator seemed quite excited when I asked. Said he hadn't had an order for barrup trusses in thirty years but will have four for me in two weeks!

Yeah. It's probably that long or longer since I last used one.
