ABSTRACT:
A load bearing truss includes generally parallel first and second chords and a plurality of V-shaped metal webs interconnecting the first and second chords. Respective portions of the first and second chords extend beyond the webs at each end of the truss. A first end connector interconnects the extension portions of the first and second chords at one end of the truss to define a first end section and a second end connector interconnects the extension portions of the first and second chords at an opposite end of the truss to define a second end section. For added reinforcement, the first end connector extends at least as far inwardly as the respective apex portions of the outermost webs which are proximate to the first end section and the second end connector extends at least as far inwardly as the respective apex portions of the outermost webs which are proximate to the second end section. The truss is lengthwise adjustable by trimming a selected one or both of the first and second end sections.
