Heavy Timber Scissor Trusses for Catholic Church
Saint Catherine's Church - Westford, MA
 

St. Catherine's Parish was expanding their existing church. The above photo shows the new roof trusses made by Vermont Timber Works, which span just over 37 feet. We matched the original existing timber trusses, shown below, that were already in place over the altar. We worked with Design Partnership Architects, Inc. and commercial contractor G. Greene Construction on the addition of these douglas fir scissor trusses with connecting purlins & rafters. A dark stain was used on the fir to match the original truss color.
