Timber Trusses for St. Catherine's Church
Westford, Massachusetts

Heavy Timber Roof Trusses for St. Catherine's Addition
For this project, 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
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.

Metal Plate Connected Timber Trusses
Also included in this project are steel connections embedded within the heavy timber. The only exposed steel can be seen as vertical connections within the truss and as a horizontal tie rod below the truss. Metal plate connected timber trusses are frequently part of our division 6130 commercial work for churches & chapels.
