Cranleigh, Surrey
We inserted this Arched Brace Truss into this unlisted 2 bay late ‘smoke bay’ cottage to stabilise the wall plates, as the tie beams had been removed to allow for access on the first floor. The arched brace truss does not have a tie beam therefore giving much better access.
Almost all of the timbers in this building are Elm.
Bellow you can see the extensive repair work and a detailed 3D model of the trusses to allow us to safely and completely analyse the existing structure.
