Dynatruss can save you time and money during installation.

Save money by using the tools you already have.
You do not need special tools to install Dynatruss . Just use the screw guns, clamps, etc. that you already have and use to erect light gauge framing. The Dynatruss 1-1/2" truss section is the same width as a wood 2x4, so it can be installed using many of the existing wood truss hardware clips. And, there is a full line of steel truss hardware for both Dynatruss sections.

Save time and manpower in handling.
The high strength-to-weight ratio of Dynatruss trusses makes them easier to handle and install than wood or other cold-formed steel trusses. Because Dynatruss trusses are light in weight and stable during handling, one man can typically lift and carry a 35 to 40 foot long truss by himself.

Save time - and fingers - working with Dynatruss.
You can grab a Dynatruss truss without cutting your hand - all the edges are rolled!

Unlike some other steel trusses, Dynatruss trusses resist bending (or "butterflying") when lifted on their sides. Stiffer trusses also means less bracing is required.

Why is Dynatruss different?

When it comes to erecting Dynatruss cold-formed steel trusses, how are they different from other wood or steel trusses?

In overall truss geometry and dimensions, Dynatruss trusses are very much like other wood or steel trusses. You will not need any special tools to erect Dynatruss , other than the tools that you already use to erect other light gauge metal framing.

But, the unique, very stable shape of Dynatruss trusses, combined with their high strength-to-weight ratio, make Dynatruss more stable than most other truss systems. This can translate into faster installations with Dynatruss .

There are minor differences in connection methods among all of the proprietary truss systems. Truss-to-truss connections, and some truss-to-plate connections, must be made with proprietary hangers and clips. Refer to the Connections section of this Web site to see pictures of proprietary connections.
