What kind of truss is this?
« on: March 06, 2013, 09:52:33 PM »

I saw this image on the Frost Productions website. It looks like some really interesting truss in that it doesn't use corner blocks, the truss just intersects on the side.



Anyone know anything about it?

Looks like regular 12x12 truss using grapple bars:

Grapple bars, never heard of those. What's the load rating compared to standard corner blocks?

Nevermind, followed your link. 75%. Pretty good.

These are neat and would definitely save time and effort over corner blocks, but from a design/uniformity standpoint you now have to deal with 1' less clearance between segments ie: an 8' high box with a header will now only have 7' of clearance (assuming 12" truss) and I'm not sure this would always be ideal

Put it on top and you have 9'.  Or get corner blocks if you want 8'.  This device isn't limiting - it's another option.
