Blackwater Truss Systems

The Original Square Tube Steel Truss Manufacturer

---

Our Mission

At Blackwater Truss Systems, we believe every structure deserves strength, precision, and durability. Our mission is to design and manufacture steel truss systems that raise the bar for performance, aesthetics, and reliability. We are proud to have pioneered the use of square tube steel in truss fabrication — a breakthrough that has redefined the industry.

 

Who We Are

Blackwater Truss Systems is the original manufacturer of square tube steel trusses. Before we entered the market, the industry relied almost exclusively on angle iron. We saw the limitations in that approach and introduced a stronger, more durable, and more versatile solution with square tube steel.

Since then, others have followed our lead, but our experience, innovation, and commitment to excellence ensure that our trusses remain the benchmark for quality. From gable to lean-to and specialty configurations, we continue to engineer products that builders trust to stand the test of time.

 

Our Products

• Square Tube Steel Trusses — Our flagship innovation, engineered to outperform angle iron in strength, torsional resistance, and load distribution.
• Angle Iron Trusses — Fabricated with the same precision and quality, for projects that call for traditional materials.
• Specialty Trusses — Lean-to, header, snoot, and Mighty Mite configurations tailored for unique spans and structural requirements.
• Hardware & Accessories — The brackets and connection components needed for seamless installation.

 

What Sets Us Apart

Industry Leadership

We didn’t just improve trusses — we changed the industry. By introducing square tube steel, we set a new standard for strength, durability, and design.

Structural Excellence

Square tube trusses offer superior strength-to-weight ratios, consistent geometry, and greater resistance to bending, buckling, and warping. Our patented brackets and precise welds ensure unmatched reliability.

Design & Aesthetic Versatility

Our trusses are both functional and visually refined. The enclosed tubular shape delivers clean lines and allows for better integration of wiring and finishes.

Longevity & Reliability

Engineered to withstand snow, wind, and time, our trusses deliver lasting performance with minimal maintenance.

Customer Commitment

We’re more than fabricators — we’re partners. From selection to delivery, we guide and support builders with expertise and service they can count on.

 

Our Values

At Blackwater Truss Systems, our values are woven into every truss we create. From the very beginning, we’ve led the way — pioneering the square tube design that reshaped an entire industry. That spirit of leadership continues to guide us as we set new standards for strength and innovation. We hold ourselves to the highest level of integrity, standing firmly behind our work and honoring every commitment we make to our customers.

Precision is central to our craft. Each cut, weld, and design detail is approached with care, ensuring consistency and reliability in every piece we deliver. Just as important is the service we provide. We don’t see ourselves as simply fabricators — we are partners who listen, support, and walk alongside builders and contractors through every stage of their project.

Durability ties it all together. Our trusses are engineered not only to meet the demands of today, but to endure for decades to come. Stronger, safer, and longer-lasting — that’s the promise at the heart of our values, and it’s what drives us forward.
