The 1.5″ Square Tube Lean-To Truss from Blackwater Truss Systems delivers the perfect balance of strength, efficiency, and clean design for single-slope roofing applications. Built from high-quality square steel tubing, these trusses are designed to provide reliable structural performance while maintaining a sleek, modern appearance ideal for both residential and commercial projects.
*Please note: This truss type is meant to be used as an addition to a new or existing structure ONLY. This truss is NOT meant to be used as a standalone structure.*
This truss features overhang on the low side of the truss ONLY. There is no overhang on the high side.
Built for Strength and Simplicity
Square tube lean-to trusses offer superior rigidity and durability compared to traditional angle iron, while maintaining a streamlined profile. The single-slope (lean-to) design allows for efficient water runoff and straightforward installation, making it a practical solution for a wide range of structures.
Each truss is prefabricated in our facility to ensure accuracy, consistency, and ease of installation. This reduces labor time on-site and eliminates the inconsistencies often associated with wood framing.
Lean-to trusses can be spaced according to engineering requirements and local building codes, providing flexibility while maintaining structural integrity.
