1.5″ Square Tube Lean-To Truss — Blackwater Truss Systems
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.

Customization Options
Like all tube trusses, lean-to trusses can be customized to meet your project’s exact requirements. Our team can engineer trusses for different pitches, spans, and load conditions.

If your project requires something outside of our standard specifications, we can provide a custom-engineered solution.
