2" Square Tube Gable Truss — Blackwater Truss Systems
The 2" Square Tube Gable Truss from Blackwater Truss Systems is engineered for superior strength and long-span performance. Fabricated entirely from 2" square steel tubing, this truss is ideal for projects that require larger clear spans, increased load capacity, or enhanced structural rigidity. With its clean lines and durable construction, the 2" square tube truss delivers both performance and professional aesthetics.
Built for Heavy-Duty Applications
Our 2" square tube trusses are designed for projects where strength, durability, and span are top priorities. The 2" tubing provides greater load-bearing capacity and stiffness compared to smaller tube sizes, making these trusses ideal for larger buildings, commercial use, or areas with higher snow or wind loads.
Each truss is fully welded and prefabricated in our facility to precise engineering standards. This ensures consistent quality, reduces on-site labor, and allows for quick installation. Trusses can typically be spaced 8 to 12 feet apart, depending on design and local code requirements, minimizing the total number of trusses needed without compromising strength.
Standard Design Features
- Material: 2" square steel tubing throughout the truss structure for maximum strength and rigidity.
- Pitch: Standard 4/12 roof pitch (custom pitches available).
- Spans: Available in standard and custom widths, including long-span applications up to 100 feet clear span without interior posts.
- Coating: Supplied with a durable primer coating for corrosion protection and easy finishing.
- Inside Measurement (ISM): ISM is 11 inches less than the nominal span (e.g., a 40’ truss has an ISM of 39’1”). This ensures the truss fits between posts for a clean, secure connection.
Customization Options
The 2" Square Tube Gable Truss can be fully customized to fit your project. Our engineers can adapt:
- Roof pitch and overhangs
- Custom inside measurements for unique post layouts
- Span length and truss configuration
- Tube wall thickness or alternative rectangular tubing if required by engineering
Important: Customization is not included in the listed price. Any modifications from our standard design will require a custom quote prior to ordering.
Ideal Applications
- Large agricultural and commercial buildings
- Barndominiums, garages, and shops with long clear spans
- Covered arenas and storage facilities
- Projects requiring higher load ratings or enhanced rigidity
- Buildings in regions with heavy snow or wind loads
Why Choose a 2" Square Tube Gable Truss
- Maximum Strength: Engineered for large clear spans and high load demands.
- Customizable: Adaptable to your project’s pitch, span, and structural requirements.
- Professional Look: Clean lines and square tube design provide a modern, uniform appearance.
- Prefabricated Efficiency: Built in our facility for accurate, fast installation with reduced on-site labor.
- Engineered Confidence: Designed to meet or exceed building code requirements, including Miami-Dade standards.
Key Takeaway
The 2" Square Tube Gable Truss is the go-to solution for large, demanding structures that require both strength and customization. With its robust 2" tubing, long-span capabilities, and clean aesthetics, it provides a durable, engineered backbone for commercial, agricultural, or residential projects.
Customization options are available, but they require a custom quote before ordering, as they are not included in the standard listed price.

We pay attention to the details too! Right down to our patented purlin cups.
*Please note* all of our standard gable trusses are fabricated at a 4/12 pitch, and all of our standard lean-to trusses are fabricated at a 1.5/12 pitch. Any other pitch will be considered custom.
*Center bolts are included with all gable trusses; however, carriage bolt kits are not included with trusses. If you need carriage bolts along with your truss order, they may be added here. (you will need one set of carriage bolts per truss.)
Please look at our inside measurement chart to ensure you are selecting the correct size to fit your needs. Web depths on 2" square-tube trusses are 24"; and 1.5" square-tube steel trusses have a 16" web depth.
