Trusses & Purlins – Part 1

Have you ever stood in a great cavernous log lodge (or seen one on TV) and wondered how the enormous log roof system was constructed? Surely you wonder about this daily. Well…Coteau des Prairies Lodge will have that majestic Rocky Mountain lodge feel. And we have captured some interesting snapshots from the log truss and purlin assembly process. Enjoy!
