Similar in design to a King Post Truss, the Queen Post Truss uses two vertical posts instead of a single, central post. They have a more open appearance that is often preferred by homeowners.

Hi Brice, This queen post truss is exactly what I’m looking to use for a project I’m working on. Do you know where I could look for span tables & sizing the members? Thanks!
Rebecca,
Due to the different variables in timber frame construction there are no set span and sizing charts. Your best bet would be to head over to http://timberframeengineeringcouncil.org to gather more info as well as head to http://timberframedirectory to find an engineer to help you out. Hope this helps.
Brice
