Web Steel Truss Buildings
What’s Holding Up Your Building Matters.
A web steel truss building gets its strength from a structural steel truss made with interconnected steel members forming the “web” between the upper and lower portions of the truss. Think: bridge construction.
At Miracle Truss®, that truss isn’t hidden somewhere in the background of the design.
It is the heart of the building.
Our uniquely optimized steel web truss system creates strong, open, clear-span structures while remaining practical to ship, assemble, erect and finish.
What Is a Steel Web Truss?
Look up at a Miracle Truss® frame and you’ll immediately see what makes it different.
Rather than a heavy solid beam, the truss columns and rafters uses structural steel members arranged in a web pattern to transfer loads efficiently through the building frame. Much like how bridges are built.
That geometry allows us to build strong, durable and resilient trusses capable of spanning substantial widths while maintaining an open interior below.
No row of posts running down the middle of your shop.
No columns determining where the tractor, lift, RV, airplane or workbench has to go.
Just useful space.
Web Steel Truss and Hybrid Steel Building: What’s the Difference?
Mostly, it’s what part of the building we’re describing.
Web steel truss building
refers to the structural steel truss system.
Hybrid steel building
refers to the complete Miracle Truss® system, combining those structural steel trusses and columns with wood purlins and girts.
So when you hear us use either term, we’re talking about the same basic Miracle Truss® design from two different perspectives.
Built in Sections. Built to Go Together.
Miracle Truss® steel trusses are manufactured with as much pre-welded and pre-punched components as possible, all in manageable sections designed to bolt together at the jobsite.
The components are fabricated and pre-fitted at our factory before your building heads your way.
Once assembled, the trusses are raised and connected to the steel columns, which simply bolt to prepared concrete piers through pre-drilled baseplates.
No field welding of the primary truss frame.
No fabricating your trusses from scratch in the backyard.
We do the steel work.
You put the pieces together.
Structural Steel Isn’t Just a Marketing Term Around Here.
Our trusses are manufactured using structural steel components, including structural-angle webbing. No cold rolled components. No light gauge materials. No rebar or wood posts.
Every connection matters.
Every weld matters.
Every clip matters.
And every building has a job to do once it leaves our factory.
That’s why our metal trusses are jig-built, fitted, welded, inspected and test-assembled (Pre-FITtm ) before shipment.
There are easier, faster and cheaper ways to manufacture buildings.
We happen to prefer building them right.
Clear-Span by Design
One of the greatest advantages of a steel web truss is what isn’t underneath it.
Interior support columns.
By transferring loads through the truss and exterior frame, Miracle Truss® buildings can create large open interiors that give you more freedom to use the floor space.
That can matter enormously in:
- Equipment and machinery buildings
- Automotive shops
- Agricultural buildings
- Commercial facilities
- Warehouses
- Aircraft hangars
- Riding arenas
- Garages
- Workshops
- Barndominiums and residential projects
A 40-foot-wide building should give you 40 feet of possibilities.
More Than a Steel Skeleton
Our web trusses also include pre-positioned steel clips designed to accept wood roof purlins and wall girts.
Those wood members become the secondary framing of the building and create familiar attachment points for roofing, siding, insulation and interior finishes.
That’s where the web steel truss building becomes a hybrid steel building.
Steel carries the structure.
Wood gives you finishing flexibility.
Pretty simple idea.
Pretty useful building.
A Building System Designed to Be Understood
We believe the person buying the building should understand how the building works.
You shouldn’t need a decoder ring and an engineering degree just to recognize what’s holding up your roof.
The Miracle Truss® system is intentionally straightforward:
Bolt it together.
Stand it up.
Frame it out.
Finish it your way.
Whether you erect it yourself, bring in some experienced help or hire a contractor for the entire project, you’re starting with a building system designed to make sense.
That’s The Miracle Truss® Advantage
A good steel building isn’t just a pile of steel beams delivered on a truck.
It’s a system.
A system designed around strength, usable space, efficiency, flexibility and practical construction.
That’s what our steel web truss has been built to provide for generations of Miracle Truss® owners.
