Two types of general arrangement of the structure of a typical single storey building are shown in the figure below. This article focuses on typical single storey industrial buildings, where trusses are widely used to serve two main functions: Trusses are also used to carry heavy loads and are sometimes used as transfer structures. Trusses are used in a broad range of buildings, mainly where there is a requirement for very long spans, such as in airport terminals, aircraft hangers, sports stadia roofs, auditoriums and other leisure buildings. ![]() We will for sure do a tutorial when we replace the lattice.Overview of trusses Use of trusses in buildings I actually just bought new ones in white HERE or there are THESE. We will be hanging our string lights again too. Once they finish our Cedar Impressions (I shared more about that HERE if you missed it) we will do a blog post all about the deck paint color too and the stripes because I know a lot of you wanted that info. You could also do the same type of screen that we used as our privacy screen HERE Most of these homes use the bottom part as a garage or as an open sitting space.Ī reader shared this option of buying Decorative Screen Panels- HERE Also the horizontal slates on the side are pretty! ![]() They raised this home and did brick along the bottom opening! I love that idea. This is a good example of what our deck will look like with then white house and the gray below. Really love this look and that dark gray.

Off topic but I love to see when they keep the original home and just add onto it rather then knocking the entire thing down. ![]() None of them use lattice!Īnd a lot of these are new construction- tore down older homes that had flood damage from Hurricane Sandy. We live close to the beach and the homes have to be a certain height with the flood zoning, leaving a tall front porch with openings that need to be covered. A lot of you have the same thoughts about the lattice under your deck too and were looking for ideas! Thankfully the homes in our area are full of ideas to replace the lattice work. We have lattice underneath our deck and just don’t love the look (for us) and mixed with our new Cedar Shingles. I have looked at our deck before but once you elevate one thing it makes the other shabby things looking…well, shabby! You know that book “If you give a mouse a cookie”?
