An economic design
and method of construction utilising plywood gussets to provide moment
resisting connections at the knee. A typical design arriving in site would
consist of two columns with gussets attached and a continuous rafter.

For larger spans
where transportation becomes a problem, applying a moment gusset at the
apex can halve the length of the rafters. The plywood gussets are precisely
cut and nailed to the laminated columns in Timberbond's factory.
