What is an octet truss?
The R. Buckminster Fuller FAQ: SynergeticsOctetruss, to use the trademarked moniker, is an OCtahedral and TETrahedral complementary grid implemented in such a way as to form a structural truss. A truss is an engineering mechanism for dispersing loads across a relatively long span, to enable coverage of large, primarily horizontal areas with a minimum of underpinning supports (posts). Most trusses appear to be arranged to act independently of one another, whereas the members of an Octetruss are all part of the whole unit.
How does the truss-to-truss system work?
Griffin Greenhouse & Nursery Supplies: Technical SupportWith a truss-to-truss system, the panels of curtain material move across the distance between one truss and the next. This distance leads to more compact bundles of fabric when the system is uncovered than are possible with gutter-to-gutter. There are three ways to configure the truss-to- truss system. First it can be flat at gutter height, minimizing heated area and making installation easy.
Do we have to hire a truss company to build the trusses or can we do it?
Barn Plans [Frequently Asked Questions]The trusses are designed and engineered to be "site-built".

Do I have to truss the bird?
TurkeyHelp-from the editors of Cook's IllustratedTrussing with kitchen twine is done to keep the legs of the turkey from splaying during cooking. We recommend an easier approach. Just tuck the ankles of the bird into the pocket of skin at the tail end. Tuck the wings behind the bird. Most of the time, we roast unstuffed birds. Cooking the stuffing in a stuffed bird to a safe internal temperature takes quite a while and usually results in overcooked meat.

Why do I hear your truss system is better?
Pole Buildings, Pole Barns, Barns, Steel Buildings, Metal Bu...Hansen Pole Buildings use the only TRUE interior double truss system. Research shows, two adjacent roof trusses have nearly a 0% chance of having the exact same weak point. By physically nailing the trusses together face to face, with no blocking in between, true load sharing is achieved. Further, our double trusses are set into a notch in the column at each end and bolted through.
When should the truss rod be adjusted?
Seagull FAQ'sYour truss rod should be adjusted when your neck develops a bit of a bow in it. The reason for the bow is a combination of the string tension that is constantly applied to the neck along with changes in relative humidity. Humidity is the most important part of this equation. Wood reacts to changes in relative humidity when it absorbs or loses moisture.

I have received an email with attachment that needs octet-stream. What should I do?
Hypermail Frequently Asked QuestionsNo attachment "needs" octet-stream. octet-stream is a label that describes the attachment as being "a stream of octets". What is that you say? Well, the application didn't know any more specifics and thus it identified it as good as possible. It knows it is a stream of octets, nothing else. So, an attachment coming as "octet-stream" can be pretty much ANYTHING. You have no idea, and neither does anyone else.

How Do I Properly Adjust The Truss Rod?
Hi! I just wanted to put down in writing some things I've observed while tweaking truss rods, in case someone else might benefit from them. I am not a luthier and I don't play one on TV. I have, however, done light repairs and adjustments on my instruments over the thirty-two years I've been playing. Though they influence this discussion, in the interest of brevity, I'm eliminating the influence of the bridge height, neck angle, and nut height (though I will reference the nut later).
Can Hoister Systems Be Installed Directly Into A Ceiling's Truss or Rafters?
Frequently Asked QuestionsYes, if your trusses/rafters line up with where you want your Hoister mounted, it can be installed directly into ceiling trusses.
