Scissor Truss for best pitch load limit

Scissor Truss for best pitch load limit

Scissor Truss for best pitch load limit

(OP)
thread1066-168461: Minimum slope for scissor truss?
The greater the difference in the pitch of the top and bottom of Scissor truss the stronger the scissor truss for load bearing. Example:

a 8/12 pitch top & 2/12 bottom pitch scissor truss will support more load than a 4/12 pitch top & 2/12 bottom pitch scissor truss.
