    Colorado Roof trusses
    I have a manufactured home in Trinidad, Colorado with a garage dormer built into the roof. I want to build a sun room off that dormer and need scissor trusses with the same pitch, I'm not sure what that pitch is. I'm looking for a source and contact information for a company who can help me determine the correct ordering information then deliver the product at a reasonable price.

    You could check here - Leaders in Post Building Manufacturing | Graber Post Buildings, Inc.. I have been a delivery driver there for 3 months, but I haven't even begun to deliver to all the dealers they have. I know they presently deliver to dealers in 22 states and are continuously expanding, but I am not sure if Colorado is one of them yet. They make all kinds of trusses from 8' to 100'. I have delivered everything from a box that I could hold in 1 hand to a building package that took 2 semi trucks to haul. Although their core business is pole buildings, they put together a lot of standard building packages also.
