Engineered for the
Big Picture

The quality of your build is only as good as the quality of the products that you put into it.

Floor Systems

Whether you’re looking for an open web floor truss system or an I-joist floor system, we’ve got you covered.  Our open web floors offer a high level of design flexibility and can span the greatest distance.  Our I-joist systems are stronger and straighter than dimensional lumber and provide a fast and efficient way to frame your floor . Either way, we’ve got all the products you need to frame a straight, strong, and structurally sound floor system.

Roof Systems

From the simplest garage roof to the most complex residential or commercial build, we can do it all.  Our experienced design team, engineer support group and industry leading software ensure you’ll get the most cost effective and framer friendly roof package possible.  We also specialize in roof trusses for farm buildings (pole sheds) with the engineering know how to produce a superior product.  And our engineering staff provide additional support for the installation of very large span farm or commercial roof trusses when needed.

Tall Walls

Whether your engineer designs the tall walls, or you want us to design it, we’ve got all the products and know-how for your tall wall framing.  We primarily use LVL (laminated veneer lumber) in our designs because of it’s superior strength and durability over other products.  Our designs ensure the most efficient possible use of engineered material so that only the parts that need to be LVL are called up for it – leaving all other parts as standard dimensional lumber.

Beam Products

We carry a large inventory of LVL (laminated veneer lumber) products for many different header and beam applications.  Whether it be a large window header or a main beam for a floor system, we’ve got you covered.  We stock 5-1/2” deep up to 24” deep material.  And we stock these beams in 60’ lengths and cut to suit the lengths you need.  We can also source other types of beam material such as parallam and glulam beams if required.

Laminated Posts

Our manufactured posts are light weight and have superior resistance to rot and decay.  They are manufactured in a controlled environment to ensure they are straight and consistent.  They get added strength from metal plated joints on the outside faces of the post.  We have in house software to specify the post sizing based off the building size, height and wind loading for the area.  Save yourself time and money and get your posts supplied by Gang-Nail!

floor systems

Floor Trusses

Open web floor trusses offer a level of design flexibility, unlike any other floor framing product. They can span greater distances, requiring fewer beams, and be built with a variety of end details to suit your application. The open web configuration allows you to easily conceal all the heating, plumbing and electrical within the floor system without having to cut or drill holes. You can also bury the beams within the floor system, providing for a completely flat ceiling.

I-Joists

I-joists can be a more economical option in comparison to open web floor trusses. Our I-Joists are stronger and straighter than dimensional lumber and provide a fast and efficient way to frame your floor. We stock I-joists in 9-1/2”, 11-7/8” and 14″ depths.

Pony walls

Whenever possible we provide pony walls as part of our floor system.  They go over the foundation wall or load bearing walls that are parallel to the floor truss or I-joists.  The pony walls are built to match the floor depth and are typically built out of 2×6 dimensional lumber.  They are easier to insulate, require less blocking than rim board, and provide a more efficient load transfer through the structure. 

Roof systems

Roof Truss

From the simplest garage roof to the most complex residential or commercial build, we can do it all.  Our experienced design team, engineer support group and industry leading software ensure you’ll get the most cost effective and framer friendly roof package possible.  We also specialize in roof trusses for farm buildings (pole sheds) with the engineering know how to produce a superior product.  And our engineering staff provide additional support for the installation of very large span farm or commercial roof trusses when needed.

connectors

Metal connectors are often required and supplied as part of our floor and roof packages. They are used to connect 2 or more framing members together. Our connectors are supplied by Mitek, who are leaders in their industry and offer an extensive variety of products to suit every situation.

Gables & Ladders

Gable ends are manufactured in the ‘flat’ orientation whenever possible.  This provides for straighter and stronger gable ends, requiring less site ‘straightening’ on site.  We can supply your gables with, or without, the plywood sheeting attached depending on what you prefer.  Ladders are supplied as a quick and simple way to finish the gable overhang.  They typically frame back to the first truss for added strength.

Tall Walls

Tall Wall Design

Our designs ensure the most efficient possible use of engineered material so that only the parts that need to be LVL are called up for it – leaving all other parts as standard dimensional lumber.  This can translate into big savings for your framing package.  We ensure the design we produce has all the proper dimensions, so the framer doesn’t need to reference 2 different drawings for the information.

Material Supply

Whether your engineer designs your tall wall, or we do, we have all the necessary engineered materials required.  We primarily supply LVL (laminated veneer lumber) in our designs because of its superior strength and durability over other products.  We also have a full inventory of clips and connectors to ensure proper connections are achieved. 

Beam Products

LVL (laminated veneer lumber)

We carry a large inventory of LVL products for many different header and beam applications.  Whether it be a large window header or a main beam for a floor system, we’ve got you covered.  We stock 5-1/2”, 7-1/4”, 9-1/2”, 11-7/8”, 14”, 16”, 18”, 20” and 24” deep material.  And we stock most of these beams in 60’ lengths and cut to suit the lengths you need.

Glulam

When LVL beams are not sufficient due to length and loading we will suggest a glulam beam.  These beams come in very large sizes, span greater distances, and can support more load.  The other reason to use glulam beams is because of their aesthetics.  They showcase the natural beauty of wood and can be a feature in your building.  If you’re interested in glulam beams go to Western Archribs website and see what they have to offer!
