Kingpost roof truss load bearing wall.

Factors that affect truss pricing and cost. If one of the truss webs doesn t come down on the wall then it s not load bearing. If there is a column that supports the truss found in the wall the wall still would not be load bearing because the column is taking the load. I ve never seen a 30 truss that needed intermediate bearing but i can t say that it has never happened.

Load bearing interior wall under truss roof. Some spans have a lower rate per foot than others. The span in short is the length of the bottom of the truss. Ridge beam is provided at the apex of the roof to provide end support of the common rafters.

A gable wall will be load bearing if there is no truss is used at this point this is due to traditional framing methods being used for end of the gables but saying that you could use a truss at that point and have the wall open but this would need to be engineered to suit the situation.
