If you are flexible in size and construction.....don't be afraid to call and ask about stock or 'leftover' trusses and see if you can incorporate them into you shelter.

Many times folks place an order for trusses (with a down payment) and then cancel, change their mind or simply don't pick them up. I've even seen trusses for sale on Craigs list.

Ordering custom trusses will be more expensive and if you can design your shelter around a set of available trusses you'll come out way ahead.
