Abstract
A truss system and method for use in constructing a building structure comprising a first and second truss member connected to one another a distal end thereof thereby forming a peak joint. A cross bar is connected to each of the first and second truss members at an under side of the peak joint and a sleeve is connected to each of the first truss member and the second truss member at an end opposite the peak joint. Upon securing the cross bar to the first and second truss members, a truss unit is formed wherein a support member is received by the sleeves of each one of the truss units, and upon securing the support members to one another, the truss units form a frame of the building structure.
