A Guide for Homeowners & Builders

Shoalhaven Roof Truss & Wall Frame Types

Every build is different, and the right frame or truss configuration depends on your roofline, floor plan and site conditions. Here's a guide to the structural components we design and manufacture for Shoalhaven builds, made to order and engineered specifically for your project using CAD software, with custom spans up to 20 metres.

Shoalhaven Roof Truss Types

Gable Truss

The standard, most cost-effective truss shape, a series of triangular trusses lined up across the building, ideal for classic two-sided pitched roofs.

Hip Truss

A more complex, engineered set including truncated and jack trusses, used to form a sloped, four-sided hip roof.

Scissor Truss

Angled bottom chords create a vaulted, cathedral-style ceiling inside, rather than a flat one.

Attic Truss (Room-in-Roof)

Engineered with an open centre section, creating usable loft or bonus room space within the roof structure.

Mono (Skillion) Truss

A single-sloped, half-truss design used for skillion roofs, lean-tos and single-slope extensions.

Valley Truss

Infill trusses used where two different roof lines meet, forming a valley.

Shoalhaven Wall Frame Types

Loadbearing Wall Frames

Engineered to carry structural weight from the roof or upper floors.

Non-Loadbearing Wall Frames

Iinternal partition walls, optimised for space rather than load.

Curved Wall Frames

Custom-engineered curved framing for feature walls, arches and architectural details.

Shoalhaven Floor Systems

Floor Trusses / Open-Web Joists

Engineered horizontal trusses with open sections, making it easy to run air conditioning ducts and plumbing without cutting into structural timber.

Engineered I-Joists (HyJoist)

Lightweight, dimensionally stable beams that stay straight and resist shrinking or squeaking over time

LVL Beams (hySPAN)

Laminated veneer lumber for long, reliable structural spans.

Not all timber is created equal, and where it comes from matters. Wadsworth works with Australian-grown timber, including native hardwoods like Blackbutt, Brushbox and Cypress Pine, across our frames, trusses and joinery, prioritising local stock over cheaper imported alternatives that can compromise strength and consistency.


Built for the Australian climate. Timber is one of the most sustainable, environmentally friendly building materials available, and Australian-grown timber is specifically suited to local conditions, from coastal humidity to inland heat.


A natural, non-toxic material. Unlike many manufactured building products, timber doesn't leak chemicals into your home. It's safe to handle and safe to live around.


Naturally corrosion-resistant. Timber doesn't corrode in salt air or around heavy industry, unlike steel and many other structural materials, a genuine advantage for coastal builds throughout the Wollongong region and beyond.

Termite-treated for peace of mind. All timber used in our builds is specially treated to resist and repel termites, backed by a 25-year guarantee.


A natural insulator. Timber's cellular structure contains air pockets that create a natural thermal barrier against outside heat and cold. Our frames also have open sections that allow extra insulation to be added without increasing wall thickness.



Renewable and environmentally responsible. As a renewable resource, timber remains one of the most environmentally sound choices in construction, and all timber we use is sourced from suppliers who comply with Australian and international sustainability regulations.

Why Australian Timber

Why We Manufacture With Australian Timber

Coastal conditions are hard on building materials, and salt air in particular takes a toll on anything prone to corrosion. Timber doesn't have that problem. Unlike steel and many manufactured alternatives, it holds up in salt-exposed environments without corroding, which is a big part of why Wadsworth sources Australian timber for every frame and truss we manufacture for Shoalhaven projects.
Beyond corrosion resistance, timber is naturally non-toxic and won't leach chemicals into your home, and it's genuinely one of the more sustainable structural materials available. All our timber is termite-treated and backed by a 25-year guarantee, and it's sourced from suppliers meeting Australian and international sustainability standards, with native Australian hardwoods like Brushbox and Cypress Pine available for projects that call for it.
Its natural insulating properties are a bonus too, air pockets in the timber's cellular structure create a barrier against heat, useful for coastal builds that cop full summer sun.
