[QUOTE="How much, post: 6297274, member: 7392"] Are you going to strip the roof and replace them or do you intend to try and take one out and replace it with steel ? We are having a roof rebuilt on a house that is different to barn as the ceilings are partially held up by the roof trusses I had assumed the truuses would be pulled out and replaced , as the trusses have pretty bad wood worm but the joiners are spraying them with wood treatment and then "plating" them either side with plywood which they say they have done many times before and will be stronger then new once done, the rest of the wood roof is being stripped and replaced and the slates re used but to take out and replace the trusses was in our case impossible unless we put new ceilings in the first floor. "plating" the existing trusses with plywood could be an option for you maybe ? [/QUOTE]
