Truss Repair - Timber Resin Splice

Firstly, Stronghold Preservation removed the rotten portion of timber and a new portion of reclaimed pitch pine was cut to suit.  Horizontal slots were formed in the existing and new timbers. Steel bars were inserted into the slots and bonded to the timbers using a resin adhesive.  This formed a seamless and barely noticeable joint between the new and existing timbers.  This work was all carried out with the truss insitu.
