Hybrid Post Frame — Steel Truss, Wood Column

Steel trusses on wood columns, modeled the way they actually get built — face-mounted, not top-bearing.

HYBRID POST FRAME STEEL ON WOOD

Engineered steel web trusses carried on solid wood columns, with wood girts and purlins for secondary framing. Redline models the connection correctly, prices it from your own supplier costs, and gives you the takeoff.

Hybrid Post Frame Capabilities

01

Steel Trusses, Wood Columns

Clear-span steel web trusses bearing on solid 6x6 or 8x8 wood columns. The truss lands on the face of the post, not the top, and the model reflects that connection rather than approximating it as a wood truss.

02

Wood Secondary Framing

Girts, purlins and blocking stay wood, so the building finishes and insulates like a post frame instead of a steel shell.

03

Clear Spans Wood Won't Reach

Steel web trusses carry spans past what a practical wood truss handles, without dropping interior columns into the floor plan.

04

Bracket and Bearing Detail

Wet-set and drill-set column brackets sized to the post, tracked as real line items instead of a lump allowance.

05

Lean-Tos and Attachments

Lean-to trusses, attached buildings and covered areas priced against the same catalog as the main structure.

06

Your Pricing, Not Ours

Truss, column, bracket and panel costs come from your supplier sheet. Change a margin and the quote moves with it.

07

Structural Design Assistant

A customer hands you a plan to quote. Upload it and Redline reads the drawing and renders the hybrid layout — columns, truss spacing, openings — to refine from there.

08

Included in Every Plan

Hybrid is part of your Redline subscription. No separate license, no per-system add-on.
