e-strut

Struts for Stick Roof Construction

Wesbeam e-strut is an engineered LVL roof strut designed for conventionally framed stick roofs, supporting rafters in tile and metal sheet roof systems. Designed to work with e-purlin, it forms part of an efficient roof framing system for practical, accurate construction.

With consistent performance, dimensional stability and high compressive strength, e-strut provides a reliable alternative to traditional hardwood struts. Its engineered profile also supports easier handling on site, helping roof framing teams build with confidence and efficiency.

e-strut is available for purchase in Western Australia only.

e-strut for strong, consistent roof support

An engineered LVL strut designed to support rafters in stick roof construction and work with e-purlin systems.

e-strut is engineered for use as a strut in stick roof construction. It supports rafters in roof systems with tile or metal sheet cladding and is designed to work with e-purlin for efficient roof framing.

Consistent performance, high compressive strength and lighter handling make e-strut a practical alternative to traditional hardwood struts.

Where it is used

  • Struts in framed roofs

  • Tile roof systems where designed

  • Metal sheet roof systems where designed

  • Roof framing systems using e-purlin

Performance benefits

  • Compression strength: Designed to resist dynamic roof loads including demanding conditions.

  • Dimensional stability: Engineered properties support consistent roof framing.

  • Handling: Lighter than many traditional timber alternatives and safer to handle.

  • System fit: Works with e-purlin as part of a practical LVL roof framing solution.

Note: e-strut is available for purchase in WA only
