"I found ABIS in the Yellow Pages and when I phoned them they were very helpful with their explanations and answers to my questions. The girls, especially Maria and Lindsay, were very helpful as I had to change the appointment several times. They were very patient. My inspector was great. He was very thorough, explained everything, and again, was very patient. I am very pleased to recommend ABIS."
A strut is a structural component of a roof truss and is an integral part of the load bearing, designed to resist longitudinal compression. Struts provide outwards-facing support in their lengthwise direction, which can be used to keep two other components separate, performing the opposite function of a tie.
