Socket Systems Manufactures a Steel Coupling System Called Lumber Link

    July, 2009 -- This ¼ inch plate steel joins 6 x 6 timbers to create a clear span building up to 30 feet wide and 60 feet wide using 6 x 8 timbers. Frames are assembled on the ground with your choice of gable or gambrel roof and raised into place using the foot locking system. No cranes of lifting equipment is needed.

    A second floor can be installed using metal I-Beams or wood members. Vertical supports are not set into cement to eventually rot, but are safe inside the foot fixture. Lumber Link uses no treated lumber and less wood than typical trusses.
