King Post

The King Post Housing System has been developed over a number of years, to make full use of roof space, without the need for any new or unproven construction techniques or technology.

King Post is a unique truss system that spans the entire building, alleviating the need for internal load bearing walls and allowing rooms to be placed in their most advantageous positions.

Based on a design innovation using standard building techniques - both architectural and structural - the system provides the house builder with an impressive range of benefits to meet their own and client needs. The result is a soundly constructed dwelling with "kerb-side appeal" - a selling point for any house!

Pre-assembled dormer kits, gable panels etc, offer versatility enabling buildings to be constructed in brick and blockwork or structural timber frame.

Reduced costs bringshouse building within the scope of the DIY builder. And with Elvet Structures just a phone call away, assistance or on-site help is readily available if required.

The Elvet Design Team can help with technical decisions and offer advise based on experience. With over 400 King Post Houses built in and around the north of England the concept is well proven.
