It is a combination of King Post Truss and Queen Post Truss. The upper section is shaped like a king post truss and the lower section resembles a queen post truss. The truss has two pitches. The upper pitch varies from 30 to 40° and the lower pitch from 60 to 70°. This type of truss is economical and can provide an extra room in the span. This type of truss is now rarely used because of its ugly appearance. The construction of the various joints is similar to that of king post trusses.
