Starting out on a piece of the family farm in 1977, Gable Enterprises was full of promise in an area that was booming. In the beginning, they built many houses from start to finish, but as time went on,, realized the growing need for Engineered Roof trusses. This was a new concept at the time, differing from the "old ways" of raftering trusses.

As the clientele needs began to shift, the engineers of the day started to understand how to transfer snow loads, and the differences required for each area. They started with Span charts in a book that showed the calculations of each web top/bottom chord giving the reactions under the varying snow loads, with each joint having a different reaction of moment/shear/vibration and "transfer criteria" to transfer the load to the bearing.

We have gone from working with skill saws, while figuring and measuring each angle for every joint by hand, (and then stringing lines, setting up jigs, and applying a one plate gusset to each joint, and then having to work together to flip the trusses to complete the same process for the other side,) to having automated machines do all that for us! This has saved our employees from having to meticulously perform all those extra tasks/steps, as well as having to go outside in all sorts of inclement weather to stand the trusses up out of the way. (to make room for the next one being sent out through the rollers.)

In our present day, things certainly run more efficiently, with automated saws that adjust the length and angle for each member within seconds and laser imaging to guide the assembly of our products, we have come along way!! We continue to make upgrades as we go along, and are always searching for ways to make things better, for both our employees and our customers!
