01 / Coordinate
Start with the details.
Span. Pitch. Bearing elevations. Timber sizes. Steel connections. Project-specific shop drawings bring the architectural and structural requirements together before cutting begins.
For custom-home builders · Shipped nationwide
Custom timber trusses.
Built for
your plans.
The timber, the hardware, the shop fit, the handoff. A project-specific truss package from the people who know how it goes together.

Built by Ridgeline Log & Timber Building since 1996 Fabricated in Wyoming. Delivered nationwide.
01 A fabrication partner, not a catalog
Made for one home.
Ready for your crew.
You bring the project. We take on the timber package.
Forged West turns the home’s architectural and structural requirements into custom prefabricated heavy timber trusses—coordinated, shop-fit, and ready for your crew to assemble.
One coordinated scope
Here’s what’s included.
- Plan it
- Design coordination & shop drawings
- Make it
- Timber procurement, fabrication & custom hardware
- Prove the fit
- Shop dry fit & labels matched to the drawings
- Get it there
- Freight, assembly instructions & customer support
Timber with the right character
Reclaimed hand-hewn. Reclaimed sawn Douglas fir. Reclaimed resawn white oak. New kiln-dried Douglas fir. New round log.
Connections that belong in the design O>
Exposed plates, bridge washers, hidden steel, and timber plugs. Hardware coordinated with the project’s structural requirements—not added as an afterthought.
The reason for all that coordination
It should feel like
it belongs there.
From a sheltered entry to the room everyone gathers in. Built around the home, not the other way around.
02 From drawing to installation
The drawing isn’t
the deliverable.
The fit is.
Follow a timber-and-steel truss system from coordinated drawings to its installation in Wilson, Wyoming.
02 / Visualize
See the whole room.
The coordinated perspective places all seven trusses in the same system. Your team can review the rhythm, geometry, and timber-and-steel relationships before they arrive on site.
03 / Fabricate
Fit it here first.
Timber and custom hardware are fabricated, brought together for a shop dry fit, and labeled to match the drawings. Connections are checked while the assembly is still on our floor.
04 / Install
Give the crew a clear handoff.
Labeled components, matched hardware, assembly instructions, and support from the people who fabricated them. Your crew installs a package that has already been fitted together.
03 Built for the people building it
A clear handoff.
A real person to call.
Labels tie each component back to the shop drawings. Assembly instructions give the crew a sequence. And the team that fabricated the package is available when a field question comes up.

Before we talk
A few things
worth knowing.
Custom doesn’t have to mean unclear.
Is this a kit or a custom truss package?
Every package is made for an individual home. Geometry, timber, finish, joinery, and hardware are coordinated around the project’s plans and requirements. There are no stock models or preset kits.
Who handles structural engineering?
Structural design and stamping remain with the project’s engineer of record. Forged West coordinates the fabrication and shop drawings with the approved architectural and structural design. Whether the trusses are decorative or load-bearing, attachment and support requirements must be resolved for the project.
Do you ship nationwide? Is installation included?
Freight, assembly instructions, and customer support are included in the truss package. We ship nationwide for installation by your local crew. On-site installation is a separate scope and is available in the Mountain West, subject to project review.
What is the lead time?
Plan on a typical 6–8 weeks for fabrication after approved shop drawings and material release. Design coordination, approvals, material availability, and freight can affect the overall schedule. We confirm a project-specific timeline during the scope review.
What do you need to review a project?
Start with a call and send the current plans, project location, and desired installation date. We review the timber scope, materials, and schedule with you. For a qualified project with enough information, our target is a preliminary scope and budget within one week—not a final engineered drawing set.
