|---|---|
| Description | लकड़ी की छत ट्रस - Lakadee Kee Chhat Tras (Timber Roof Trusses) are structural frameworks made from wood, typically using species like Teak (Tectona grandis) or Sal (Shorea robusta). Teak has a density of 600-750 kg/m³ and a bending strength of 80-120 MPa, making it suitable for load-bearing roof structures. |
