Fiberglass Trusses, Inc. designs and manufactures prestressed fiberglass beam-trusses and trusses for use in a variety of aquatic applications. These fiberglass reinforced plastic (FRP) components exhibit the following unique characteristics which provide advantages over traditional materials such as steel, wood and concrete:
- High strength
- Corrosion resistant & electrically non-conductive
- Lightweight
- Available in a variety of colors
- Easy assembly & installation
The above characteristics provide distinct advantages in the following markets: residential docks, commercial marinas, fish hatcheries, water parks, roof systems for boat houses and natatoriums, and specialty applications.

High Strength
Strength characteristics range between 40,000 psi and 100,000 psi depending on fibers and resins used. These properties are similar to steel.
Corrosion resistant & electrically non-conductive
Wet locations, marine (salt) environments, corrosive chemical exposures, marine borers and insects have little or no effect on FRP. Dielectric and non-magnetic properties are also characteristics.
Lightweight
Weight is approximately 1/5th that of steel which allows for reduced shipping costs, easy handling, assembly and construction on-site.
Available in a Variety of Colors
The color is already in the composite so painting is not required. Any color can be provided. A urethane coating can be provided for additional protection if required by the application.
Easy Assembly & Installation
Lightweight components are designed to be person portable and easily installed by hand and/or with light equipment. All connections are bolted.
