Contrary to the post below, pipe can be and is used for trusses. Pipe has a load rating just as wood or I beam does. Some engineering will be required though. Could be as simple as finding the right book with load specs and be a good welder. Here in NE KS a builder has put up many building with pipe trusses. Local pipe plant has been a good source for new pipe. Problem with salvage or "seconds" pipe would be consistent quality free from any defects. In a location that isnt subject to building codes im sure a person could fabricate their own. If codes are to be met, welding would probably have to be done by "certified" welders. Personally I wouldnt be afraid to build em myself. Im sure some will call me wreckless but I do have enough sense and resources to make it work.
