1.
Place (2) two 62" long 2x4 boards with angled ends together as shown below. Hold in place
with 2x4 blocks as shown.
2.
Secure the tops together with a wood gusset. Nail the gusset to the 2x4s with (14) fourteen
6d common nails. Angle nail slightly so nails do not protrude through the 2x4 boards.
3.
Repeat above steps to assemble (8) eight more trusses.
Wood Gusset
2x4-62" Boards
Building Tip: Temporarily screw 2x4 blocks to the floor. There are short 2x4s, that may have an
angle on one end, supplied in the kit for this purpose. This will secure the truss boards in position
so all the trusses will be assembled the same. Use the 2-1/2" deck screws packed in the kit.
4.
Select (7) seven trusses and apply wood gussets to the opposite side. (2) two will be used later.
