Select the truss that has gussets applied to
both sides. Install the truss between the
gable end and the truss just installed. Space
the truss evenly in the opening.

Secure this truss using left and right metal
brackets. Use 6d common nails to secure
a bracket to the truss plate, and two 1-1/4"

Install another set bracket on the other side
of the truss.
