Step 13 Layout Roof Trusses
1.
Layout the truss spacing from the left of the building. Measure from the backside of the
2x4 gable frame when marking the location of the first truss. Important: When marking
the opposite wall, place the 'X' mark on the same side of the line so your trusses are parallel
when they are installed.
2.
Install metal hangers to the tie plate with 1-1/2" hanger nails . The opening should line
up with the 'X' mark, the bottom of the opening, flush with the 2x4 tie plate. Detail 'D'.
