1.
Layout the truss spacing from the rear 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.
Starting at the rear of the building, install (5) five 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'.
