Wood trusses are pre-engineered and shop made. Trusses are typically constructed of 2x4s and 2x6s. Truss members are connected with metal gang-nail plates Roof elements are applied directly to the top chords. Ceiling (drywall) may be applied directly to the bottom chords.

Our truss design is dependent on deciphering the plans that come from the truss manufacturer. Of importance is the location of the girder truss (hip master) that the jack trusses will be attached to. There is a specific order and place for the trusses so please take the time to understand where everything goes. See diagrams on page 7. One key to reading the plans is knowing the numbering system. On page 4 the numbers 5-11-4 on the truss layout means 5 feet, 11 inches, and 4/16 or inches. Place the girder truss (or hip master) in its location and attach the center jack truss to keep the girder truss from tipping over. String line the bottom of the girder to keep it and the jack trusses straight. Consult the layout that came from the truss company, but most of the time the layout for the jack trusses starts from the corners and is every 24" to the center of the truss. This is from each corner, so the plywood will have a funny layout when you get to the center. The main trusses are every 24" on center from the girder truss toward the other girder truss. After the trusses are installed, the fascia board that the rain gutter attaches to can be installed. See diagram on page 9. Fascia is attached with galvanized 16d nails. Fascia can be cut on an angle to match the roof slope. Some of the material we will be putting up will be pre-painted. Anything that will have an exposed nail head needs to be galvanized. After the trusses have been installed, the hurricane clips may be installed. Use the 1" tico nails. Needle nose pliers may be helpful to hold nails in tight places.
