web and chord framing?

[Richard W. Washington]

Do the web's need to have a 2x4 between each? I saw several on this new home that were missing and some not secured.

[Marcel R. Cyr]

No, those appear to have been spacers at time of the truss erection.
They have H-clips on the radiant barrier sheathing so blocking is not necessary.

[Richard W. Washington]

Thanks Marcel..

Marcel is correct on the short pieces of 2x4.

However the green paint on the web member in the center of the picture typically indicates where permanent bracing is to be attached. Around here you would see a green tag on all the members or on a few with the rest indicated by green paint.

[Marcel R. Cyr]

Yep, and sometimes they are red.

Also a diagram like this shows where they are required shipped with the trusses.

Thanks Marcel.
More for the PC'S hard drive.
Manufactures links would be appreciated.
PS: I am using Certian Teed's roofing literature to help get shingle installers in Montreal up to speed on proper installation techniques.
Love to have a copy of your hard dives residential building information. HA HA HA
Your the king mate!

It is nice to have power to influence change isn't it Nick!
What do you want first.
With a statement like this you guys will be backed up until spring.

[ROBERT V. YOUNG]

Just waiting for someone with the time and moxy to rewrite copy-write.
