as shown below. Screw 2x4 blocks, to the floor, to hold the 2x4 members in place.
4. Secure the tops together with a 1x4 metal barbed plate.
5. Install (2) two 2x4x17" gable studs. Nail through the bottom plate into the 2x4 studs. Secure
the top using 1x4 metal barbed plates.
6. Repeat the above steps to assemble the gable.
Building Tip: To aid in the assembly of the trusses, temporarily screw 2x4 blocks to the floor.
There are short 2x4s, that may have an angle on one end, supplied in the kit for this purpose.
This will trap the truss parts and insure that all the trusses will be assembled the same. Use the
2-1/2" deck screws packed in the kit.
