Thanks for sharing. The truss plans that came with my scissor truss package only show two 2x4's nailed to the bottom cords of select trusses as permanent bracing. Nothing else is mentioned.
@@foursyths I'm building in NC. On this particular site there is considerable wind coming across an open field from the north that I am concerned about.
@mashoutman I'm always a fan of making things stronger than required. 😊 it is way easier to explain why something didn't break then to explain why it was someone else's fault. Unfortunately, I have seen some instances where people claim to know what they are doing but don't. Fortunately, I have been able to trust the engineering callouts from my truss manufacturer. You could always ask them to show you the calculations. I love picking the brains of the trades. @@mashoutman
@@foursyths any suggestions on installing trusses directly next to one another? I have 2 locations where the ceiling height changes for a Dormer. Plans just show the two different types of trusses next to each other...no details.
@mashoutman I've had that before. I've simply just put them next to each other. If you're wondering about a nailing pattern to nail them together, it probably doesn't need anything.
Thank you for making this video. That's what I'm going to do with a double fan truss system

Yes, this will be all that is needed depending on where you live. The calculations are based on wind loads and other factors. I build in Utah.
