Ron- Actually have that situation this project on one of the gables. Let me think on what you are suggesting and see if I can come up with why this situation might require a different consideration. Thanks!

Thanks Waross for your insight…. From a different perspective. Not electrical engineer but was electrician in the navy. Always interesting to me how electrical types get to see a lot of different sides to the equations

JAE- I'm happy to help when I can. I'll see what I can do.

Interesting again. Would have guessed (for no particular reason) that it would have been about 50/50 with and without gable trusses. So then. Along those lines would you see any real benefit to stick framing the gable trusses? For large gables? For gables with say brick veneer?

Thanks DVD for the follow up and the clarification

DVD- Maybe I'm being thick about this.... But 2x6 as rafter tail is 5 1/2" deep. 2x4 is 3 1/2" deep plus 1 1/2" on side= 5". So, 1/2" descrapancy right at the bottom of the tails.... if the bottom of the tails to be in the same plane so not in same plane with this setup. But after it's all said...

Ron- Thanks for that explanation! Makes perfect sense now. As far as percentages go would you say you do more truss packages with or without gable trusses (talking the normal type or dropped not the kind the post was about with web members perpendicular.... beause thinking now that would be an...

Thanks everyone. Not trying to be difficult. Didn't realize was an international type forum..... Yes a lot of different ways of doing things any way and in that light way more possibilities. I'll try to be clearer next time. Ron- Yes, have plenty of heel height to cover dropping. DVD- If I'm...

Last week I got hammered for not including enough info in the post title.... Really don't see the additional contextual info necessary. Composition shingles if that helps. 24" oc trusses if that helps. Maybe I wasn't clear that these will be wood trusses.... Nothing "special".... residential...

Overkill? Advisable? Necessary?

Have a project with some wide gables (62/0 & 57/0). It's a commercial project. Normally I would just draw a dropped gable truss and call it done. At least in a situation where there are no attic spaces that require insulating and/or have windows in them. But as I think through a smaller gable...

Thanks everyone for the education and interest. As an aside, I've come up with a way to elimnate the funky jog at the right end so simplifies this somewhat. Will be addressing the design with a fabricator soon. Ron- I currently have drawn at 2/6 deep for the 'parallel chord" part.... for sketch...

Sorry. Laughng at this dialog. Not at you lexpatrie. Just interesting to me. It's a profile. A truss profile. Have no idea if I can change the titel of my post. At the time I thought it was pretty self expanatory what I was trying to get at. Again, not pointing any fingers at any one. So back to...

Lexpatrie. Have no idea how the meaningless link ended up in the thread title. KootK. I hear you. Note that the depth of that area can be pretty much anything it needs to be as long as it doesn't come out of the overbuilt roofs at the left and right sides of the profile. BARetired. Thanks for...

Ha! Yeah IYO was meant to be “in your opinion”. Maybe i made that up or something…. Seemed right in the “moment”…. Don’t hate it when people do that “totkottmyliubr”…. (That’s short for “throw out things that make you look it up on the internet before responding” btw (by the way just for the...

BARetired- Sorry for the 10" cmu part of my post. Have no idea where I got that from at this point. The profile you're showing could possibly work this end if that profile is ok with truss fabricator. IYO if the profile you show will not work then do you think something along the lines of what I...

RB1957. This is the profile only. Yes, I understand that there will be web members. Good point on the extra loading which ultimately will become important. There will be overbuilt roofs both left and right side of the truss. Yes, support will be at the extreme ends. Thanks for the iterest...

Is this truss profile manageable? 65'-0" span with bearing points far left and right of the profile. Need the end extensions so can work with some slope concerns with getting the truss elevated at the center. The thinking goes that basically just build in a parallel chord truss and piggy back...

10" CIP Basement wall ideally. Need a brick/ stone ledge with full height brick walls at places and corbelled brick over stone and water table at others. To get BIA recommended clearances of 1"+ from interior face of brick to exterior face of sheeting (and leave enough space between the brick...

Agreed and point well taken. Not readily available to me unfortunately. Relatively new to Florida.
