Hi
I've got trusses to put up for my extension, the ceiling span is 7m and the roof width is 3m. According to the truss plans I need the do a "X" diagonal bracing each side of the roof, so the diagonal braces need to cross over each other. I'm trying to understand the detail for intersecting them, I've seen stuff about using a 600mm splice plate to join them but can't seem to find anyone who stocks such a thing. If anyone's ever done this and got any pointers it'd be much appreciated as always!
