The lorry lifts them of the lorry to the ground and me and 3 men will be able to lift them into place. The 3 men will get beer money, family help.

Did the same on a job last yer. Cut the telephone cable and cut the internet off on 3 houses. Youd think the world had ended for them 3 houses when they all came out because they hadnt no internet haha

If the lorry has the lift on the back that sorts that out. Then its a matter of installing like this below. I know it isnt using a crane or a teleporter but ive worked on jobs where trusses have been installed like below. Going back 30 years i remember seeing trusses lifted up by hand onto roofs...

I know how it is on site. At times i didnt even have time for a **** haha but all info would be great with pics or videos. Have installed trusses before but never these raised tie ones. I was thinking maybe a scissor lift could do aswell. Rememebr using one years ago for attic trusses. Lifted...

Yes i see, but would it not be cheaper to fill in with battens instead of the ply where there's no bracing like in attic trusses. . Would 9mm ply have enough strength for bracing. id have thought it would need thicker.

Excellent! You can see they have been installed properly however why is there only bracing on the peak part of these trusses. I cant see non on the bottom of the rafters which will be the room. Will you be installing these at a later date or is this where you will be installing the plywood for...

I would need to see pics of this because i cant get my head around it for now. Would extending it over the wall plate then nailing the bracing to the wall plate be ok?

Have you any pics of the raised tie truss your installing with the ply, bracing etc.. It would nice to see because im thinking of doing my garage roof to raised ties in the summer.

how does the bracing get fixed to the wall plate. Are they not supposed to just stop at the wall plate

Maybe i got where the holes are wrong. I dont have the slates here

What would be the gauge be for a 5.3 rafter length. is the suppliers measurements wrong or my own?

But isnt that above the frost line?

Sounds good however any ive worked on the clients/builders probably went over kill for the sake of a few extra pound.

Ive been given the option of a raft or footings for foundations for a garage however i havent priced them up yet. Been getting conflicting advice concerning pricing from others that have had work like this previous. Its for a basic garage, ground conditions are good. House was built in 1997 and...

Ill be hopefully building a garage in the late spring early summer and ill be using attic or scissor trusses split in the centre with raised collar trusses enough so i can get a car lift in. I will be bracing as recommended for sch trusses however i would also want to install galvanised bracing...
