Hi, looking for advice on whether it is allowable to move my longitudinal binders. I’ve attached a diagram showing which one’s l’d like to install and subsequently remove.
The bottom chord binder is a necessity to move slightly to the other side of the joint, as it’s in the way of my proposed slightly lengthened loft hatch ladder. I’d put a new binder on the other of the joint and lap it onto the next truss (effectively joining 4 trusses), before cutting out the one between the trusses where it’s in the way of the planned loft ladder.
As for the binders on the central webs, ideally i’d like these a little higher to improve headroom a little, as I’d like to board out the loft for spacious light storage.
Any guidance appreciated.
