In this video Henry teaches you how to install trusses on a framed wall. Everything you need to know is included in our detailed instructions - some of the main parts covered in this truss installation tutorial are:
- How to start the truss install
- How to use temporary blocking to make the truss installation safe
- How to line up your trusses for a perfectly straight ridge line
Part of the video showing how to secure the trusses to the walls was destroyed. Use 2 screws or nails diagonally on each end of the truss into the the top wall plate. We also recommend using hurricane ties on each end of the trusses (excluding the 2 gable end trusses) for extra hold down strength for high winds.

Nice videos, very helpful, and things to consider. I used hurricane straps because my trusses are 13.5' and 7' tall and I like the extra fastening strength.

I was asked how the trusses are attached to the walls... 3" screws on an angle on each side of the truss, and then hurricane anchors on all inner trusses. The Gable trusses have a full length 2x4" backer attached to the top of the wall on the inside, and then they are secured through the bottom chord into this backing from the outside of the shed.

Have another question if you don't mind sir. Could you tell me, besides using the hurricane straps, where you place your 3 3inch screws when securing the trusses to the top plate? Thank you in advance. So far so good building my shed with your instructions. I owe you big time
@Countrylifeprojects
@Countrylifeprojects 3 года назад
Hi Random Guy... that is one part of our video that was ruined :-( the trusses should be toe-nailed to the top plate with nails for their shear strength. One nail on each side for a total of 4 nails per truss.

Sorry one other thing ,when doing fascia along the truss when there plumb for gutters to be installed , do you drop the fascia 2X6 down on the truss 2X4 a inch so that the roof sheathing can be placed over them ?
@Countrylifeprojects
@Countrylifeprojects 9 лет назад
Jerry Peckford Hi Jerry... There are various ways to do this, but yes, typically you want the plywood to sit tight on the outside edge of the 2x6 (or whatever size material). If not gutters are being installed, you would want to do this differently so the plywood edge is not visible but the details for this are beyond the scope of comments here (there is various ways to do this too).

@SpaceCaddy0307 8 лет назад
Does it matter if you put the sheets of plywood up before the trusses? This weekend I thought that I would cut the trusses after I walled my frame. (It rains a lot here.) I'm looking for an efficient order. Thank you.
@Countrylifeprojects
@Countrylifeprojects 8 лет назад
+SpaceCaddy0307 Yes it does (I assume you are talking about the LP Smart Panels). If you watch the videos in series you will see that the trusses have to be laid out using the floor, and assembled prior to framing the walls. In regards to doing the walls first, much depends on how you plan to finish the soffits - check out our video on this part. All the videos explain the order I chose to do things and the reasons why. It is not written in stone and how you change things up depends a lot on how closely you are building to match our shed design and materials used.

@escapefromny2012
@escapefromny2012 4 года назад
Everything was going great, learning a lot, very helpful, until this video and you don't show how you secure the trusses to the tops of the walls. Did you sink screws at an angle down into the gusset and trusses, or did you only use hurricane ties?
@Countrylifeprojects
@Countrylifeprojects 4 года назад
we lost that part of the video (corrupted file). You are correct, screws or nails on an angle.There is shear (uplift) potential here so nails are better. On trusses I always use hurricane anchors. For the small amount of cost to use them, IMO they are a must on every project.
@peterbenoit7163
@peterbenoit7163 5 лет назад
You built the whole shed using a drill/driver and not a pneumatic nailer or a hammer and nails. Is one better than the other?
@Countrylifeprojects
@Countrylifeprojects 5 лет назад
For small sheds either is fine... however for larger structures like a garage or house, nails have more shear strength (and may be required by code). I used screws mainly for those watching as most will not have an air nailer setup (or buy a box of nails for small shed). But, almost every DIY'er these days has an impact driver or cordless drill (or both) and that makes it easy to follow our shed build.

So confused. I've watched your series and it's helped a lot. but I also watched some others. they use rafters with a ridge board. What's the difference?
@Countrylifeprojects
@Countrylifeprojects 10 лет назад
A ridge board is used when trusses are not used and you build the roof framing in place (piece by piece so to speak).

Hey enjoying watching your video series on the shed building, I’m fixing to start me a new building that’s 16’ wide and 24’long with a 9’ roll up door I was wonder if I could do the trusses in the same manner with 2x4 or do they need to be 2x6 since the building will be 16’ wide. Thanks Tim
@Countrylifeprojects
@Countrylifeprojects 5 лет назад
Hi Tim, At 16' wide I would look at getting engineered prefab trusses made for the climate in your area. You might find them much more affordable than expected. I am personally comfortable using this style of truss up to 12' but that is about it. And at 12' I would build them a little different.

Is there any reason the sub fascia has to be one continuous piece as it does get covered . I'd like to use up pieces of 2x4 I have left over since I took down a previous shed.
@Countrylifeprojects
@Countrylifeprojects 4 года назад
Well... I like to keep it as continuous as possible. Less joints, stronger shed. But it is not a structural requirement so you could use shorter pieces. That said, do use pieces long enough to span at least 2 rafter ends on the gable ends of the shed - to help provided maximum support for the ladders (gable overhangs).

do u need a building permit
@Countrylifeprojects
@Countrylifeprojects 8 лет назад
Hi Rody.... in most communities across the US an Canada a permit is required when you exceed 120 sq ft, however some allow larger outbuildings and others might be a bit less. You will need to check with your local building inspector/department to find out for sure. Additionally, if you live in a community governed by HOC guidelines you may have height and size restrictions - be sure to check these too if applicable.

Are 3 inch deck screws and 3 inch construction screws the same type of screw #8''s?Do they have the same shearing strength , is the difference only the coating on the deck screw ?
@Countrylifeprojects
@Countrylifeprojects 9 лет назад
Jerry Peckford Hi Jerry... I am not sure. If you are concerned about shear strength, I would consider using nails where this is a concern. On a shed this size, it shouldn't really be an issue. But if I was building a garage, house or any other larger structure I would take the shear strength of fasteners into consideration and to meet code where (and if) required.

@MySqueakyfoot
@MySqueakyfoot 2 года назад
This was is excellent. I built 5 sheds since my 1st one in 2014-which I followed the instructions item line by item line. Over the next 5 afterwards I made some adjustments mainly because I live in a snowy climate where rotting wood is as common as rusted metal. The last one built was in August of 2021. All screws are Teflon coated, the bottom stud on the trusses I increased from 1/4" to 1-3/8" beyond the floor frame to accommodate using T-111, thus allowing it to slip in behind the truss closing any air space. I cut in look-out's to attach the front and rear trusses 24" beyond the length of the shed floor. After the trusses were installed, I secured the facia boards and completed the soffit before installing the plywood roof sheathing. It gave me room to caulk any gaps, fill any cracks etc. insuring me no bugs, birds, bats, or other unwanted guests. This shed is 12x16 ( 192 sq.ft ) with an overall roof span of 20x13 ( 260 sq.ft ). I also used full 2x4x8 studs not precuts. I nailed the siding 5-1/2" above the bottom plate, attached an aluminum drip edge slipping it behind the bottom of the siding, then ran galvanized roof flashing to fill the void, an nailed 2x6 pressure treated to cover the plate. To give it a finished look, I cut a 6" strip of T-111 and nailed it horizontally over the 2 x 6 and flush behind the drip edge. The 30 60 90 degree design allows the builder to construct the trusses off site or over the winter for instance, and gather materials over time making it sensible, fun to follow, and exciting to finish and trim.

Great build and easy to follow video! What type of screws did you use to secure everything? Also, for the toenailing part into top plate was that also screws? Thanks!
@Countrylifeprojects
@Countrylifeprojects 2 месяца назад
Glad you like the videos... For most of the construction, bright construction screws with a coarse thread (here we use square head Robertson). Anything going into pressure treated lumber should be coated and labelled as for use in PT lumber. For toe-nailing trusses to top plate 3 1/4' 16D nails (or equal) is recommended (both sides of each truss and on both ends). If using nails for framing, anything going into PT lumber should be galvanized. General rule for framing with 2x lumber is 16D 3 1/4" common nails.

So is a ridge board not safe or too difficult to do by one person? Is that why most people create these truss brackets?
@Countrylifeprojects
@Countrylifeprojects 5 лет назад
Trusses are used a lot because they are fast to install, fairly inexpensive and if ordering from a truss company - engineered for snow loads, wind resistance etc for the location you want to use them.

I didnt see how you attached the trusses to the top rail? Other videos I've watched show it nailed in at an angle and then hurricane ties. Also, if I wanted a less of a pitch would I just need to know the correct angles or are these angles specific for weight of the roofing material? Great videos and amazing detail!!
@Countrylifeprojects
@Countrylifeprojects 4 года назад
Hi Robert... It was a bummer, but that footage was corrupted and we could not use it. But yes, trusses would get toe nailed into the top plate and then add the hurricane ties. As far as the roof angle.. we choose 30 degrees as it was a standard setting on miter saws and easy to calculate for DIY'ers and all the other cuts that come after the trusses are made. You can use any pitch/angle you like, but for these shed builds we found 30 degrees ideal.

Are the gussets proportionate to the roof width or can the same size gussets be used on a 14' wide shed? I was originally thinking of going with the rafter style roof but your videos are making consider these instead. Would the same overhang ladder system work on the ridge and rafter style roof?
@Countrylifeprojects
@Countrylifeprojects 5 лет назад
I personally would not use plywood gussets for trusses over 12' in width. At 14' you might be best to purchase engineered trusses built for the climate of your area - you may find the prices much lower than expected and worth it. For 12' trusses I would use gussets on both sides of inner trusses and use 1/2" plywood instead of 3/8" - same would apply to 10' trusses but only if very heavy snow loads are expected. Lastly, at 14' wide it is likely that you would need a permit and homemade trusses may not fly with the local building department - you'd have to check (total square footage etc).
@yeyah151
@yeyah151 5 лет назад
Thank you, I checked and no permit is needed for anything under 200 squared feet which in my yard allows me a 14x14 and weather wise we don't get extreme snow rain or wind mostly lots of heat. Thank you for your quick and informative response oh and the great videos I'll definitely look into the engineered ones.
