what about ten foot on center ? 2x6 joist hangers 24 on center with 2x6 purlins

Thank you for your question about truss installation and joist hangers. Installing trusses 10 feet on center with drop in purlins is feasible, but we have found that 8’ on center with purlins attached continuously above the trusses is more cost effective. Using 2x6 joist hangers spaced 24 inches on center with 2x6 purlins can work, but since they are not interconnected from bay to bay (across the trusses), you lose significant diaphragm strength in your roof resulting in additional costs to add strength back into your roof system by other means. Before proceeding with the installation, I recommend consulting with a structural engineer or building inspector to ensure that your design meets safety standards and structural requirements for your specific project.
