Trusses are quite common these days because they have five big advantages from the builder s standpoint. Trusses are pre fabricated triangulated wooden structures used to support the roof. Such roofs are built with mostly timber take a number of different shapes and are covered with a variety of materials. This house uses trusses for the roof framing.

Domestic roof construction is the framing and roof covering which is found on most detached houses in cold and temperate climates. The skeleton of a roof is formed with rafters or trusses generally spaced 16 inches or 24 inches apart from the center of one rafter to the center of the next. Set the angle of the circular saw blade to match the slope of your roof and run the saw along the top edge of each fascia board. The alternative is to build up the roof s frame with 2x8s and 2x10s.

Fascia boards are the horizontal members tying your rafters or truss tails together. To stabilize the rafters support the roofing material and hold the entire roof together roof sheathing is installed. They keep you roof s lower line together and prevent sagging and separation. Trusses form the roof line on buildings and provide support for the lumber that holds shingles or other form of roof cover.

Making the tops of your fascia boards the same angle as the roof allows you to easily place roofing material over them without creating bumps or ridges. Without bracing it is almost impossible to install trusses.
