An Inside Look Into a Truss Factory

Piles and piles of collapsed trusses | Construction Pro Tips

Secure before you leave

Always install temporary bracing whenever you leave the jobsite and the trusses have not been fully installed and decked. If the wind kicks up over the weekend you may have a nasty surprise waiting for you on Monday morning. Again, check the packet for temporary bracing instructions. Are you getting the feeling that there is a lot of helpful information in your truss packet? There is!

Not only were the trusses on this Ag building not temporarily braced, neither were the walls. Yikes!
