Tying down roof trusses/joists
Hi Folks,
<O:p
OK in the hope that someone can help me so I can get some work done this weekend (people that manufactured the trusses are not open on the weekend). I had a quick question in relation to what to use to tie down the roof trusses and intermediate ceiling joists to the top plate. I have been given both cyclone ties and some strapping that goes over the truss/joist and under the top plate etc. (multigrip???) so what exactly should I use to tie the truss/joist to the top plate? The way I understand it either could be used to do the job. To add to the confusion I have some binders there but they don’t get used on external walls, or do they? The guide I have doesn’t really explain it well and what it does show is fixing for jack/creeper trusses where as all I have is the jack/creeper rafters so??<O:p</O:p

Anyway thanks in advance<O:p</O:p
