Proper Handling
Trusses are made of
small dimension lumber
connected by metal
plates. Side loading,
heat, shock loading can
damage metal plates and
greatly weaken truss.

Proper temporary
bracing The most
common cause of truss
collapse is insufficient
or improper temporary
bracing. Temporary
bracing stays in place
until the roof is sheathed
and the permanent
bracing is installed.

Permanent Bracing
This is usually shown
on the truss erection
diagram. Compression
members will buckle
easily (and truss will not
develop its design
strength) if not properly
braced. This can be
done with continuous
lateral or individual T
bracing
