- This is a novel bracket designed to attach the open truss rafter to the horizontal truss beam.
- The Truss End U-Channel Bracket, LH is employed to assemble a partial hexagon and partial octagon open-end truss structure.
- The Truss End U-Channel Bracket, LH attaches to the side face of the rafter beam and the horizontal beam and provides one U-channels to hold the horizontal beam.
- In conjuncution with Truss Center Joints Bracket and the Butt Joint Plate, this bracket allows DIYers to easily create a strong and lasting open end truss structure.
- The Truss End U-Channel Bracket LH attaches to the rafter’s side surface using four (4) 1/4″ x 1-1/4″ lag screws.
- The Truss End U-Channel Bracket LH attaches to one face of the horizontal beam using four (4) 1/4″ x 1-1/4″ lag screws and the opposite face using two (2) 1/4″ x 1-1/4″ lag screws.
- The high strength design of this bracket creates a strong joint between the horizontal beam and the rafter member.
- This bracket is designed to work with both 2×6 and 2×8 horizontal beam and rafter member.
- This bracket is designed to compatible with both partial hexagon and partial octagon open-end truss structure.
- Two simple but DIY-Centric features are added to this bracket as depicted in the image, below. Two joint inspection windows are provided and identified by a hexagon shape cut and an octagon shape cuts.
- For a hexagon open-end truss assembly, align the bottom edge of the rafter with the slot window located above the hexagon shaped cut. This will locate this bracket at the proper left to right position automatically.
- For an octagon open-end truss assembly, align the bottom edge of the rafter with the slot window located above the octagon shaped cut. This will locate this bracket at the proper left to right position automatically.
- Included are ten (10) 1/4″ x 1-1/4″ lag screws to complete the job.
- This bracket is constructed from 1/8″ thick high strength steel.
- This bracket is laser cut and formed and coated with durable black powder paint.
- This bracket may be spray painted over with any desired exterior-grade paint color.
Shane Roberts –
This part in conjunction with the other parts made for building the truss makes building this type of truss very easy. The result is a super-strong truss which is better than the standard factory-built truss used in normal home construction. The solid screw-on design of the brackets makes a permament truss.
I am very impressed with the details and designs of these truss parts. I highly recommend them to anyone.
