Roof trusses are secured with hurricane straps or other related Simpson strong ties. These are essentially metal plates with holes for nails and are bent into a coresponding shape to allow the installer to nail down into the top plate as well as into the side of the truss.

∙ 12y agoto replace trusses you need to first place alternate load-bearing measures. Run a support header beneath the ridge of your roof, to the length of your roof. Construct support walls or beams. Reinforce the roof rafters. Remove the damaged trusses after the new support system is placed and last but not least place the new trusses.
