Trial set up of the roof truss for client before delivery

On 23rd Mar, we did a tri-set up of the roof truss for our client before deliver to ensure that customers can smoothly and quickly install after receiving the goods;

To set up a truss for a roof, you typically follow a series of steps. Here's a general overview of the process:

Obtain design and engineering plans: Start by obtaining the design and engineering plans for the roof truss system from your client or a structural engineer. These plans will provide detailed specifications for the truss configuration, dimensions, and materials.

Prepare the site: Clear the area where the truss will be installed, ensuring there are no obstructions or debris that could interfere with the setup process. Make sure the foundation or supporting structure is adequately prepared and in accordance with the design plans.

Gather materials and tools: Collect all the necessary materials and tools required for the truss installation. This may include the trusses themselves, lifting equipment, fasteners (such as bolts or screws), bracing materials, and safety equipment (e.g., hard hats, gloves, harnesses).

Position and align the trusses: Start by positioning the trusses according to the design plans. Ensure they are properly aligned and spaced according to the specifications. Use temporary bracing to hold the trusses in place during the setup process.

Secure the trusses: Once the trusses are in their correct positions, secure them to the supporting structure using appropriate fasteners. Follow the design plans and any specific instructions provided by the engineer to ensure proper attachment.

Install bracing: Install bracing elements to reinforce the truss system. These may include diagonal braces or collar ties, which help distribute the loads and improve the stability of the trusses.

Check for alignment and adjustments: Once the trusses are secured and braced, check for proper alignment and make any necessary adjustments. Ensure that all connections are tight and secure.

Complete the roof structure: After the trusses are in place, continue with the installation of other roof components, such as purlins, sheathing, insulation, and roofing materials, according to the design plans and local building codes.
