Product Information

There is no standard spacing – it depends on what size of rafters you want to use, and the span of your shed. Attaching the rest of the rafters requires you to merely line up your rafters in the connectors you’ve already installed. They join at the peak of the roof by connecting to the opposing rafter or to a ridge beam that runs the length of the peak of the house or shed.

We’ll take a look at some of the most common shed rafter types and why you might or might not consider them in your next shed project. Perfect for use with our Framola range of Pergola brackets, these brackets are suitable for use as roof joists when creating roofs. Always make sure to have a gutter union/connector (wherever you need to join two gutter lengths, an angle, or prefab outlet) near a bracket to support the joint, especially if you have elected not to use the ‘bead connectors’ which sit inside the front scroll or ‘bead’ of Infinity gutters, angles and pefab outlets – halfway into each across the join – offering additional support.Transcript: Installation Guidance for Infinity Galvanised Steel, Copper, and Zinc Guttering Top-Fix Rafter Brackets – for properties with no fascia board. You can use common rafters on any shed roof, but they make the most sense when constructing a gable roof or lean to-type shed roof where they can sit on or attach to top plates of a wall. Whether hurricane ties are required is largely dependent upon where you live, so make sure to check your building code to see if this is necessary.

You know there are a variety of ways how to attach rafters and trusses to the top plate, but you aren’t sure which is best for your project.This means lifting and placing an object that can weigh hundreds of pounds depending on the size of the roof you are constructing. In this article, we’ll review each method to help you determine which works best for the roof you’re building.

A common rafter comprises two beams that extend upwards from the top plate of either side of a shed wall. As with the rafter, make sure you drive the screw in at the point where the top plate and wall stud meet.Requiring only a single screw per rafter, this presents one of the fastest ways to join your top plate and rafter.
