Description
Perspective view looking along the roof ridge showing multiple trusses in sequence. This photo captures the consistent 24” on-center spacing and reveals the repetitive pattern of truss construction throughout the building length. Excellent documentation for understanding insulation coverage requirements.
Visible Elements
Truss Pattern:
- Multiple identical roof trusses in sequence
- Consistent 24” on-center spacing visible
- Metal gusset plates at every truss peak connection
- Symmetrical web member pattern on both sides of each truss
Ridge Construction:
- Ridge line extending toward south gable end
- OSB sheathing forming continuous roof planes
- Gable end framing visible in background
- Window opening in far gable wall
Metal Connectors:
- Large galvanized gusset plates at peak joints
- Smaller plates at web-to-chord connections
- Consistent connector pattern across all trusses
Insulation Planning Notes
This view is valuable for:
- Estimating total insulation coverage area
- Identifying consistent cavity depths between trusses
- Planning spray foam application path along ridge
- Confirming uniform truss spacing for batt calculations
