Hi
When installing the metal restraint straps to a gable wall at 2m centres, how is the 2m spacing defined?
Do you need to strap a certain distance from the start and finish of the run?
So If your rafter length is 3400mm how many straps would you install?
a) one in the middle... of the run
b) two at 1/3 and 2/3... of the run
c) three at 1/4, 1/2, 3/4... of the run
When looking at regs, it suggests placing the straps under the rafters although this clashes with the truss bracing. Can I still place them on top of the rafters?
Cheers everyone.
