Step 6 · Frame the Roof

Decide between building rafters or using pre-fabricated trusses. If building rafters, cut them to the correct angle and length, considering the desired roof pitch. Install ridge boards and connect rafters to the top plates of the walls and the ridge board using appropriate connectors (e.g., hurricane ties). If using trusses, space them according to plans and secure them to the wall top plates. Ensure all connections are strong and meet building code requirements.
