Day 3 shed build 💪 weather has been finding me on this one! #shed #carpentry #tools
What happens here
With the shed walls framed and the roof trusses assembled, the builder uses an extension ladder to reach the top plates of the walls. One by one, the assembled roof trusses are lifted into position and secured to the top of the wall frames, forming the gabled roof structure. The nail gun is again used to firmly attach each truss. The video shows the final trusses being secured, completing the main structural shell of the shed.
Goal: Secure the assembled roof trusses to the top of the shed walls.
