Frame Roof Rafters and Install Temporary Bracing

What happens here

With the main beams in place, the core work of roof framing begins. This involves installing the rafters (or trusses, depending on the design), which are angled pieces of lumber that create the pitch and shape of the roof. Workers measure, cut, and carefully install each rafter, fastening them to the main beams and often to a central ridge beam. Temporary diagonal bracing is used extensively throughout this phase to maintain the structural integrity and stability of the evolving roof skeleton until it is fully connected and sheathed.

Goal: Construct the pitched roof framework using rafters and secure it with temporary bracing.
