Double Fink Truss modification
Double Fink Truss modification
(OP)
Hi,
I am looking at an attic conversion. The guy wants to remove the two central internal members of a double fink truss. I appreciate truss engineering is specialist but has anyone any suggestions on the type of strengthening required? Plywood Gussets either side / Reinforce the rafters (double and deepen), I dont think a ridge beam can be installed.
