Gable Roof Framing Outriggers
Gable Roof Framing Outriggers
(OP)
Hi guys
Can someone please explain to me how the outriggers of a gable roof frame are usually designed and detailed so they can support a fascia as illustrated in the diagram attached?

However, the "last" truss does not bear on the end wall. Is this typical detailing?

in residential construction, it's typical to see it the way your sketch showed it. gable studs run up to roof deck, rake joist is nailed to inside of studs. personally i hate this connection, but i guess it works. i'd rather see a stud wall have a double top plate and have the outriggers done like the gable truss with a lowered top chord.

If the last truss is inside the end wall then ceiling battens can be fixed to the underside of the trusses and a blocking piece can be fixed to the side of the truss to transfer into the endwall.
