Truss Wood
(OP)
I am checking the bending stress on a truss overhang. Can anyone tell me the types of lumber that are typically used in truss design? The truss drawings are unavailable. I figured it's probably Southern Pine or Spruce-Pine-Fur. The project is in Florida. I will of course be conservative if I cannot narrow it down further. Of these types, it "construction grade" always used? What is the lowest grade used for truss design? Thank you for your input.

Thanks for the info.
I do know that it is Southern Yellow Pine. Is this the same as "Southern Pine" in the NDS for Wood Construction? What is the "KD" in No.2-KD?
