Trusses
question on trusses. contractor is building a stand-alone garage
24'x30'. 2nd floor is for storage. he's using 2x8 lumber for the floor joists, mated in the middle with a gusset plate. is this sufficient for bearing weight on the 2nd floor for storage? some reason I thought wood-composite i-beams were better. he said the gusset-type should be fine. yes? no? opinions? |
