I would like to convert my garage (16'x22')roof which is a flat roof to a sloped roof using premade trusses it has solid brick walls no stick framing, I was thinking of running 2x6 plates around the perimeter and using some kind of ties to strap the trusses to the plates, is this common practise or am i going about this the wrong way any info would be useful thank you. james		Guest User 8/18/2006	Share Or copy this URL: https://www.metalroofing.com/spirit/comment/8508/find/
You are on the right track. Certain areas have wind load requirements that mean certain anchoring methods. Check with the local building department.		Allan Reid Dura-Loc Roofing Systems, Inc. 8/23/2006	Share Or copy this URL: https://www.metalroofing.com/spirit/comment/8509/find/
