Subject: Re: Are Morton buildings worth the premium



Some buildings won't stand without knee braces, some do quite well. The difference is in the attachment of the truss to the posts. Some that stand well without braces have a heel on the truss that's a foot or two tall nestled into a slot in the posts and anchored with 1/2" or 3/4" bolts. Some that need braces use a truss heel that's a single 2x6 high and attach it to the posts with 20p spikes while it sets on a nailed on ledge. Braces might not be enough for that construction.
