What type of roof framing is this
Hi everyone,
Can someone help me understand why my roof framing has these steel hanger like structural ties. They attach to the ceiling rafters and the ridge member. I typically only see wooden framing members in other roofs I have seen. Does this truss structure have any particular name? The span of these trusses is about 35 -37' , the house was built in '64 in MA
Part of the reason I want to know is because have of these steel elements are what I would call loosely attached at this point. The other reason is I am trying to decide on some skylight options
Thanks, Igor
