Overview: The paper focuses on preassembling of truss roof sections on the ground that decreases risk and saves time. A veteran builder can describes this step-by-step method. The girder truss (or hip girder) is the backbone of the hip roof truss assembly; most roofs require a double girder truss. Attached to the girder truss at right angles are the jack trusses (sometimes called the face jacks or end jacks). Trusses are sometimes fabricated out of dimension, especially at the tails, so there is no need to measure from the tails of the girder truss. Generally, roof trusses are spaced 2 feet on-center.
