Improvements relating to manufacture of trusses
There is disclosed a member configured to define a sloping top chord member of a truss which is to be secured atop a support structure and in which the top chord member is fixed to an end of a bottom chord member of the truss at a heel, the member being configured with through holes disposed at predetermined positions therealong, to each of which holes corresponds a respective possible lateral position of a lower end of the top chord member relative to said end in the truss, the member being fixable to said end whereby the heel is formed and whichever one of the lateral positions is appropriate is realised, such that the hole to which that lateral position corresponds is located to position correctly a fastener for securing the truss to said structure when received through that hole.
