The restraining strap comprises a planar portion 12 extending along a longitudinal axis in a first plane, and a profiled portion 18 having at least a portion extending out of the first plane. The planar portion is secured in use to one or more first structural members 90, 91, such as a roof truss, rafter, beam, or joist. The profiled portion is secured in use to one or more second structural members 60, such as a stud or panel of a gable wall. The strap may be elongate, and formed from one piece or first and second joined pieces. The profiled portion may be arcuate with a curved cross section, or polyhedral. The planar and profiled portions may each have apertures for receiving fasteners. The apertures of the profiled portion may be obround, elongated, or slotted, and arranged in a staggered manner. The restraining strap is used in tying a roof truss, rafter, beam or joist to a stud or panel of a gable wall. The strap transfers wind load from a gable panel in a first vertical plane to a roof structure in a second pitched plane. The restraining strap can be rotated to accommodate various roof pitches.
