ABSTRACT:
A metal cross support is provided for use with a wooden truss structure of the type having a plurality of spaced wooden truss elements with a wooden stringer extending across at least one end of the truss elements and generally perpendicular thereto. A narrow and transversely extending channel is formed in each truss element so that the channels are in alignment with each other. The cross support comprises an elongated strip having a portion which is insertable into the aligned channel so that upon insertion, the metal strip is frictionally attached to the wooden truss elements. In addition, an overlapping portion at at least one end of the metal strip lies in a horizontal plane, abuts against and is attached to a corresponding horizontal surface.
