ABSTRACT:
A rafter-to-support-member connection apparatus includes a single-piece, substantially two-dimensional blank which includes a longitudinal portion and a transverse portion projecting transversely from the longitudinal portion. The longitudinal portion includes a first end region and a second end region. The transverse portion includes transverse connection apertures. A plurality of indicia are located at predetermined crease line locations on the longitudinal portion. The transverse portion and the first end region and the second end region of the longitudinal portion are adapted to be bent with respect to each other along predetermined locations on the transverse portion and the longitudinal portion to form a three-dimensional structure. In one embodiment, the rafter-to-support-member connection apparatus provides an adjustable fascia rafter connection apparatus to connect a wood or metal fascia to the plumb end of a structural metal rafter. In a second embodiment, the rafter-to-support-member connection apparatus provides an adjustable plumb end valley rafter connection which is used to connect a structural metal tubing valley jack rafter to a wood or metal valley rafter. In a third embodiment, the rafter-to-support-member connection apparatus provides an adjustable plumb end common rafter connection which is used to connect a structural metal tubing rafter to a wood or metal ridge beam.
