ABSTRACT:
A roof framing system consisting of an apex bracket and two bracket assemblies, each bracket assembly consisting of a rafter bracket and sill plate bracket. The apex bracket has two U-shaped sections joined by a bendable intermediate section. The U-shaped sections grasp the upper end of a pair of opposing rafters, while the bendable section accommodates the desired pitch of the roof. The rafter bracket has a U-shaped section for grasping the lower end of a rafter bracket and has two arms separated by a distance sufficient to allow a rafter to be disposed therebetween. The sill plate bracket has a right-angled section for mounting a top sill plate and has two arms separated by a distance sufficient to allow a rafter to be disposed therebetween. The sill plate bracket's arms receive and support the rafter bracket's arms, thereby allowing opposing rafters to be mounted at their lower end and subsequently to be rotated towards the apex of the roof for joining by the apex bracket.
