ABSTRACT:
A truss and tie-down strap assembly for use in conventional building structures are shown. The strap provides direct mounting of the truss to the wall studs to provide increased mounting strength for the roof assembly to the side walls of a structure. One leg of the flexible strap is mounted to the truss assembly and the other leg of the flexible strap is mounted to the top plate and stud assembly. The strap is formed of a flexible material such that it can be easily deformed to accommodate different truss structures and side wall configurations. A truss and tie-down strap according to the invention can be preassembled at one location and mounted to the top plate and wall stud assembly at a separate location.
