ABSTRACT:
A truss having an integral hold down strap can be secured to the wall of a structure. The hold down strap is held between two truss elements, such as a web member intersecting with a lower chord of the truss. The hold down strap is secured to the truss by a nailing plate which can be one of the same nailing plates used to connect other elements of the truss together. The nailing plate teeth penetrate the hold down strap and one of the truss elements to secure the strap to the truss for shipment to a construction site. The hold down strap extends from between the truss elements down into engagement with the wall on which the truss rests where it may be secured to the wall.
