Install 6 x 12 cross bracing on the truss ends.<br />
And finally, install 6 x 12 cross bracing on the<br />
end bents. I forgot to mention drilling all the<br />
holes for cross bracing and stretcher rods<br />
ahead of time. Carefully <strong>com</strong>e up with a<br />
drilling plan so you all that before everything<br />
is assembled.<br />
Install #2 x 56 stretcher rods between the<br />
bottom chords. Use nuts and washers on both<br />
sides of the bottom chords.<br />
Well, that’s it. Ready to install on the pike.<br />
While they look <strong>com</strong>plicated, they are not<br />
difficult to do. Every dimension cut was taken<br />
on the band saw. A drill press and a hand drill<br />
were the only other power tools. There were<br />
no tricky or hidden steps. All hardware and<br />
materials easily available.<br />
Thanks to everyone for their kind word and stopping by for a look.
