Roof truss

The butt joint is the simplest form of joinery. If the end of the square (90 degrees) piece of wood (# 1) must be in the face of another flat board (# 2), (# 1) piece only "Tilt" will be determined in light of the other board members (# 2). Because a butt, no real integrity, of course, need hardware fasteners are sometimes used wood glue or construction adhesive is necessary, as well.

They are often used in barns. Squared end cuts of three-dimensional shape such as wood --- 2 of 4, and 2 of 6 in wall frames, and 2 from 8 to 2 in 10 floor beams for buildings over --- is butted off the board faces, with nails or screws, bracket .

This wall decoration work, carpenters nail Butt joints in the road "foot pegs, which simply means nailing bind to the end of a board at a 45 degree angle, the two cards together like a" T ". Shelf supports butt leads usually requires the use of "bar hangers" which are galvanized or zinc-plated steel brackets, which acts as a saddle.

It should be noted that the boards together, connected not to cut the links are always rectangular.

Rafters is a good example and the dressing usually require different fasteners. Truss boards are organized in regularly with steel plates, the small spikes or "finger" them to have. The Steel plates are stamped in this manner in the factory.

These discs are simply bind the whole intersection hammers together, the two cards together, and sometimes supplemented with nails or screws.

Smaller versions of those used to connect steel butt joints together on smaller projects wood repaired as "tiles".

Relief panels tend to be countersunk holes in them, for the use of screws, the plate is placed over the butt joints and repair screwed into place.
