Thank you for watching our channel! Sorry for the late response. 2x4 studs - 2 nails 2x6 - 3 nails 2x8 - 4 and so on Short cripple studs only need two, but often just get matched to regular studs. Nailing trusses is only temporary and not structural. You either need hurricane screws, h2.5, or some other hardware to provide adequate hold down requirements. Nailing trusses is temporary, we do 2-3 on each side (trying to enter through the metal plate). The more nails you put in, the weaker the truss heal (which is not good). Stay tuned to the channel, we will be going over these things in depth.
I would like to see you nailing protocols. EX. how many for each stud, cripple, truss, ect. Thanks!
