    Looks like the compression ring is stout amnd heavy, no doubt itll work the way you made it,and itll be fun putting it up. Thanks you for posting and hope you had a memorable memorial day

    good video and job looks like it will work like a ridge beam tranfer the weight to the walls. take care, be safe and well.

      Yes, the compression ring works as a ridge and the the roof system self-supporting. The walls hold the roof as a vertical load. Thank you for the comment and thank you for watching!

      Apologies for the lapse in content lately. Even this project was started months ago and only recently completed. Other projects have been in the works but in different stages of completion. All with the goal of getting back to the house build. Thank you for following along!

      There is a support we made to hold the compression ring during construction of the roof. Still not sure how everything will happen but scaffold and block tackle are most likely involved. This summer, stuff has to look like a house. Thank you for following along.

    I understand the concept. The top will be under compression, so screws will just have lateral load.
    The bottom cord of the truss will be under tension, seems to be a lot of load for fasteners alone. Will there be some sort of strap on the inside of the truss vertical member, keeping them compressed against the steel.

      You are correct. There will be a pair of large steel bands around the trusses. Walls and roof decking also play a part in trianglation of truss loading. The screws holding the trusses to the ring are mostly alignment during construction. Thank you for the comment and thank you for watching!

      I should have known that you would have it covered
      Just the old carpenter in me had to ask

      @@jameslyvers7658 I appreciate the feedback. There are always head-scratchers when building things and I am sure we will run into a few. Old carpenter advice is always welcome!
