Import Tips

Certify compliance with regional snow/wind loads (e.g

ASCE 7) particularly for mono-pitch designs prone to drift loading

Use protective wrapping that allows visual inspection of truss configuration without full unpacking

Maintain manufacturing records showing finger-jointing and metal plate fabrication to prove non-lumber status
