Need some help with Truss bracing

[fastrucken1]

So below is a copy of my truss plans and I was wondering if anyone can help me figure out were to place braces?? looks like the middle 5 but im not sure. This is my first time putting trusses up..

Thanks

correct presuming you are sheathing the interior, and exterior, otherwise you need to follow thetop and bottom cord specs as well.

often they stick tags on the truss at the bracing locations.

other temporary bracing may be needed to safely install them before sheathing. they should give you a couple industry standard sheets on that.

The bracing requirements are listed directly on the spec sheet...just below the table and to the right end......

Top chord - structural sheathing directly applied

I interpret the endwall to be braced in the middle 5 vertical members. The scissor trusses require bottom chord bracing with rows across all trusses every 2' 2" + 0/16" per that sheet, if you don't apply a rigid ceiling. Even if you did apply a rigid ceiling I would still do some diagonal bracing across the set of scissor trusses. Apply to the top surface of the bottom chord.

What he said, you can see the ends of the 2x4 braces on the drawing on their respective vertical chords.
Tension members do not need bracing, the forces try to stretch them.
Compression members need bracing, they can buckle and fail.
You cannot tell which is which by looking at them, you need to follow the drawing as a minimum. And add diagonal bracing to keep them from toppling over and to keep the corners from racking.

I did mine for the first time and I did more then they recommended. I inserted 2x4 in big w shapes in the web of mine. For initial end wall install I screwed temporary 2x6x16 to outside sheathing of bottom wall extending up to catch end wall truss. Then I used temp bracing on roof side as I went. Used a ladder as I went. Also cut and screwed 2x4 to top of truss going up so the top was perfectly spaced at ridge. No way did I want to have all my trusses blow over for lack of bracing.

For the gables since they don’t line up with the scissors you strongback them, or out a 2x4 on flat to make a T or L shape for the end wall and nail every 6” on center. The strongback needs to cover 90% of the length between plates on that chord

I think one thing I left out that is probably important is this is going on a pole structure. So the back common Truss has two poles that go all the way up to the top chord at 10 foot intervals. The front common Truss will end up having 4 poles that go all the way up to the top Chord as well.

I saw where it recommended for the scissor trusses to be braced every 2 ft 2 inch on Center. But if I'm going to finish the inside do you guys think it would be best if I just put some sheathing for ceiling?

And unfortunately the truss company didn't give any additional information with the trusses might be worth a phone call on Monday

drywall is acceptable on the ceiling, you do not need to do sheathing.
