Splitting a Bottom Chord - 03/25/04 08:50 PM
I'm building a set of Trusses where the Kingpost is much larger than the bottom chord. I would like to cut the bottom chord in two and house 1in. it with 3in. tenons in a 10by Kingpost. I was wondering if this would still by structurally sound or not. The Truss spans 20' with a 6by12 bottom chord and a 10by10 Kingpost.
Thanks
