[QUOTE="redprospector, post: 1224118, member: 5448"] A splice is the weakest point in any truss. In my opinion they must be staggered. I've built trusses for quite a few projects (years ago), and alway's tried to avoid a splice in the center of the span. That was on a regular roof truss though, not a flat roof truss. We used to call a "flat roof/floor truss" a king beam. Andy [/QUOTE]
