Could someone explain these trusses

[tewald (Terrill Ewald, CPI, MD# 31310)]

Home built in 1987, all the ends looked spliced with what looks like a 2x6 to extend the soffits. Is this allowed?

[mgratton (Marcel Gratton, CMI)]

The hinged gussets are consistent of trusses used for modular homes.

[jjonas (Jeffrey Jonas)]

Agree. The multi-piece Ridge board is another clue.

[lkage (Larry Kage, CMI)]

Yes, they run it down the road and then extend the soffits and raise the ridge on those manufactured things when it is on site.

Wouldn’t have thought this would be a manufactured home.

DO NOT confuse MANUFACTURED with MODULAR… they ARE NOT the same!
