Hello, my name is Trenisha and I was wondering if I could receive some assistance with identifying the type of roof to wall attachment in reference to the wind mitigation section. I believe that the answer is either A or B.
Roof to Wall Attachment: What is the weakest roof to wall connection?
A. Toe Nails Rafter/truss anchored to top plate of wall using nails driven at an angle through the rafter/truss and attached to the top plate of the wall.
B. Clips Metal attachments on every rafter/truss that are nailed to one side (or both sides in the case of a diamond type clip) of the rafter/truss and attached to the top plate of the wall frame or embedded in the bond beam.
C. Single Wraps Metal Straps must be secured to every rafter/truss with a minimum of 3 nails, wrapping over and securing to the opposite side of the rafter/truss with a minimum of 1 nail. The Strap must be attached to the top plate of the wall frame or embedded in the bond beam in at least one place.
D. Double Wraps Both Metal Straps must be secured to every rafter/truss with a minimum of 3 nails, wrapping over and securing to the opposite side of the rafter/truss with a minimum of 1 nail. Each Strap must be attached to the top plate of the wall frame or embedded in the bond beam in at least one place.
E. Structural Anchor bolts structurally connected or reinforced concrete roof.
F. Other: ______________________________________
G. Unknown or Unidentified
H. No attic access
