- Installing trusses is by far the most enjoyable part of the process. You get to be up in the air, pounding nails, creating something awesome. The building is really starting to take place, so stick around, and tell what you think about the project. Hit that bell so you get notified every time RRBuildings posts. I appreciate the support!
Drop in the comments what the biggest clear span truss is that you have installed.. loved to hear!

I think the word you’re looking for is “lateral” strength. I seriously want to thank you for the procedural tips and opening your company up to UA-cam. Having guys that work together as well as you and your crew does is golden. I sense that you and your guys can almost work silently and can anticipate each other’s next move. Your accuracy and attention to detail is impressive. “Making do” and “good enough” don’t seem to be in your vocabulary. I’m pretty sure I’m not alone looking forward to your videos. Thank You!
Ken Wolfe thanks Ken. Appreciate it
It is a very good book for beginners as well as for those that are already into ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxTNB_zFBSnTo_O1PqfVUwgi7ityw0JlKt A very good basic ebook to keep as a reference too. I like it and the way the subject matter is presented. It has humor and that helps with the reading.
Love your videos
Very helpful especially being a carpenter myself in Australia, its nice to see the different ways other carpenters in other countries build.
Keep the videos coming
This has been a really fun build to watch. Thanks for taking us along on the journey.
"The job wiil takes less time in the end, if you spend the time early"
words that motivate me...
Totally awesome video,thanks for the helpful hint on end to line up the end 😎
I'm watching this building go up now !!! Awesome Kyle !!!
That trailer in the first couple seconds needs some love! Lol that floor has seen better days
pro tip take a thick piece of 6 inch angle and one of those machines with forks and push it is a beautiful thing.
Wow. Your knowledge of this craft is remarkable. I truly enjoy watching your channel. I look forward to any content you post. Thanks.
Horizontal stability. Great job as usual Greg
Just found your videos and I’m super pumped ty for all your efforts and quality work
Thank you for this video, sir. I absolutely loved the tips and tricks you and your team use. My team and I will be using them in the future. Thank you again, sir.
Accuracy is important when you fix anything ..RR building does the accurate work...love from India..
Great video thanks for sharing have a great day
Well done, this is a great job you are doing. I believe the long video is better than the short once 👌🏻👍🏆
My question to you on the other video was just answered in this video. You use a long nail and nail the long ways through the purlin. Great way of doing it. Keep it up.
Another great video! I don’t like to give advice but when straightening out the pile of trusses I have seen a crew take there skid steer and slid the fork over to one side and put a block up against the mask and run it up to the truss and give it a little push. Never done just seen it done. Again great work and it’s great to see some real craftsmanship.
God Bless!
I love it, works fantastic, great price !!!
I love the trusses !!!
So I haven't had time to see all the vids you made and am catching up. LOL on me I mention the problem solving at layout and you're showing it with the trusses! Great example of what i was talking about. Thanks for sharing.
Great job man!
Love the way you brace the building. You must own a mile of chain. The hitachi cordless nailguns are well worth the money.Great job as usual. Stay safe.
I don't know how I stumbled onto your page but I am glad I did. I enjoy watching the building process and I am a little OCD so seeing how to pay such close attention to detail is really awesome.I find myself driving around Missouri looking at different buildings and noticing how their little details look compared to yours. I love how you show the entire build from start to finish. Thanks for making these vids!
Never miss truss day.
I've been a mechanic all my life and recently got interested in building. I'm not interested in changing careers atp but I'm definitely watching these plus other videos and learning. Keep up the good work.
This is a great build. I have been watching a few of your videos and I think I know who to call once I get my land in Arkansas to come help install my pole barn dream shop. Great stuff y'all.
Great information and tips 👍
Great info every job!!
Motocross and then RR buildings on the tube 🙌🏾 Saturday’s is for the boys!
Rain... love it and hate it lol the race was a mess and it makes you slow down your work. Another good vid my dudes 👌🏽👊🏽🇺🇸
Great improvement on the audio! Thank you.
Use the rain to your advantage... track walk the sand around the building with your skid steer. It will firm up & you will be able to use your other equipment. I'm a heavy equipment operator and figured I would pass on that little tip!!!
Wow! I just found your channel and I am really enjoying it! I used to help my Father in Law with building houses and I loved the framing part of it. So rewarding. Excellent job on your editing and quality of videos, from the great shots, angles, and drone footage, to your narration. Keep it up Kyle, thanks.
"Racking" was the word you were looking for when you were up on top of the end wall/first truss.
Best - Michael
Sorry you had to stop onsite work due to weather! BUT you being a real professional, you took the time to secure the building, which most builders don’t. They just hope, you don’t leave anything to chance. Time and effort very well spent on your teams part. I salute you sir!
Great video as always!
Bill Waldron waycross ga.
Great job I’ve been waiting on the newest videos please keep them coming great job
Great content! Loved the "you're kinda working against yourself there!". This series is just amazing!
Great video AGAIN. Was good to see you all are not perfect humans 😁. Keep up the fantastic work. Thank you.
You guys are bad ass, good work, my building goes up next week in Ohio
👍👍👍💖 BUILDING MOVES ANY EVEN THE CONCRETE
cool job
I know the chances of you seeing this is slim to none, but when you are trying to align all of the trusses to be even, what if you screwed the board like you normally do, but instead of manhandling them you use a piece of equipment and push against the screwed board? I love ALL of your videos. Keep up the awesome work. You guys truly have a good thing together and I wish you all nothing but the best!!!!!!
While you're rained out, could you consider doing a video on how to read one of the drawings supplied to you from your truss manufacturer? I've worked with all kinds of prints (grading, general construction layout, storm drain, irrigation, sewer, water, GD&T for automotive parts, machined parts, housing foundation) but I don't think I have ever seen a roofing/truss print. It would be something new for me.
They are one of the simplest to read but would make for a good short video. Good idea.
Cool channel, always interesting to see construction from a different country - different methods. Francis, Worcestershire, UK
the only biggest difference in country standard is measurement system, other than that materials and products are pretty much the same for the most part, quality aside
I believe you said use machinery whenever possible just take the Tele handler and extend it against the board you’re hitting and you’ll be able to shift the whole stack without swing in the B M F H.
That is true... it’s not that easy though... it would be a constant back and forth trying to straighten them out... I’ve tried... but maybe with two machines on each end
I was quick to say something. Sorry,...Because I just got done watching you with the Tele handler left the cornerpost and I was laughing inside thinking you just said “ use a piece of equipment when ever possible .LOL it’s all good.
I read another comment/reply using a angle iron , you could screw a piece of steel... (brick lentil) with GRK RSS rugged structural screws to straighten a stack and your skid steer to push. I just want to say thank you for all the info and knowledge you’re putting out there.
"Goes so quick it's almost sad". I've said that myself before. Amazing precision. I said I'd never SUBSCRIBE anyone, but you guys have earned my respect, so here I go! Not sure how there can be any thumbs down. Probably inferior competition.
If you screwed the board at the bottom you could've pushed them with the back section of the forks on the skidsteer. Those are some big floppy trusses it's crazy just how strong they are.
Nice work, love your videos mate! Feel free to come to Australia and build me a shed haha.
We line the longer ones. 👍
Ya'll should of use the telehandler, just turn the forks down and push on one end so the trusses perfectly aligned
Yes !!!
I thought for sure Kyle was going to do that when he asked to try.
In just the previous video Kyle said “Let the machine do the work” 😄🤦🏻♂️
Interesting thing here is we’ve done it with machinery.... it’s a huge pain going from end to end and usually we just level up 5-6 at a time. But not a bad idea. I should try it again.
Like you mentioned in your video, I'm paraphrasing of course, the truss shop isn't a Boeing factory. Laying out every 4-6 worked out just fine. Great job as always. Your background music a great too.
Just take a piece of scrap plywood and trace the uneven edge of the lumber pile... cut that out and make a jig you can hang over the pile at each purlin mark on the top truss. It will take a few minutes to cut the jug but you can mark the whole pile at once.
beautiful work
I like your channel it's awesome I'm a framer by trade I'm always dealing with issue trusses are always off the funny thing about them is they go by the 16/ of an inch lol
12:30 Overkill? There is not such thing! Safety above all. You have a saying over there in America that i like: Better safe than sorry! Greetings from Greece!
Lol, I was just typing a question about the low pitch and snow loads when the I heard you talking in the background of the video that was still playing about that exact issue.
In truss we trust.
Fantastic work. Enjoyed watching several videos. Do you travel to Georgia for installations? Thanks
Another great video, now I have to know how to get a green Martinez hammer.
Get it Stumpenhorse!
Yo Kyle use your machines. Telle handler would push that load all day??!! Gravel on the outside is missing = stuck under load ??!!
Your teamwork is awesome !!
Great Video once again! Question, do you ever put a second story room within the trusses themselves lets say for storage or an office?
@15:13... the word you're looking for would be lateral..... The board gives it lateral rigidity/strength... ☺
Watching you do such good work is really cutting into me doing any work!☹️
safety better. and still smart work.
Only thing I could think of when you were swinging that sledge for the fences is if you missed it would have double your worker over when you hit him in the nuts with it. LOL... I'm rolling right now too btw. ;-0
Time for some much needed attention to that trailer.
lol not my trailer...but yes it could use some work
I'm not qualified to give you any advice, however, you should try a brad point bit when pre drilling your lumber. It should cut your drilling time in half as it not only cuts better, it clears the chips faster as well. Love the videos and the education!
Kyle, curious how you set and attach your end trusses especially at first. I think i have it figured out but if you havent already done some video on this it might be of interest for some. Also maybe just a little more detail on the in between truss connections too. I think you have and are doing an indescribable service to the folks like me who are using your videos as an instruction manual. Thank you.
Love your videos, curious if you haul your equipment from site to site yourself or if you hire it out
Friendly service announcement from a crane guy. 00:12:20 Yes you have ample rating slings in the video , but don’t use that basket rating unless you are lifting a cylinder 25times bigger than the diameter of the sling itself. In this case 12.5 pipe or bigger . That’s how they get that rating and Anytime you introduce a kink in the sling it reduces the capacity. Ps. The bucket trick is great thanks for the idea!
Здорово.🤘👍
You should invest in a pile strait-n-er. We couldn't live without them here in Colorado. You can find them where they sell Sky Hooks and muffler bearing oil.
I've always had such a huge interest in this kind of thing. I love all of your build series, they are very well put together and informative. I can't wait to go to college and learn about this kind of stuff. One question though, if you could give someone that wants to get into the business one piece of advice what would it be?
Work in the rain.
When I mark big trusses we just mark them all individually on the ground only takes a few mins.. I've wasted a lot of time trying to get them all straight....cheers
I argue this topic all the time I swear and tend to agree with you
I was thinking you could if nudged them straight with the telehandler, but then u said they were off so yeah individually would of been the best way.
looking at future problems with the quicksand exterior whats the plan for getting the steel siding on?? does the excavator have swamp mats to move around the sides or can he do any compaction for the lift?
When laying out your trusses to Premark your purlin locations, do you line them up from the tails? Or line the center peak up? Or what is your though process since they are made exactly the same
Love your videos . Thanks . Is that a 2x4 purlin 8ft span?
If so , is that code?
What type of chains do you recommend for this project (weight load and what do you use for tensioner for the chains ?
Can you show the detail of how the truss is connected to the vertical post? Thanks
wood hacker he just sets it in between the plys of the verticals columns and nails it in. :)
Hello Kyle. Im wondering about the truss to column connection. With milled or plained column boards, does it make the pocket for the truss a little too small for the not milled truss wood or is it not enough to make the top of the outer column boards spread apart making it hard to pull them back together for the bolted connection?
When you get to the roof steel can you show how you account for the offset in the purlins when you pre punch?
dmckbtrs we don’t punch roof steel
Only the side steel then? That explains it :) I've seen the offset purlins in previous videos and couldn't figure out how you dealt with it. If you don't how do you put the screws in the right place? What do you do if you put a screw in and don't hit wood? I know many who watch aren't pros so some coverage of dealing with little mistakes or problems like that might be good. Great work - I enjoy watching! I've definitely used some of your tips and tricks in my own projects.
I love the background scenery. Where in the US is this?
Nice work. The large trusses were built in a factory and delivered as an oversized load finished? That would make an interesting video next time you do a job like this.
Michael Novak yes rolled off easy
When you put the 2x12 up and were looking for the word, it is called lateral movement
Awesome work! But I do have a question. If going to all that trouble for a footer and stem wall why not go with a steel building? Especially for that size of building I bet the cost would be almost the same and not as much work.
On marking the trusses, can't you make a story string from measurements on the first truss and then have a loop in the string and a nail in the center of each additional truss and use the story string for marking the rest?
user990077 sounds like a great idea
Sorry string will stretch , tape measure best ?
Putting in the nails, wondering if angle them one way and the other side angle opposite, would that be more secure, stronger, or does it not matter?
Enjoy your videos ! Do you use a design software ? if so , mind sharing
You've done so many of these buildings and you have it down to a science. can I ask ,how you price a job?
Stand a board up like you did at the end of the trusses on the ground and push with the track loader.
Building porn I absolute love what you guys are doing such a pleasure to watch , I live in the uk running / managing a commercial building maintenance company but what you do is the dream !
Hi, love what you guys do! But over here in the UK we use Steel for these types of buildings! What is the benefits of using timber in such large buildings! Would like to add that your buildings look amazing!
My guess is cost and technical skills to assemble. Also land is cheaper here so we can build more bigger buildings and maybe don't put as much $$ into each one
dude we would have been stuck stick framing and crawling all over that building. I wish i framed with you with all that heavy equipment.
how many hours do you guys work a week/day? love the videos keep em coming
You've mentioned the Builder's Helper app a couple of times, but I haven't been able to find that on the app store. Any idea where it can be found?
cool
Hey could you do video about what Hammer 🔨
When your purlins stagger, doesn’t that prevent a straight line of screws across roof? If so how do you pre mark steel ?
wondered that myself
Same here
Great question
It does but, Im sure the idea is that it cant be seen from the ground enough to notice or to be an issue.
The purlins are straight it's the joints that are stagger not the board
At what length single ply truss would you say you have to start using a stiffener board?
usually after 60'
I am curious what the difference in cost between engineered steel and post frame when a structure gets this size
every time I have bid against steel, its not close until that 90-100 wide mark. Not sure what it's like in other areas, but that's my experience
@@RRBuildings I didn't think it would be that large, thanks for the info
