• Bottom chord bearing – trusses can sit on a wall, or in a floor truss hanger.
• Top Chord bearing – When the bearing is raised under the top chord, the end can be built with or without
an end vertical, and with or without an additional slider for extra strength.
• Mid-Height bearing – When the bearing is raised between the top chord height and the bottom chord
elevation, the end will use either a solid 4x block of wood, or multiple 4x2 verticals at the heel. It can also
be built with or without an end vertical, and with or without an additional slider for extra strength.
