| 1. | Lumber - Selectable by Species / Treatment / Grade of lumber |
| ➢ | Base/Bottom Plate: The lumber at the foot of the wall, used for attaching studs. |
| ➢ | Top Plate: The lumber at the head of the wall, used for attaching studs. |
| ➢ | Stud/Win-Dr Framing: Boards that run vertically from the foundation up. They are the primary structure of the walls, and are used to support and secure doors and windows. |
| ➢ | Small Header: The head of a small entryway. This provides overhead support for doorways made for the passage of a person. |
| ➢ | Large Header: The head of a large entryway. This provides overhead support for doorways made for the passage of vehicles and other objects that would not fit through a smaller door. |
| ➢ | Joist/Collar Beam: A horizontal timber which ties rafters together at a height above the wall plate, i.e., above the level of a tie beam. |
| ➢ | Rafter: Provide platform for roofing materials, main components of roof. |
| ➢ | Ridge Board: A beam at the upper ends of the rafters, below the ridge of a roof. |
| ➢ | Gable End Framing: Most often used directly above the non-truss-bearing end walls of a building, and save the contractor the time and expense of field framing the end wall to match the roof slope. |
| ➢ | Ladder/Gbl Overhang: The outer framing under the overhanging roof deck sheathing is formed by two long parallel 2x4's or 2x6's that are connected together laterally by short blocks, like the rungs of a ladder. |
| ➢ | King Post: Wood post that runs from a joist to a rafter. Provides extra support for roof loads. |
| ➢ | Fly/Barge Rafter: The rafter at the gable end that is attached to the roof sheathing above and the lookout blocks. |
| ➢ | Sub Fascia: Boards that help compensate for inconsistencies in rafter length, and ensures that the fascia will be straight across. It also provides a continuous nailing surface for the fascia. |
| 2. | Bracing - Selectable by type of Bracing |
| 3. | Other Materials - Selectable by Brand |
| ➢ | Rafter / Truss to Wall Connection |
| ➢ | Ridge to Rafter Connection |
