There are two common types of tie that connect opposite sides of a triangular roof. What is the name of the longer board positioned in the bottom third of the roof structure?
Answer Rafter Ties
The rafter tie connects the two sides of the roof and is positioned lower than the collar tie. The rafter tie's purpose is to prevent pressure from the weight of the roof from pushing the roof outward and flattening the roof.
