How can I deal with this - Multiple trusses


Recommended Posts

Slaps head because it just completely passed me by.  Piddle poor design, but done now, how to make the best of it.

 

3 trusses side by side bolted together in various places as per. Best way to deal with stopping draughts on these.  I'm thinking about taping the bottom and squeezing expanding wood glue into the cracks to try then tape over the top.  Any other thoughts?

I wrapped my sistered 2x8's with spare breathable building wrap and foil tape. I had experience with a whistle/drone noise when a draught was passing through the gap in a structure before so wanted to address it early on.
