Connecting Timber Trusses to Top Plates: Multi-Grips & Pryda SpeedTruss
When connecting timber trusses to top plates, a common method is using multi-grips fixed with nails, but this approach relies heavily on site workmanship and can be time consuming. A better alternative is the Pryda SpeedTruss system, which uses factory installed screw tie downs designed to transfer uplift loads efficiently, reduce on-site errors, and simplify certification. For structural engineers, SpeedTruss provides greater consistency, compliance with Australian Standards, and confidence that the design intent is achieved on site.
