Cantilevered Floor Truss
Does anyone know if engineered floor trusses allowed to be cantilevered as shown in the photo. I'm having a hard time finding info about installation guidelines. The trusses are open web, not I-joists.

Thanks,

Eric

Re: Cantilevered Floor Truss
Probably ... but only for those designed to be cantilevered, not ones engineered to be end bearing.

You would need to have the truss engineering to look at to see where the bearing is. Many newer ones I've been seeing are now being marked with tags which show where the bearing points are if other than just end bearing.
