F4 V plates connect to roofThe F4 is a 5 spoke "fan plate". Fan plates are used to connect the bottom tie beam of a truss to two struts and a king post. The F4 has 4" wide spokes along the tie beam and 3" wide spokes on the king post and struts. Struts radiate out at 45 angles. 3 16" steel is a good choice for purely decorative plates. 1 4" is better for applications that need structural support.
