So if you take the top of your right triangle to be the gusset depth that you require, then use a 12 degree angle at the bottom, you should be able to figure out the size of gusset board. If you can't figure it out, tell me how deep your gusset will be and I'll punch the calculator for you. -Bob Cunningham IP: Logged
