There must be a wedge, otherwise the pressure in the high beam will be too high. A fork anchor is a good fitting for attaching rafters. If you are going to attach the rafters before you have built the attic floor, you can first place them with the ridge downwards and then swing them vertically.
Exactly! nice.J justusandersson said:
A wedge that you attach with flat iron to the rafter and angle iron to the wall plate? That should hold nicely.
Or maybe angle brackets aren't needed? like this i.e.J justusandersson said:

Most people would probably use long screws to attach the wedge, but hole plates also work well. Fork anchors are best as they secure against lifting forces.
