Nice! But I have to ask you about the 8 foot spacing on the trusses. I’ve never seen that before. I presume that you will be adding purlins too, but what size will they be? Any snow loading requirements where you are? This spacing really worries me Mike. I don’t doubt your sons’ abilities, but would you explain the reasoning behind this? I don’t design structures out of wood, so I am trying to get a better understanding of different techniques.
