I am building a 12 by 8 shed... The actual shed will be 12 by 80 with a small porch on the front.
What I have been struggling with is the roof truss' Can anyone provide some advice on the roof truss'?
Since I have will have an overhang in the front of 19 inches (the framing is actually 8 foot 3 inches) I have been unable to find any examples for the truss' I would like to have some storage space above...
I thought I could build the outside truss' as a complete triangle and the middle 2 without the bottom 2 by... (?)
Tonight, I cut 2 2x4's @ a 26.5 angle and matched them together.. I then took another 2x4 which was cut to 9 foot 3 inches (1 foot overhang on the back) and determined where I should cut the other 2 2x4's..
I am an experienced diy'er but have never worked on a roof before
I plan on building the walls @ 7 foot high... Any advise would be greatly appreciated!!!
Thanks!!!
Fred
