I'm debating on the trusses and saw this in my book "Barns, Sheds and Out Buildings". One of those how-to books.
Anyway, I'm sitting here thinking about the steel trusses and not having much luck finding any around Texas. So I went to figure out how much it would cost to build wooden W trusses at home depot last night. With a 2x6 rafter it was fairly reasonable.
I saw this in my book and wonder if I use a center ridge girts like in the picture, would this hold up with a 30' wide barn?
Do any of you have a barn constructed like this?
