Barn Shed Trusses
Does anyone know a formula or an easier way to figure out the angles on a barn loft truss?
I am building a shed with a barn roof on it so I can have plenty of head room for a second floor loft. I'm just not sure how to figure the angles on the trusses. I know that the size and height of the shed make a difference. Anyone have any experience?
I have built a green house that basically is a barn roof. I used 4 pieces of 2x4s 6 feet long [long point to long point] Cut on a 22 1/2 on each end of each board, with long points on same side, put those together to make a truss. It gave me a "barn roof" 8 ft high and 16 ft wide [outside measurements] I set this on a knee wall to raise it 3 feet to make my over all height 11 ft. That sounds similar to what you are doing. Rather than doing a drawing I took my miter saw and cut pieces to 1 inch equal one foot and played with that until I liked the size and then built it.
