Good Afternoon.
In a couple of weeks, I am going to start at 38X48 garage shop. I am going to use pole barn const.
The wall pose no problem.
However the roof trusses pose a huge problem. I can't use pre manfactured trusses (no access for the semi to deliver) to get a clear span across the entire 38' I am goind to use a 4/12 pitch and will need to make the trusses on site using 2X4 stock lumber.
Now my question for those of you who have done something like this. What would the procedure be for nailing or screwing the web bracing to give me a clear span of 38' I would have to use plywood for the gussets for end to end joining of the shorter 2X stock.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
