hi am planning on budling my own garage. 28x32x12. so if my wall are 12 ft tall and i want to add 2 more feet im thinking i can get scissors trusses. the over all pitch i want 5/12 so it matches my house you think scissors trusses can offer a 2 ft more I don't want to get ripped off by someone telling me its not possible unless i pay more. thank you. fyi i just learn today watching your video on how to calculate the pitch of roof. just not sure how to on scissors trusses.
Ask for the truss schematic and you can find the pitch on the bottom cord. At 14 ft from wall to center I think you can get 2 feet easy of extra height
Looking into the future, I thought it may be good to build a roof Solar ready. That would be a south roof thats at a 41° angle for Ohio and Indiana. Unfortunately there are code restrictions on height.
We’re building a pole barn in June. What would you recommend for wall height on a 30X40, and we’re thinking of 10’ roll up doors. Would a 10’ wall height work? Thnx
if it's a true "roll up" door you can keep about the barn about 10 feet. It's cheaper to build up than out, so go 12' tall if you need. Overhead doors need 2' of clearance. So, 10' tall overhead doors need a 12' tall building.

Hhmmm... 41 degree is fairly steep. Maybe just shorten the wall height?

Thank you!♥
You’re welcome
that attic truss has no more strength thana rafter and joists..i bet it wont get built that way...i mean the truss wont get built that way.
