"..Built the garage this spring and it turned out fantastic. Building codes here are rather strict, but the inspector did not find a single flaw in design or construction. I love the design and my new shop/garage."  -Gerald M.

Roof Trusses For Garages


by Jay Behm -

Roof trusses  are the construction industry standard for roof structures in conventional light wood frame construction when spans exceed about 18 ft. Lesser spans can be framed with standard lumber sizes and sized  by referencing the building code load/span tables. Because the longer spans require larger lumber in greater lengths it becomes more cost effective to use manufactured trusses to make the span. The nice thing about trusses is that they are engineered in their manufacture. They are delivered to you building site, often lifted and stacked on the top of your walls, ready to install.

I've complied a list of companies in the truss fabrication business which may be helpful to review. If you are close enough to their plant they may be a supplier for you. But if you are getting materials from a building materials supplier or lumberyard they will likely have at least one truss fabricator they like to use and will order the trusses for you. You can also buy directly from some truss fabricators.

Whether you buy direct or through a supplier be sure to verify the required span, slope, attic (if applicable),overhangs, required loads and/or any other relevant data. In my experience, the people at truss plants are quite helpful and really know their business.

Hi Jay -
Attached is a photo of my garage (#856-1), which turned out great.  The plans were thorough and made approval in my city and county (which has a strict set of design standards) much easier....Thank you.... M. C., OH

 

Jay, I meant to tell you much earlier what a great value your plans are. This garage was constructed late fall of '09. I was at the house the other day and it happened to be one of those perfect coastal New England summer days. The garage looked great. .........Thank you, J.W.
 

Jay, your plan was right on the money.  I was able to get an accurate quote and was able to check up on the contractor to make sure it was being built by the specs.  The low cost spent on the plan made whole project go smoother.  No potential disagreements.  Every time there was a question I would just say, “build it just like the plan says”  Thanks again !
