- Building attic style trusses for the garage / shop project. Diy homemade attic truss rafter build for a barndominium, pole barn, garage, shop, shed or any outbuilding really. Sometimes it's best to build it yourself. I used plywood gussets, PL glue, and ring shank twist nails. It was a lot of work and a big undertaking for me but when I was quoted around 12k for trusses I did the math and saved about 5k total by doing it myself. A wise man once told me when facing a difficult huge project, the way to eat a elephant is one bite at a time. So that's how I tackled this was doing the knowns and figuring out the unknowns as I went. It helped that I built a lot of trusses with my dad back in the day but I had never done one this big and heavy being a attic truss.

That was a well thought out truss design and explanation of the build process. Well done 👍
Thank you! I appreciate the input.
what a fantastic video! I'm building my house, myself, and was just wondering how i was going to do my trusses. Now I know! THANKYOU!
Thank you! This is the hardest part in a way. Assembly is pretty straightforward but I’ll be going over that process in the next video. Good luck with yours! 👍
Wow, what a fantastic video! I think maybe you are a born educator. The depth and detail that you provide are so instructive and easy to understand. Well done, and thank you.
Thank you so much! I really appreciate you letting me know. I’m glad if it was helpful.
I know that the truss should be built to support at least 30 lbs per square foot on the floor (or 40psf for living space) and the snow load on the roof, in addition to the dead load of the structure's material.
I am wondering how to calculate the load on each connection point, of top and bottom chord members and web braces.
How did you calculate how many nails are needed to resist the compression and shear forces?
How do you know the plywood has enougn strength to carry the load?
Can you help me with these calculations?
I need a basic carpentry class, so I can understand more.
That would always be helpful. There’s always more to learn.
You are an incredible teacher! This is by far one of the best videos on construction and I have watched hundreds. Thank you so much for sharing! You mentioned that the usable space was 14 ft, is that your choice or was that determined by the requirements for loads, etc. Are you in a region with lots of snowfall?
Thank you so much, Nicole! I appreciate that. That was mostly determined by the width of the building that I went with, roof pitch and truss design. Yes I get lots of snow so that affects the design a lot too.
You are most welcome! I just discovered your channel and learned sooo much! If your width was 30' than would you increase your usable space to 16'? We had an engineer design some for us and he is only allowing for 10'? Our roof is 6:12 and we do get snow but not as much as you do.
Awesome glad to hear. Yes, so my current width is 32’ so I would probably have to increase to at least 36, to get it to 16’ in the attic space. That’s just a guess but especially if you’re going a lower pitch roof as well.
@@SmartEasyDIYer Thank you!
Nice and organized thanks
Thank you I appreciate it!
