I need tips on how to build this glulam gable with a good approach.
It consists of 2 glulam posts on each side, 115x115. Then there are 2 large 115x270 glulam beams with a 30-degree slope.
Then a long horizontal and a vertical in the middle. Everything should be held together with large special brackets and bolts.
On each side, 12mm K-plywood should be screwed in first. Planned panels are shown in different colors on the left side and their placement. It will be the same on the right side.
I'm considering assembling everything while it's lying down and then raising the entire wall in one piece.
I must place everything on trestles to be able to screw from underneath and then the panels from above.
The K-plywood must go on first, as the long brackets will then go on top and hold the different parts together.
How would you do it?

Why can't the horizontal piece extend all the way to the top plate?
Is the wall supposed to be 944 mm thick?
Seems like a somewhat messy construction.
Have you calculated if 115 x 270 is sufficient for the higher legs?
Have you considered a standard W-truss, which offers very high load-bearing capacity thanks to the truss effect.

We have an engineer who calculated this. The wall is not 944mm thick; that is the width. With the screwed k-plywood, each wall side becomes very stable and resembles a single large pillar. A large sliding door will be in the middle and above it, 2 triangular windows.
