Hi, have been looking but haven't found anything reasonable.
The Situation: Snow zone: 2.5, I'm about to build a garage, it will be a concrete slab measuring 6*8m.
On the short side, there will be a two-part door with a total width of 2.5m, possibly a door on one of the long sides, the ceiling height or rather the height of the wall will be 3.5m, so that it's reasonably easy to lift the car.
The walls will be built on glecca blocks so they don't rot after "100 years."
Questions:
Which metal roof with insulation is cheapest and easiest to build without compromising strength, lean-to roof or gable roof?
^Sizing?^
What should the dimensions of the walls be since they will be load-bearing?
The studs in the walls and the trusses will be placed with a spacing of 1200mm, what do you think about placing them at a distance of 1500mm to save a few bucks that make a difference?
Can't think of much more right now, thanks in advance!

Hello and welcome to the Byggahus forum!
The choice of roof shape is usually a matter of taste, but since you live in snow zone 2.5, I would go for a gable roof with a steep pitch. Preferably 45 degrees. This results in being able to expect lower snow loads and thereby use lighter timber. One can't say much about the dimensions of the joists, etc., until you have decided on the roof shape. A spacing of 1200 mm is standard for trusses, but the wall studs should be placed at 600 mm intervals. You don't actually save money by increasing the spacing. It only leads to larger dimensions for the other materials. Additionally, much building material is adapted to standard widths, such as boards and insulation. The most money is saved by 1) Limiting the size of the build, 2) Smart and efficient construction, and 3) Daring to choose some unusual materials.
