Hello! I need some help with ideas regarding truss construction for this. The old garage is 9 meters and consists of a Ytong frame, and that part has a Ytong roof, but it's the wooden roof that they have covered with felt. Now I have cast a new slab on which I will build a new garage; it is 5 meters wide and 7 meters deep. The walls will be framed with 120x45 and will be 2400 high. The old garage is 230 at the outer edge, so I will build a "small wall" on that side to get the same height. I plan to build the trusses from loose timber as pre-made ones for this build would be too expensive, the idea is to use 220x45 in the "bottom chord" in the new garage + 195x45 in the top chord, and then extend it down onto the "old" roof. Am I completely off track? Then I plan to lay entire sheets of tp20 + fabric and studs (not tongue and groove).
Maybe build a roof over the whole thing but along the row instead? It might look nice with a dormer even and it will create good storage up there.
Or do you install snow guards?
Hello! I understand I expressed myself incorrectly: I want to build a completely new roof over everything, BUT in the same direction as the other one. The idea was a bit about what dimensions I would need to use? The tricky part is that the new garage to the house has a width of 5 meters, and that "section" will be self-supporting. However, on the "old" garage, you can essentially use the entire roof as support for the roof truss.
