Planning to build a garage in the spring and have concluded to build two wall trusses with a 14-degree pitch. The contact surface on the top plate will be very small. 3940mm between supports, 45x220 cc600 rafters.
Is it enough to secure with just angle brackets + anchor screws?
Or should I split in a wedge and place it on the top plate?
Or should I cut the wall truss beveled at 14 degrees?

Wedges are probably the easiest, if you have a decent table saw you can cut them in about 5 minutes max. It might be a good idea to apply construction adhesive on the edges so they are firmly fixed and don't start sliding under heavier load.
