I'm working on trying to get the rafters right for two octagonal buildings connected by a straight building.

Illustration of roof truss design for two connected octagonal structures with measurements and blue roofs.

The roof slope on the octagons is 22.5 degrees. The straight section is ~24 degrees on the front side and 16.4 on the back. The rafter lengths are stated in the image.
The area of each "slice" is 2 m2.

The idea is to have a sedum roof, so the weight is 50 kg/m2 and I live in snow zone 1.5.

I have checked how the rafters look on gazebos, but they only have light roofs and no bottom chord or anything else. So, it didn’t feel very relevant.

If I could do anything, I would want a flat roof on the left octagon and open up to the peak in the straight section and the right octagon.

I've found an octagonal top fitting from a blacksmith, anyway, http://www.lovhults.com/toppbeslag.shtml

Some more images.

Just put a bottom chord? A version of a W-rafter?
Is there anyone who knows their rafters and can give some good advice? :)
 
Oh how fun, it's my father who owns that company.

Snow zone 1.5 = 120kg per sqm.

Are you going to have insulation and interior cladding on the roof?
 
Haha, the world is quite small!

It will become isolated and panel in the ceiling.
 
No one has any good ideas? :)
