Hey! I was at a construction site with a roof that is 17 meters long and 7 meters from the eave to the ridge, so it's not a small roof. None of these trusses have an underarm (I think that's what it's called, I drew a picture).
Now, I have a roof that is 4 meters long and 6 meters from the eave to the ridge. My trusses also do not have an underarm. Only supports at the ends. Is this sustainable?
I've been in contact with some builders who say you absolutely need an underarm. However, I contacted a truss factory and they said it's not something they typically do, but it's not a problem. Who the hell should I listen to?
Picture 2 shows what the truss looks like.

Hello Bananaosten,
you might need to be a bit clearer.
Picture one: It exists, doesn't exist: WHAT is it that exists or doesn't exist. Hard to understand.
Picture two: Are the standing supports hanging in the air? Are they not standing on anything?
How old is the house? What do you mean by the roof being four meters long?
Maybe you can draw up the truss properly, with dimensions, and how the support looks.
