Hello!
I'm currently calculating for a garage, but I find it a bit too expensive with the current construction.
At present, I have a glulam beam on the ridge in the sketch and possibly Kerto beams supporting the roof.
This is a very costly solution, and I'm wondering if it can be replaced with a scissors truss. It seems you don't get the same space inside the garage, but if this solution is cheaper, then one has to live with it.
What would a scissors truss cost (roughly) with a span of 8 m and an external roof pitch of 27 degrees? Internally, I would like to have as steep a pitch as possible. Snow load zone 2.5 (live in Falköping), tile roof, roof decking, insulation, and internal cladding.
If you have other ideas or thoughts, please feel free to write.

do you need kerto? Both my friend and I are building our residential houses with ridge beams, I have a ridge beam with a 7.3 m span and he has three beams with a 10 m span. Neither of us has kerto for the purlins, just regular construction timber. I have 30 degrees and he has 38 snow zone 2.0.
