Wall in garage, load-bearing?

[kålroten]

Hi.

Going to tear down the wall in the garage. 70s house with garage. Used to be a workshop area + garage but want to open it up to one large space.

Opened up the wall as per picture. Removed two vertical studs in the middle.

Above the wall, there is drywall.

The garage roof is flat with a slight slope.

Opened up the roof from the inside and filmed. Studs run along the wall. In the picture, you can see a stud. The wall is placed under it. See picture.

Feels more like a room divider than something load-bearing, but I could be wrong. What do you think?

Can't be determined just from the pictures.
How are the roof trusses positioned, and where is their load supported?

Can you see it in the video? The beams that you see at the beginning of the film run parallel to the wall that is to be demolished.

If the roof trusses rest on the exterior walls (and the gate is on the gable end) then that doesn't look like a load-bearing wall I would say (it's the wall by B15 you mean?).

Yes, exactly! It doesn't feel load-bearing but maybe stabilizing.

What kind of trusses do you have and in which direction do they run?
