I'm going to build a garage and to get a higher ceiling height inside, I've planned for scissor trusses, at least in half of the garage.
But in the latest Husdrömmar, I saw that they used a type of truss that I haven't seen before.
What are these called and where can one find more information about sizing, etc.?
I thought they might be interesting because you get the same slope on the inner ceiling as the outer roof.
Although, they do look quite heavy compared to scissor trusses

I think it's not really a truss (the closest would be a scissors truss). It's more of a beam. Were there load points on the framework only or was there something under the ridge?
 
No, nothing in the ridge. There was a masonry chimney going through the ridge, so nothing could have been added later either. Now I think they said that the width of the room was 4.5 m. I need 7 m, so it will probably be a very cumbersome beam...

The roof truss will be like a scissor truss with clad sides (screw plywood on the sides), just a slightly higher self-weight.

could be ryggåstakstol but I seem to remember though they use balk.

I think the idea is to put a surface layer on the truss legs, which means you fill the sides with insulation.
