I'm going to build a 24x24 Pole Barn with 10' roof. Then I will add on two side sheds but this will be latter. This will all be open with just the roof. I live in South Arkansas and the most snow I have ever seen has been 8 inches on the ground. I think my ridge board will be 2x10 but what do you guys think I will need to go with for rafters and the boards that will hold up the other end of rafters where the birdmouth will be cut. I'm going to but use 5x5 as post on 8' centers. And how far apart will the rafters need to be? I would like to go 2' centers but that may not be possible.
Here is what I think
Ridge Board 2x10's
Rafters 2x6's on 2' centers
Boards nailed to 5x5 to hold up other end of rafters 2x10's
Any suggestions. Thanks Rick
