I didn't enplane it very good at all, sorry
Tie a piece of 3/8" cable with a eye bolt (3/8') perpendicular to the 2x10. Youll need 2 of each. if your building is say 24 ft from gable to barn ,an you have a cross tie at 12 ft, what I am suggesting is put another one at 6ft. an another one 18ft.what your building will try to do with a heavy snow load is push the walls out the cables will stop this.
Hope this helps

The rafter design places load vertically on to the beams. The bird mouth notch at the bottom of the rafters would prevent anything from spreading at all. If the walls were to cave in they would have to go in not out.
Total roof area covers 24 x 24 the beams are 22 feet at the outside and are triple 2x12s full length to the building sitting on a steel frame welded to screw piles 15 feet into the ground. Post are all heave wall 4x4 sructral steel and bracing is all 2" sqaure tubing. Beams are all bolted into saddles at the top of the posts.
