Gambrel Barn. 32x48

Kind of similar to my trusses but different. Like I said mine used a 2x10s for the bottom cord (instead of a truss design) and 2x6s for the top chords.

Mine also had a 2' over-hang on each sidewall (2x10s go all the way thru from one fascia to the other) I also ended up with some additional bracing webs in the side triangles that go from part way up the lower topchord back to where the "internal wall studs" meet the bottom cord.

Like I said before I used white delta rib metal roofing as well as white metal fascias and soffits (on the underside of the 2' over-hangs)

Remember on one side I'll have a 8' lean-to accross the whole length.
How wide is your building? I was going to ask why they didn't use 2x12's for the bottom cord, but I'm pretty sure it's less expensive this way.
