I am slowly getting some shed extensions done, the extension will add another 18m X ~8m onto the existing shed... I hope to eventually close all this portion in and concrete the floor, but that is a long time goal at this point, I have to get the roof finished first...
I started several years ago making the trusses which are my own design and were originally for a stand alone shed, which then I decided to just extend the current shed.
The trusses are 8m long and made out of 2" pipe with 3/4" pipe for the support bars (or whatever they are called). The support bars were supposed to be 1/2" pipe but an planning stuff up made them 3/4.. The trusses should be of very very ample strength. The gable is 10 degrees.
Pictures are as follows and are clickable thumbs.
First and second are the trusses. third picture is the bit that gets welded onto the existing shed leg to bolt the truss onto... I have not yet made the leg for the other end.. it will be made out of 3" pipe..
