Wish I’d have seen this video last night. Drove 45 mins to menards to order 9 of these exact trusses. $565 and 5 day wait. Emailed this morning to cancel order. I’m guessing I’ll save around $450 (depending on restocking fee/refund) and have them built today. The sharing of your knowledge and details are very appreciated. Thank you!

The best demonstration and instructions for building trusses I have seen!

I'm an electrician , had my workshop built by Tuff Shed 20'x 30' feet , I decided to build an 8'x8' soundproof generator shed next to it, to back feed power to our home during power outages . I live in Florida and we typically lose power for one or two weeks after storms, and we lose power during thunderstorms also. Your videos are a great value to me and many others, thank you. Thinking of making a KZfaq video of my sound proof generator shed design and features.

Love your videos. I'll be building a workshop this summer so I'll study your methods. Thanks for sharing!

Do the gusset plates go on only 1 side?

Very informative Stan and another great video, looking forward to the next one. Stay Safe. Barry (ENG)

Subbed and liked. Thanks

great work. it reminded me of my building days when I lived in Canada. greetings from Brazil😅

Great video 👍

Good job!

Very nice and clear video! I'm building a chicken run and coop, 11 wide by 20 long, and the coop will make an ell at the far end of the run. I've built most of my 11 trusses, but I'm now ready to put the bracing on the joints. Two questions: 1. Whats the nice hand power nail(?) driver you are using to drive the nails? And what size nails? 2 or 2-1/2"? 2. You didn't brace both sides of the truss... should i brace both sides, or just one sude as your video seemed to indicate?

Nice, Simple Easy 👍

Do you need to attach them all to each other beside with the sheathing ?

This method is the easiest yet.

Do you prefer the palm nailer over a nail gun for this job or is there really no advantage of one over the other?

I'm building a shed currently and this is just what I was looking for. So you don't need to nail the truss all together? Just glue/nail the gussets to the top and you're good?

Is the top board of the rafters the 1/2 the length of the building including siding plus the length of overhang. I don’t know trying to build a pump house and can’t figure it out. Is this design different than a truss with a birdsmouth cut into rafters

These trusses are with an overhang. If I don't want an overhang, do I just cut the top chords to the edge of the bottom chord? I'm assuming as I am new to this.

Did you use 2x6? If so, why? Just for added strength?

I saw another video where he didn’t use the piece of wood on the bottom, he notched the 2x4’s instead. Not sure what the difference is, except less wood. Would love to know how it changes the math if you do it that way.

I must be a terrible woodworker, cus I didn't know about that specific 4/12 thing. I knew the technique but never learned the name or info on it

Whatcha gonna put in that shed?

Why is no bird mouth cut? I'm new to rafters.

You skipped the coloring of your parts from your thumbnail...... I'm hoping for a colorful shed!🤣
