I planned on talking to mc coys building supply or another local building supply once i get closer to needing them. Hm dpot sells lvls, but id trust a fish before trusting them. I was hopping to already have the slab poured, but weather and my 14/14 work schedule have put the slab pour behind...

That is kind of what im thinking/inquiring about. My posts will be true 6x6s. I could sandwich enough to create a solid header beam to fit between the 2 12’ door posts, secure the beam to the ext girts that would span 20’. It would allow the truss to be secured to the beam. The inner lvls...

Thanks. I cant even figure out how to edit, using my phone.

LONG POST, trying to provide as much detailed info as possible. Building a 40x50 shop with 2 commercial garage doors, 1 10x10 and 1 12x14 on the side wall. I looked in the up codes and ibc online, but couldnt find anything dealing with post frame construction. Will be a post frame build, using...
