A lot to respond to in that post, thanks for all the info. The structure is a little weird. It was originally plans for a smaller shed that I expanded to a larger 16x22 structure. It was permitted and inspected. I had the higher collar ties at one point. The inspector didn't like the...

Thanks! The many quote from that article for others is... If you want to use just one type of insulation in unvented rafter bays, you are limited to spray polyurethane foam. Another possibility, of course, is to build your roof with structural insulated panels (SIPs). The code restrictions on...
