Hi all: The picture below shows our garage plan. 14' walls, vaulted ceiling with a 6:12 pitch interior. Move out the cars, play basketball. Ideally, we would like a single row of lights down the center that could light up the place. The peak is at just about 20'. Putting a single row there...

Hi all; This forum has had many discussions on steel web framing, such as Adams Truss, Perka, and Web Steel. The only northern company I can find that that does these trusses is Henry Building Systems in Minnesota. But I've heard nothing about them on any discussion board. According to their...

Hi all: First off, I want to thank you all who share your building stories. It is immensely helpful and encouraging. I've been lurking here for a while and now I'm coming to you all for your wisdom. I'm thinking of a 40 x 60 x 12 barn/garage ("barrage"), big enough for a garage, workshop, and...
