Hi, I'm building a 32 x 44 with 8/12 pitch. I'm limited to 10'-8" walls. I may be able to push them a little higher but not above 11'. I am planning for two 10' x 10 doors out front on one of the 32' walls. I was planning to use 16 feet of scissor truss in the back end and rest attic trusses...

Why not??
