Very rarely am I left speechless.....this could be it.
Call me skeptical, but I'd love to see the engineer's calculations for this design.

Could be there's little to no snow load because of his location, but I'm an engineer, and I agree... just eyeballing it, it looks... wimpy.

I am no engineer, but from the outside, that is a nice setup! I like the carport overhang.
Actually looks stronger than some "store bought" sheds I've seen installed.
There is half-moon steel shed (ie round top) that uses bunch of "trusses" (ie 16" OC) which are really just shaped round poles that later are skinned, once skeleton is done. A light storm of say 50 or 60 mph winds tore that thing to pieces in storm that went through Attica, KS a couple years ago.
Square tubing is awful stout once it's all welded together. Would be interested to see what all parts of country use this build method??

I'm curious too if it has engineered drawings. The truss design is peculiar. Triangles... or lack there of.
wikipediaIn architecture a truss is a structure comprising one or more triangular units constructed with straight members whose ends are connected at joints referred to as nodes. External forces and reactions to those forces are considered to act only at the nodes and result in forces in the members which are either tensile or compressive forces. Moments (torques) are explicitly excluded because, and only because, all the joints in a truss are treated as revolutes.
