Garage Build Advice

[boyack123]

Would appreciate advice on a garage build I am about to begin. Bldg. will be 24 x 24 standard 4/12 gable roof, with a slab to ceiling height of 9.5'. As an after thought, I would like to add a patio roof on slope side of garage . I would like to run 2 x 6 birds mouthed rafters nailed to top plate and truss out 7' to a post/ beam support. I cannot find any examples on doing it this way all I can find is the ledger board- on- wall method which would would bring ceiling height too low for my liking. (I would like to keep same pitch on patio roof.).
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

You're going to have to draw this up, not for my sake but so you can see how the roofing and the joists are going to interact. As I see it in my mind every single joist is a penetration thru the roof. In my thinking that's a bad idea.

In my opinion, your life would be far less complicated long-term if you used the horizontal ledger under the roof edge, attached back to the stud wall, and use a gutter to steer away the majority of the backsplash.

If I understand you right, you are just going to use joists to continue the roof slope to create the patio roof?

Nothing wrong with that. You can do it just the way you described it. It is going to be a lot of cutting. In the end you could just go that extra width and make it all shop. Add a lean to at a later date. That would make the trusses longer and no need for the framing you are talking about.

sounds like if you went up another foot with the walls, you could just use a 20' rafter on that side, 2 posts and a beam to support it. Draw it and see how it looks, not a bad idea to go up in height anyway.
