Well, after six months I finally have a roof on my metal truss pole barn. First crew abandoned me after sitting the posts. Numerous calls and texts went unanswered. I found another crew building one near me and I went and asked if they would finish mine. They did after I purchased the rest of the needed
2x6 purlins and metal for the roof.
I finished the side that most of my rain comes from but want to close in the front gable end. I was reading where they say NOT to connect your gable end
framing to the truss. They said it should be connected to the purlins and not the truss. Not sure I understand that but don't want to do it wrong. I was wondering if anyone knows how to properly do this. I have searched the web and can't find any good info.
I plan to enclose the gable end from top to ground and have two sliding doors to help keep prying eyes out. lololol
Any advice is appreciated.
