HELP...Interior roof suggestion.

[BamaRocker]

I’m am about to break ground on new 32 x 50 garage, money in hand and talking with contractor.

I want a 18 x 32 room inside garage, coming up from the rear of the garage for a music space…

The front half of garage will be 32 x32.

Everything is getting a Hip Roof..10 foot walls.

My question is…

I might want a lift someday, so I would like a higher center point in main garage, so with a Hip roof am I better off going with Scissor truss or can a tray ceiling be built into center area of main floor space.


Thanks.

Standard scissor:

Camber truss:

A cambered truss will give you the flat cieling portion you desire. Truss company will design for span/loads/ect. you can specify the length of the flat portion.
In half of my garage I went with camber trusses that add 4' additional cieling hieght (for the purposes of a possible future lift). My increased hieght portion is 10' wide.

As long as you place the cambered section between the two hip ends, i dont see why not.

Since you dont have verticle gable ends (as with a traditional pitch roof), you've got to pay attention to where the horizontal plane of the raised cieling portion intersects with the angled hip roof plane.
However, I'm not framer and so, I'm not sure how you'd frame the end hip rafters to a truss.
But the best thing to do would be to talk with a truss company and/or contractor would does this everyday.

Pretty sure hip roofs... Rooves?? You know what I mean. Pretty sure they are stick built. As in assembled on site. Not sure how they would go about ensuring they are engineered..
Then again I guess if an engineer drew up the plans and stamped away. It would work.. No?
But good topic. I will be in a similar situation at some point.

BigGMCs drawing shows the roof framing, but not the needed top of the wall joists for fighting wall spread in that type of construction.
If you want a post free interior the camber truss is what you want.
