new guy- garage build info request

[tbody321]

Hi guys, been a lurker on the site for some time. Lots of great reading material.
Im looking to have a garage built, 26x40 or 28x42, the 2o plus side would be connected/attached to my existing 2 car garage. The garage will have a monolithic slab which meets my local codes, and I would prefer to have open ceiling, my walls would be 12ft with a 4-12 or 5-12 pitch. I do not want trusses from side to side, but rafter that go from side walls to ricge beam..if that makes sense. If anyone has pics or a site tht may show what Im looking for please share.
Sincerely, TC

TC: i don't have your answer to your build question, but i can tell you that if you go into the forum's garage gallery section and see if you can find threads with your answer.

if you want to post a few pictures of the area you want to build your garage someone with the knowledge to help you might have a better idea.

welcome to the group and good luck on your new build.

Give this a look -

Assuming the absolute maximum height is 15', why not try a Vaulted Parallel Chord Truss?

A neat thing about a VPCT is that it allow you to have full height insulation at the top plate. Vent the roof using Accuvent's Cathedral Ceiling Vent System (seal edges with spray foam, please) and insulate between the rafters.

One example:

• 15' overall height
• about 13-1/2' clearance at the peak
• 9' walls
• 16" deep trusses (no ridge beam)
• 4/12 roof pitch
• 10'x8 + 14'x8' doors (my favorite configuration for this size building)
