Room and attic trusses

My girlfriend and I are building a 30x30 garage and need to know the square footage above the garage using room and attic truss. We have 6 kids so need the room

Welcome!

The "usable" size of the space will depend of the pitch of the roof (due to ceiling height).

Usually you'll want to match the pitch of the roof on your house?

If you don't know.. post up a photo.

Welcome to the GJ. Would be great if you added that location to your profile.

I'm in the process of having a 30x36 garage built. The attic trusses run the 30' span. I wanted an 8' ceiling on the second floor... The engineer built it as - 10/12 pitch, 8' ceiling, approximately 5' knee walls: The usable space between knee walls is roughly 16x36.
