]]> Comment on Single Car Gabled Wooden Carport – 10 x 20 by admin http://carport-kits.com/gabled-wood-10x20/#comment-6 admin Sat, 06 Aug 2011 18:20:31 +0000 http://carport-kits.com/?p=107#comment-6 Thank you for your comment! It certainly wouldn't hurt to add trusses, it would only further the rigidity of the roof. As for the truss spacing, 6 trusses total will need to be spaced 3' 9 3/5" apart. This is considering 2" width of each truss too, the sum of all that comes out to 20'. If you were to add more trusses to the build, I would go with 8 since it's most simple compared to other amounts of trusses. Using 8 trusses you'll have a 2' 8" gap length. Feel free to reply if you have any further questions! Thank you for your comment!

One question regarding trusses. # and spacing of trusses seems odd. Would think trusses would be 24" O.C. with total of 11 trusses. Do not understand the gap as listed - is it incorrect? If not, what is actual gap in ft./inches? Thanks Great plans. One question regarding trusses. # and spacing of trusses seems odd. Would think trusses would be 24″ O.C. with total of 11 trusses.
