Building a Horse Run In Shelter

[Atlas2015]

Hello,
I am building a 16 x 30 lean to horse run in shelter and I am using (6) 6 x 6 post as load bearing post and (6) 4 x 4 as non load bearing post. 16 feet lean to steel trusses on the 6 load bearing post along with 2 x 6 purlins that go on the steel trusses. My question is: Can I install a shingle roof instead of a metal roof with the steel trusses? I have all the materials to build a shingled roof and I hate to build a metal roof since I have shingled every other structure on my property, plus my horses will run out of it at the sound of rain here in central Florida. Thanks.

...plus my horses will run out of it at the sound of rain here in central Florida. Thanks.

A little off topic, but when I had my last pole building built, it came with that "bubble wrap" insulation on all walls and under the roof deck. I must say that it does a pretty good job of attenuating the sound of rain. My other 2 steel buildings have none, and you can't even hold a conversation in them while it's raining hard, but the new one with the insulation is quite tolerable. The side facing in is white, so it also brightens up the interior.

I don't see why you can't do a shingled roof. I assume you will use plywood sheathing attached to the purlins for yor roof decking. If you are doing metal siding then consider a slight overhang on all applicable sides so that you can use J-channel at the top to secure the top edge of the metal panels.
