Many shop builders assemble their trusses on the ground in sections and crank them up in place. I did that to my shop and it’s entirely possible to do it with just one guy but it’d go faster with each guy on the corners.

Aquamoose, how did you raise this exactly?
At first I assumed a tractor with a boom rigged but you said “cranked” it up so curious if winch or comealongs were used.

Webbed winches. They are screwed down with long lags to the posts. First pic shows 2x6 board nailed to the side where the top is positioned to hold the truss. Same on the rest of the posts. Crank it up until they snap in place, make minor sideway adjustments, then drill & install bolts.

Well I’ll be. That one is going into my playbook. I’m working my way towards a 24x30 addition on my shop and I like working alone.
