I believe so. See attached. My doors are 9' wide.

Thanks for the pic. My roof with have a 6.00/112 pitch so that should shake the snow. I can see that the pulin would help.

This question has been bugging me since you posted the first picture. Why is one garage door differant that the other 3 garage doors?

My friend built a pole shed, would hold about 4 vehicles I forget the exact size, 12' walls. Up here in Minnesota, it has 8' spacing on the poles & on the trusses. It was designed & built by a pretty good company that does it for a living. And we have about as much snowload as it gets here in MN, as well as wind load - he's on the Buffalo Ridge.

So, wide spacing can be done. It has pretty good purlins of course.

Hey Junkman,

The small door is the work shop. It's 7x9 so I have plenty of room to get in and out for what it is used for. My Kioti even fits! (With less than an inch to spare) /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
