Thanks guys. Tons of great info here. Lots of things to consider.
As far as snow, not an issue. We get snow accumulation every 4 or 5 years but rarely more than a few inches. Sitting on the front porch of the cabin right now and it’s 65, windy and bats are out.
As far as birds in the trusses, I will likely put a ceiling in.
As far as attic storage I’ve already written that off.
As far as steel trusses, my nephew recently built a 40x100 foot barn with metal trusses from a place in Georgia and he says they are already torqued and twisted. Maybe he gave the wrong specs but his experience has put me off of that path until I can do some more research.
Agree about over hang. In my opinion more is better.
A little concerned about the height at the front as someone mentioned.
What is the lowest slope you can use in an area where snow is not an issue?
