:

I have a pole barn with pre-built trusses on 2 foot centers. I would
like to put a loft at one end to increase my storage. Is it possible
to reinforce the rafter so that I could remove parts of the truss to
make it possible to move around easier when in the loft?

Thanks
Mike


Sure.


...what does the truss engineer say?


Absolutely Oren!

My answer of "sure" included that. It was as vague and had as many
implied items as the question.

With enough money, a structural engineer, concrete, lumber, steel,
qualified construction people, etc., etc, my reply is 100% accurate -
"Sure".
