Visit the truss company and discuss the job. Before taking the order, they
will produce a drawing and have you sign it, to cover their ass. Get plenty
of overhang. It doesn't cost much and will help keep the building from
rotting.

The designer will be happy to discuss all options. Storage is easy, but
usually takes a little beefing up, especially of the lower chord.

GET THREE PRICES, if possible. I see up to 25% variation around here.

I know you guys have used trusses before so question is, what's the proper
way to get the length? What I'm meaning to say is, are the overhangs
included in the measurement? Outside wall to outside wall is 20 feet.
Would
I order a 20 foot truss or would it be a 22 foot truss. The extra 2 feet
is
a foot overhang on each side. Snow and ice has recently collapsed my dads
garage roof. I've never used trusses before. Thanks.
