I’m kinda building as I go; 16’ wide, 12’ tall & either 24-32’ deep....gonna keep it above ground & secure solid with concrete,rebar,etc...flat roof with slightly pitched away from house for now.
Later will add some trusses & tie into house.
But for now will be a standalone.
1 entrance door & 1 garage door.

Cool. I have a degree in structural engineering if you need to pass anything by me.

It’s gonna be framed out like a pole-barn/house

Those 6x6’s & 2x12’s aren’t no joke

I’m drilling & bolting everything together with 1/2” & 5/8” carriage bolts

I don’t like notching out the 6x’s.....I’d rather sandwich them with 2x12’s & bolt them & when another 2x12 intersects; the hole drill placement is a different pattern,,,so they don’t touch

Will do; gonna osb all over when done & vinyl the sides/tar paper & shingle the roof

Still contemplating the 2x’s of perlines & weather I’m going 16 or 24” centers....as the 6x6’s are 8’ on center & 2x12’s will be doubled across & around the top & bottom.
So it shouldn’t blow over

There will be a 16’ span across the doubled 2x12’s....so any input on perlines,joist hangers,etc... will be appreciated

I know my terminology of the components are probably wrong

But I’m gonna go ahead & build my own trusses & put them on top...just want to have at least the 16x16’ assembled & leveled before adding more weight.

The pitch is probably only gonna be around 4:12, as that’s what my front gable is....roof is 5:12 on house

Good Sunday Morning all. Well it's official, UT is NOT Back and they are not good.

You just want to make sure you have enough stiffness. That can be largely affected by the column connections. If you have a full moment connection at the foundation the upper portion can be lighter. If you have a weak connection then you need to stiffen the upper to resist the loading.
