I built 9 barn style trusses for my 10x16 shed. This is a studio / workshop space that will have a loft. The Gambrel trusses provide plenty of headroom in the loft. I show detailed plans for how I built my trusses using 2x6 lumber and 1/2 inch plywood gussets.

A viewer has noted that a bottom rafter cut at 54 1/8 inches instead of 54 1/2 inches worked better for the 10x16 base. Please double check the measurements I'm suggesting to ensure your trusses fit your build.

*Disclaimer: I'm not a professional, just a seasoned DIYer. You should double check my measurements and advice and adhere to your local building codes.
