I made my own on 22'x12' and 10'x12' tool sheds that I built, both with 6' peaks. All I did was copy the webbed trusses of one of my barns using 2x6 across, 2x4 up to the peaks, but on smaller scales. Beyond the plates, maybe they call them pletes, I don't know, I also ran 4" counter sunk screws into the boards where they met. Those sheds have been standing since 2004 and are as solid as rocks. Snow doesn't stay long because of the pitches, but but have had over 1' deep heavy snows on them, some pretty high winds.

As somebody else said though, by the time you factor in time and materials, premade from a supplier is often cheaper. Probably always cheaper. Oh well, I made my own and don't regret it.

Well, although these tires were in good shape as far as tread was concerned, they looked real sad. All were flat, but new tubes fixed that. In addition to years and years of scuffing and fading, they had paint splattered on
