It’s wonderful to see that the skills needed to drive in a 4” nail ie pre-drilling! And using a REAL HAMMER no modern days hundreds of pounds nail-guns!
I was thinking the same thing! Something to be said about taking your time and keeping it old school piloting every hole and make 70% of your cuts with a hands saw. The quality of work is far superior this way. Plus keeping it old school you get to stay out of the wife’s hair longer haha Awesome video
Thank you for the video. I'm busy building a small greenhouse and I've just got the the rafters stage. I'm not a builder and so I've been doing some research on UA-cam. This is by far the most helpful. We'll done and Thank you.

Can you explain how you determined the depth of your birds mouth notch? You cut the ends for a 6/12 but hypothetically you could skew the pitch depending on the depth of the birds mouth and I'd like to understand better the formula or math behind determining that cut
Thank you for your question. The depth of the notch is usually 1/4 to 1/2 the thickness of the rafter. As long as you cut the notch and ridge at the same pitch it will not skew the angles. Remember, always keep the length from the notch to the ridge consistent.
So i wanna be in your videos because the way you work that's really experience so nobody do like the way you do the Job i appreciate what you share and i like to be on a video with you
Nice video.......thanks for sharing. Good job on the outer trusses you made. I would have done a few things different....FWIW. 1. Used anchor straps on the tail end of the rafters with screws. 2. Used screws instead of 4" common nails. 3. Used a Speed Square at times instead of the large bulky framing square. 4. Bought a new saw. **** BTW........ I new a new saw too........LoL.
Iam planning on building a shed with rsj and insulated sheeting onroof going to put solar panels on roof shed size I want will be 45ft x 30ft. Would be interested in knowing what pitch u would recommend it won't be a a roof
Thank you for your question. First, nails have a higher shear strength than screws. Second, nails are less expensive than screws. Don't get me wrong; I like screws for certain building projects, especially temporary construction.
Great video! I'm working on a 15'x10' shed roof(I'm putting it over an old trailer with a destroyed roof). I found this video the most helpful and found you explained things clearly. I do have a question about the strength of this shed. I wonder if it would take 4-5ft of snow? I am in a snow belt area(~80psf) with low winds. I want to do something similar, but I think it needs to be a bit stronger. I'm looking to make a similar build, but adding strength. I'm looking at a 10' span. I have some beefy 2x4 rough lumber(actual dimension) around 8'-8'.5"(I think its old growth cedar), and about 6-7 beefy 2x4s at 10'+. I also have some beefy 2x6 for top plates. I'm looking to do 10/12 with rafters ~16-18" OCs(I think it works to like 17.2") with rafter ties and collar ties(I think? or perhaps only useful for winds?). I'm wondering about techniques for securing the rafters/ties/top plate. I was considering toe nailing one nail each side to the top plate. Then, was thinking about using plywood gussets on each side(3/4in ply, liquid nails + ~1.5in nails ~3+3 at each connection). I think I could get 6-7 of these, and there would be 9 rafter sets total. I'm most concerned about the walls bowing out, and less concerned about rafters twisting or forces at the ridge board. I was basically planning on securing the rafters to the ridge board in similar manner to what you did in this video. I figure the collar ties will also see less force, and was planning to use a similar strategy as rafter ties with smaller ply gussets and no glue. Anyways, I hope this isn't too much info to scare you off. Really hoping to hear your opinion on this. I'm a pretty new to this and mostly working with guess work
Thank you for your questions. Yes, my garden shed will handle a lot of snow and wind. Rough lumber is much stronger than planed lumber, so your building should be plenty strong. Plywood gussets will certainly strengthen the connections. The wall will not bow out with proper ceiling joists and connections.
Thank you for your question. A scientific calculator is needed to figure out the degree of the angle or, as I prefer, a roof pitch to degree conversion chart. You can download it from the internet. www.pole-barn.info/roof-pitch.html

What size are the rafters? What size is the ridge board? You gave the lengths but not the size...
2x4? 2x6? 1x6?
Thank you for your questions.
The rafters are 2"x4" rough. The ridgeboard is 1:x6" rough.
👍
Thanks for tis tutorial !!!!!!!!!!!
Glad my video was helpful.
Hi, how did you know on which degree cut rafters? You mentioned that with slip at X the degree needs to be Y
Thank you for your question.
A scientific calculator is needed to figure out the degree of the angle or, as I prefer, a roof pitch to degree conversion chart. You can download it from the internet. www.pole-barn.info/roof-pitch.html
what are you standing on there? are those temporary or I guess there is a loft or attic in this shed?
Thank you for your question.
I'm standing on the attic floor.
Are nails lift proof when for example a tornado passes?
Thank you for your question.
If I lived in a tornado area I would use hurricane ties on all my rafters.
Would not the HAP change your ridge height?
Thank you for your question.
Yes, the HAP (Height Above Plate) will change the ridge height, but when using four-inch rafters the difference is minimal. It's always good to fit your first rafter to adjust angles, if needed.
Un trabajo increíble.
Muchas gracias.
Hi Sir,
how did you calculate the theoretical line length and tail line length?
I appreciate your time.
Thank you for your question.
I use the practical method of placing the rough lumber in position, marking it and then cutting it to fit. It may take a little trial and error.
question how high is the rafter from the top of the wall ? thank you !
Thank you for your question.
The ends of the rafters are resting on the top of the walls.
The peak of the rafters is 2.5 feet from the top of the walls.

how much harder would a 12/12 slope be?
Thank you for your question.
A 12/12 pitch roof is more difficult to walk on. Other than that, the only difference is the angles.
