Building diy Attic Trusses pt 2 garage build ep 15

Building heavy duty attic style trusses for the garage / shop project. Diy homemade attic truss rafter build for a barndominium, pole barn, garage, shop, shed or any outbuilding really. Sometimes it's best to build it yourself. I used plywood gussets, PL glue, and ring shank twist nails. It was a lot of work and a big undertaking for me but when I was quoted around 12k for trusses I did the math and saved about 5k total by doing it myself.
Here is part 1 of the truss build • Building diy Attic Tru...

I have no doubt those are far stronger than what you would have bought from a manufacturer, but that's a hell of a lot of work LOL. Nice work.

[@SmartEasyDIYer]

Thank you I appreciate it! Yes, they are super solid. Really happy how they came out. It was a lot of work, but I didn’t figure my time since it was my own project. Sweat equity instead of more money out of my pocket. 😁👍

Ive been waiting for this second episode. Thank you! I'm building a home on my own, paying cash as I go, and this is my next step. This is GOLD!

[@SmartEasyDIYer]

[@SmartEasyDIYer]

@@frankvisco7944 Wow sorry to hear about your loss. I’m glad if you found this helpful. Yes I didn’t really cover dimensions in this video I didn’t make particular instance it was almost 8 foot ceilings in the center part of the attic with this design. Thank you I appreciate it!

[@frankvisco7944]

@@SmartEasyDIYer Awesome and TY going to be a long road but we are going to make it thru just going to make us all stronger as a family !!! plus we get to go camper till the new house is done and what kid doesn't wanna go camping ;)

[@SmartEasyDIYer]

@@frankvisco7944 you’re welcome! Yes that will be quite the adventure for your family. We did the camper living for 10 months while we built our house too but we only had two kids at the time. 😁

Very nice video, you explain things very well and without to much chatting.

[@SmartEasyDIYer]

Thanks. Some ppl say I talk to much but I try to explain things and I figure they can alway skip ahead if need be. 😁

All that nailing sounds like you’re making pallets.

[@SmartEasyDIYer]

Hey dude good to see you! Yes it doesn’t make me think of pallets sometimes too. 😁👍

[@ronmarkell4436]

I remember nailing a plate on a beam onetime. Your dad said out loud, “sounds like somebody’s making pallets’. Never forgot that.

[@ronmarkell4436]

Also, you may not know but I made a ton of these trusses for the hay barn that Doug G. Needed for the buffalo. We had a four man crew which went pretty well.

[@SmartEasyDIYer]

@@ronmarkell4436 thanks for sharing the memory. No I had no idea on the history of that building and that you helped build those trusses that’s really cool!

Did you use 10d nails for the hangers since it's a double?
