By how much will side bracing and Trusses increase the snowload and wind resistance?

[@BootstrapFarmer]

Bracing and trusses help stiffen everything against move around. Given all of the external variables, we cannot definitively say x amount of percentage. you have to consider soil structure, the individual builders, skill level, wind, exposure, and the area around the structure, plus with the individual. Farmer is using the house for internally. Olive which is out of control. This is why getting a structural engineer stamp universally every state is impossible, unless , you individually get that paperwork done with somebody certified in that state. Bootstrapfarmer spent great expense getting stamps early on and working with structural engineers. However those stamps expire and it’s not feasible to get that done for every county,city, and state.

I'm considering a large structure. I'm a fan of mis-spoken lyrics of famous songs and misrepeated common phrasing. I think you are trying to say "RACKING" not raking. Sorry. Correct me if I'm wrong here.

[@BootstrapFarmer]

We talk to a lot of structural engineers and farmers from all over the country. I can tell you with certainty that I’ve heard both used interchangeably. There’s not a day that goes by that we don’t hear a different pronunciation of the same thing and we just embrace those has regional differences.
