Hey Paul, Did you add on to the height of your trusses? I’m about to build a shop with the same trusses and considering different options to make them taller. Thanks, Brandon

yes. I plan to weld on another 5 foot 2 inches to allow for 12 foot metal walls. I have not done that yet. I will video how that goes though.

Thanks Paul, I’d like to see that. I’ve seen where a small town built a community pavilion with these trusses. They put 3 inch pipe in the ground and welded these on top. It was a 40×40 with 4 foot pipe out of the ground and no side walls. I’m planning to do this with the same height as you so an RV will fit inside. I’m going to space mine only 8 foot apart with 2×4 wood purlins.

Hello from Dublin, Ireland. Lovely coop..stands out from the crowd! Thinking of buying your plans. My husband has rudimentary skills and access to good tools and advice. How long do you think it would take him to build it?
