    Construction of roof trusses
    The trusses are 12 5 pitch I want to cut into them a foot
    It's a metal pole barn, its 12 foot high
    I want to make it 13 foot high
    Is this feasible?
    Thank you
    John

    Yes but if you are in a area that requires a permit you will have to submit a engineers drawing with his signature of approval before the building dept will accept a cut up truss.
    Trusses are not designed to be modified because they are designed to only support the imposed load as they were constructed with in there original dimensions.
