    Greetings and WELCOME to the site, Dan! Since the Introductions topic area is for introductions only and not for asking questions, I have moved your thread to a topic area where it will get more exposure to those who are best able to answer your question.

    Total width of building = 51'
    Length of ceiling joist (run of the rafter) 51/2 = 25' 6"
    Height of ridge with 6/12 pitch (rise of rafter) = 12" 9"
    Square root of A squared plus B squared = C squared
    Length of rafter =28' 6"

    Don't forget to add for the overhang. Which of course is not given.
