    You would first have to chalk our the dimensions and design of the roof truss that you want to build. First of all, measure and cut the material required for the truss. Fit all the pieces together to see that the dimensions are right. Then use these pieces as patterns for marking and cutting of other roof trusses if need be. Use hugh quality timber for top chords and outer segment of the bottom chords. Cut plywood gussets according to the truss plan. Put in nails and ensure that the nails at the front and back do not come together. Use pattern gussets in order to connect the single side of the last roof. Nail the truss connections and fasten the blockings around each gusset. Lay out framing member and stack all the trusses for installation.

    Not what I was looking for. I want to learn something about designing a roof truss instead of buying them and having it done for me.
