I am building rafters from a plan I got off line. The spread is 12ft with rectangle shape and a king post in the center. Not sure of the roof pitch, but the king post is 2ft 8". Someone suggested I put some web supports or struts on sides of king post to the principal rafter for extra brace, since we have snow around 40 psf. The span of principal rafters is about 78" on each side from top to support tie beam at bottom and 12ft across bottom. I am using 1/2 plywood gussets at all joins, on both sides of truss, using 2" 6d common galv nails every 4" and glued
Do you think I really need to worry about adding extra support?
Thanks
