I want to build my own trusses for my 8 x 10 shed, but I havent seen any info on calculating angles and such.

I want to use a storage/attic design.

Is there an online tool that allows you to input your dimensions?

Give us the roof pitch you want to use and how much overhang you want at the eaves.

amaskedman,

In an 8X10 shed you are not going to get enough storage in the rafters to make it worth the trouble of doing. I did it5 in my 10X12 shed simply because I could put an attic door in the front and have 2 shelves where I could store 10' long material.
