Hi all. I will soon be constructing my pyramid roof in 200x45 rafters.It is 6.1 metres square by about .8 metre high.It has a centre post and doubled rafters at the corners all laid on a 400mm high upstand.It has rafters at approx 600 centres and they are connected by purpose made skewed hangers to match the 15 degree sloped roof held by tie straps and truss clips at the upstand. How do I get the rafter profiles top and bottom-is there an easy way? Do you put in the middle rafter on each face and work out? Do you saw off the vertical "birds mouth" last for the facia board?
