hi all,
I'm designing a small entryway (8' span, bents 6' apart) with two kingpost trusses, and wondering what is the simplest way to achieve an overhang? Can I just move the the posts inside the ends of the bottom chord by a foot?

I've seen the trusses that have the rafter passing by, and the bottom chord tenons into it, but it would seem to me that the peg on the chord tenon would be doing lots of work there where in a classic truss the rafter foot has a positive bearing on the mortise end in the chord....are these trusses sound?

Thanks for any insights you can provide.
