As a beginner, I may be getting in a little deep. I am planning to build a shed either 12 x 24 feet or a little bigger (up to 16 x 30). Cost will determine which. I have a basic shed design out of a book, but would like to have a gambrel roof. I need some advice and resources. I was thinking that using continous purlin plates to join the two slopes might be an idea, but don't know about sizing the plates and attaching the rafters. Any advice will be appreciated.
