I would like to build a simple carport/car cover. The roof will be metal. The look I'm after is what you see in the rest areas along the interstate in the South. It's kind of a scissor truss with metal brackets. I want to span 24' to allow for two cars.
This is needs to look beefy. So I'm thinking the posts will likely be 8x8 or 6x8.
Im wondering if there is anything I can reference for the scissor truss design. I'm thinking of using pressure treated pine and staining it. Overall the footprint is 24' wide by 20' deep so I'm thinking three trusses sitting on 6 posts.
