Early in plans to add small addition to the shop. Picture a shed roof off one end. Now instead of a flat angle, change the picture to a 1/2 bowstring arch roof. Peak butts the existing structure, curving down to eave aprox. 20' span. Survyors were here last week, size depends on their final report and drawing of the lot line.
(Ignore the roofing, this is about structure. I have installed rubber roofs in the past including on the back side of this same barn 10 years ago and am happy with that product)
I could design truss with arched top.
But lamella seems to offer possible efficiencies for open ceiling, insulation, and perhaps even ease of construction for one person crew (me).
Anyone built one?
Any quick design resources/cookbooks?
