could you give the truss spacing for the perlin placement that you posted about in the pole building thread below. I do a little building and am always looking for more simple and more cost effective ways of doing things and this method strikes me as a good one.

You might find something here. This site has a bunch of plans you can download for free, but they tend to be older. New designs and specs have a nominal charge.

The trusses on both buildings are at 7.5 feet. the buildings are 1 side open. The back side of the building (closed) poles are set every 7.5..open side poles are at 15 with a cheater @ 7.5 nailed inbetween 2 2X12 headers, one header inside and one outside of the poles. Purlins are set at 2 foot on top of the trusses. Wind braces are nailed under the top of the trusses at various postitions running diagonly from the header to the peak.

About 5 years ago, had some 80 MPH+ straight line winds go through. One building (50 X 185 clear span) is set N/S orientation with east side open. Wind were from the east. Blew all the fiberglass skylights out but none of the tin lifted. At times after a good blizzard, i can have up to and maybe over a 3' drift on the roof in a couple places.

Hope this helps. I might be able to get a pic for you from the bottom side for a better idea. Email me, put in subject line purlin/truss space so I know it isn't spam.
