Totally forget using wood for a building that size. Wood trusses can be built, to span a hundred feet, BUT the roof peak will be incredibally high which will cause wind loading issues and take twice as much steel to cover it. Steel rafters can be built to support a 1 or 2 on 12 slope and the roof blows clear of snow rather than allowing the snow to build up on the lea side of the building. The low pitch also allows the whole roof to warm up when the sun shines in the winter. No mater what type of construction you decide on you also need to consider all the snow that is going to come off the roof and what it will do to the lower exterior walls as it builds up there. Eave overhangs should be considered. I'm not just blowing smoke. I sold and erected Essex steel buildings. The pics are of a couple of buildings we built for two machinery dealers in the area. They go up fast once the piers are in place. Erector set construction. A 3 man crew and suitable equipment can efficienty erect them. Loren, the Acg. PS my e-mail is open if you have further questions.
