My first full building build! I really enjoyed building this and would like to thank my husband for all the help, especially with the roof. It took 10 weeks from start to finish with a total of $4,346.51.

    I purchased the Premium 8 x 16 shed plans. I already built the floor. Now I’m cutting the lumber to make the trusses. I did a test fit of the cut lumber for the trusses.. The angles are close but aren’t a perfect fit. I rechecked the length and the angles and the cut lumber is correct.
    Is this typical for the fit of the truss pieces?
    Thank you,

      That should not happen. The info in the plans is accurate since everything is 3d designed. However, the gaps (is not too large) don’t matter, since you have 1/2″ gussets on both sides holding the trusses together
