The sad fact is your builder could have installed attic trusses over this garage for just slightly more than what the existing trusses cost.
How to convert your attic roof trusses.
Cut the ends to the same angle you used for the pony wall studs.
Your attic is now ready for finishing.
By doing that you will make an easier yet more available height to use above the staircase.
This completes the reframing process.
Attic conversions are now possible by replacing the truss rafters with a shaped trusses or horizontal beams which in return create additional space.
The role of the horizontal beam is to tie the truss together and carry the load that would otherwise be sustained by the support and vertical timber also known as the king post.
You can add a staircase for the conversion.
The most ideal place would be in line with the roof ridge.
A prefabricated attic roof truss is the only type of roof truss that can be used to convert your attic space allowing you to use all the space in your home.
Attic trusses have a rectangular shape inside each truss.
If you think you might need an additional room to create an office space a guest room or simply to have more storage space the attic roof truss will help you bring your projects to fruition.
Nail them to the rafters and angle nail the center support to the top edge of the horizontal brace.
