Loft trussed roof ideas

Who would have thunk, eh.

That was the theory, yes. In practice, the truss manufacturer was actually helpful when I spoke to them last year and pointed me in the right direction.

Always interesting when real life doesn't follow forum absolutes.

Yes. Every single one would repeat what I told you in my post.

Not quite, what you said was that they wouldn’t engage at all.

In reality, they did engage, were helpful, and pointed me in the right direction. This was an older guy that designed my roof 30 years ago, we had a half hour chat, just discussing ideas, he couldn't provide me with any calculations as no longer worked for the manufacturer, neither the manufacturer were designing or selling trusses anymore, but gave me contact details to another SE which confirmed everything and given me that possible, cheap DIY route to do it.
That’s the only point I was making.
