50% Structurally Stronger Truss Design Easy Shed Kit Builds 6'–14’ Widths Any Length - Bonus Miter Template, Storage Barn Garage Playhouse Easy Framing Kit - 2x4 Basic Barn Roof DIY EZ Framer Kit

I got these barn shed truss connectors for my brother who expressed a desire to build a barn shed in his back yard (from scratch). After he showed me his (quite labor-intensive) plans, I found these bad boys on Amazon & gave them to him for his birthday. He was impressed with their design & ease of use, but he did have some reservations about their strength... until he began using them to assemble his barn shed. Once completed, he said he thot the strength of the completed unit was nominal

Good product

This system works well, liked the lumber order list. Only negative is the "A"brackets have only 1.625 inch opening for the 2x4 inch rails that tie the trusses together. 2x4 are actually 1.75 inch thick. Once the trusses are all up you cannot force the 2x4 without bending the bracket Trust me I tried. My solution was to plane off 1/8 inch on the 2x4. The brackets are thin but work fine when you add the 20 screws per joint to secure them.

We had 4 guys who are no strangers to building things try to put this together. Instructions are horrible and need a magnifying glass to read it. I purchased 2 kits so we could build a 10'x12' barn style shed. The brackets are incredibly flimsy, even when you put them back-to-back surrounding the 2x4, they still bend in half. we got it 1/2 way put together and scrapped the whole project because we realized that even with it put together, the brackets would not hold the weight of a roof. now it's been over the 30 days since I purchased, and I can't return it. So off to FB marketplace I go in hopes someone wants to build dog houses or mini sheds that would be able to hold a tiny roof for a quarter of what i paid!

Used kit before. Held up to wind and snow better than plywood corners. Lost in fire. Use rafters Runner’s first before attaching to walls to prevent torsion problems. Can bend easily. Walls are engineered for cutting but can use standard studs as walls if concrete foundation is used to carry load weight. Barn style allows inside roof space to be used more effectively and reduces heat buildup when properly vented. Wooden floor allows mice and rodents to chew thru. Biggest expense is roofing material but can use tin for walls and roof. Use insulation for foundation in snow areas and inside walls. Used kits to build greenhouses using half plywood bottom and clear poly. Ramp helps to use as garden tractor storage. Nice product.

This was my first shed build. I used 2 kits and made a 10x14 shed. When assembling the arches I found it easier to assemble the complete arch one side at a time and then join both sides at the peak. I assembled the arches on top of a trampoline to allow easier maneuverability. If you only put one side bracket on and try to flip the arch you’ll find a lot of bending and problems. If you elevate the arch when assembling you can put both side brackets on at one time. The collar ties are very short. As you can see in the pictures once I had the standing shed I replaced the original collar ties with longer ones that had a correct angle at each end. I also added vertical studs at both ends to allow easier nailing of the siding. In addition, I added vertical roof supports that connected the upper rafter board to the collar ties. I also installed a loft and rear hay door. You’ll find a lot of the measurements will be off when going by the directions. You will have to add some additional 2x4s to make mating of surfaces easier. I think the developer should’ve thought more about allowing the use of full 4 x 8 sheets instead of having to do so many cuts for the roof and walls. This was a one man job except for standing the arches and laying the roof sheathing and tar paper. Total Cost was $1400, not including concrete slab.

The brackets seem sturdy. I had a problem getting the instructions which are not included with the brackets. I now have everything I need and am anxious to get started. I will give an update after the shed is built.

I practically built my 8x10 shed by myself. I bought 2 sets, but didn't use the entire 2nd one. I'm going to find a project to use the pieces with. This was an amazing process. Instructions came with a cut list. Assembly was easy! My neighbor helped with the siding, but the rest i did alone. These brackets are AMAZING!! I might try some of their other brackets for other projects around the yard!
