Yeah, I hear you on the green. I saved $100 because they had some remaindered green. This is one of those decisions I may need to reverse as time goes on. But an 8x12 shed roof has many uses, so this one will get used here or elsewhere. I do take the point.
Going back to the sidewalls, I was thinking I could build trusses without cross-pieces. A friend of mine built a shed roof with small triangles of plywood holding the rafters in place, and no other bracing. It weathered this very snowy weather fine. This system would leave almost 6' of standing height down the center, and so the roof would roll leaving a good channel of clear space somewhat above the side walls. Does this change the view about the 4' walls, or have we got a consensus that they are a mistake?
