How Much Of An Overhang Is Possible W/ Truss

72chevy4x4

I'm looking at a project and one option would be to have a large 8' cantilever built into one side of the truss. total length (bearing to bearing) would be about 20', so I would be looking at a 28' truss.

Has anyone heard of this setup before? I recently ordered shed trusses and speced a two foot drop from front to back, so they're pretty talented w/ what can be accomplished.

That would be no sweat for the truss guys I use.

They can be designed like that,
talk to your truss guy.

I'll second on the truss engineers. What works where you are may not work here. FAY is on the way!
