HI JOE THE BARN IS 32 BY 44 THE TRUSSES ARE ON 24'' CENTERS AND YES I DID THE DIAGONALS THANKYOU FOR YOUR TIME. TONYJoe Carola said:What's the dimensions and what way are the the trusses running and did you check the diagonals to see that it's 4" out of square?
Are the trusses 16" centers or 24" centers?

HOW WOULD I IF THE 6BY6 POLES ARE ALREADY SET?hatchet said:Why not square up the pole barn before you set the trusses?
THIS MIGHT WORK THANK YOU.Tom R said:I would say just start from the center, - - make sure it's perpendicular to one wall, - - then just work from that truss out, in both directions, - - the only ones that will be off are the ends.
As others have posted - the roof can be put in square but somewhere the 4" have to be accounted for.. like Tom and Mike have said - 2" on each end is most probable. I guess hindsight is 20/20 and it should've been put in square to begin withtonymason said:HOW WOULD I IF THE 6BY6 POLES ARE ALREADY SET?
I HIRED A MENONITE TO SET THE POSTS I WAS TOLD HE KNEW WHAT HE WAS DOING. THE 2X4'S ARE ALREADY ON AS ARE THE 2 2X10 TOP RAILS.hatchet said:As others have posted - the roof can be put in square but somewhere the 4" have to be accounted for.. like Tom and Mike have said - 2" on each end is most probable.

THANKS JOE THATS A SMART IDEA. TOO BAD YOU WERE NOT HERE TO HELP SET THESE TRUSSES! HA HAJoe Carola said:Tony.
I assume the trusses are running the 32' way. So mark your first and second 24" truss layout and then pull your tape at a diagonal to the other side until you you hit 32' 3/4" and that will be your mark that sets the trusse square from one end to the other.

THIS IS ALSO A GOOD THOUGHT I WONDER IF A CHAIN COME-ALONG WOULD WORK?
