Of course they have 2x4 or 2圆 trusses on a 40x300 building.2. There were a bunch of chicken houses around that were on a 4:12 pitch that had collapsed roofs and broken trusses. The lean to is on a 1:12 pitch so there is no chance for the snow to slide off. I think I'm going to put up some braces where the trusses tie into the side of the barn as soon as I get a chance though. Basically the lean-to has two long 12x40 bays. I do have post down the middle, so the load on the 2x8's was supported in the middle. Basically four 2x8x24's were holding up all that weigh.

I then ran 2圆 perlins on 2' centers between the trusses.

The building has 2x8 trusses that are 24' long on 12' centers. Based on that my 24x40 lean-to on the side of my barn had a snow load of 19,000 pounds. A buddy of mine works at the co-op and said that the snow on their 10x40 scales weighed in at 8,000 pounds. We had 6" of snow and then freezing rain on top of that. I live in Alabama and have not really thought about snow load until a couple weeks ago.
