My garage has a truss roof, I would like to increase the ceiling height. Does anyone know if or how I could increase the ceiling height while keeping the roof strong and rigid.
Difficult to do with some trusses & still keep things structurally safe & sound. Some photo's of the trusses would give a lclearer picture, plus how much extra ceiling height you wanting.
Not viable in my opinion. Are the walls, concrete blocks, because years ago I seen a neighbour lift his garage roof with a mate using acrows,loads of them, they lift 3" at a time lay course of engineering brick, then repeat, did 3 or 4 courses, just to get headroom for a discovery to fit in,it was crazy.
I think you might be right. I might see if I can get away with strengthening a few in the middle to get the height I need. Doesn't need to be the whole roof. Wow! Definitely don't need the head room that much. Creative way of doing the job!
