That all makes sense and very interesting about the fly rafter cantilever. The more you know. Appreciate your thorough answers and sharing. I hope you are an instructor of some sort for a living. You’d be great.

Incredible! Your shed is better than my house. Thanks so much for posting the detailed pictures and captions, what a great resource.

I’m an aspiring DIYer. 2 questions

(1) it looked like you did not use rafter ties or collar ties. This seems to imply all roof rigidity comes from the ridge clips and hurricane clips at top plate. Is that correct? I would be worried about that but given you were on the roof it seems strong.

(2) any strength in the gable overhang (beautiful btw) seems to come from the end-grain nailed blocking, unless it’s stiffness comes from somewhere else. Is that safe / within code? Are there other ways to do that?

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your project!
