Building Plywood Trusses
To start with, planning is the most important aspect of building any project. Either draw it out full scale or work with a draftsman on an AutoCad drawing, like I did for this particular project. (John Ricardo of Northford, CT) As you can see, each truss is made up of 6 pieces, glued, stapled, and screwed together. The trusses are supported by 2 triple laminated beams directly above the fiberglass columns.
This picture here shows the end product 
of what took about a weeks worth of time to fabricate.
Each truss is a double thick 3/4″ CDX plywood construction. They are stapled & glued together with a 2-part water proof type adhesive.
