Metal Gambrel roof? (How to)

[CBGNY]

Hi

Is it possible to construct a metal gambrel roof? How is it construct?

The anatomy of a wood frame is simple and I think the metal frame would be the same expect that the joint of the upper slope, lower slope and the ridge. Should I do welding at those joints or are there anyother ways to connect them?

Thanks

I would think welding would be best.. bolted connections would probably necessitate an increase in depth of the members to accomodate the additional shear factors.
