My husband and I are looking to buy this home. The home owner made these roof trusses (non-structural) ones himself with 1/2 inch plywood, but after he did it on each side, he said to heck with it. We are adding a garage and a porch in the front and would like to buy manufactured trusses that look like this-any ideas where to find them?

Start calling the local truss fabricators. Make sure you know the approximate span and exterior geometry(slopes, etc.) to get a general answer. If that that thye will need a plan with dimensions to make sure they fit what you plan on building.

They have access to programs to design almost any type of truss and probably can make any size within reason. - For just a few trusses, it could be pricey, but you know they will meet code when you go for a permit.
