The roof structure is a truss arrangement, it needs no studs to support the gable end and it does not seem to be finished, carpenters frequently leave a wall open until the last minute to make it easier to bring materials inside.
Not a truss, that's merely a triangle. To get the strength of a truss you would need at least two more internal braces to give it the rigidity you need. That is a flexi flyer they've made. Any kind of load and it would flex inwards then collapse as the stresses built up on the joints.
Shhhhh. He says he knows what he is talking about.
I wonder what he thinks of the 2x6 header.
He reminds me of the guy who one time I told him he was crazy for wanting to use 2x4's for his joists for his deck.
"But they're cheaper" he said.
They obviously meant to close off the end walls, That alone would provide sufficient sheer strength to keep it up under any conditions it would be likely to encounter. However were it empty and not tied down it would roll over in a high wind but it would remain fairly intact. The roof structure has sufficient triangular bracing to keep it's shape and a steep enough pitch to shed heavy snow, also any source of heat would melt the snow off of an uninsulated roof. I cannot tell from the picture but i also suspect it was partially prefabricated and put together with screws. If it was screwed together it was not going anywhere under any circumstances.
You know how I know you haven't built anything?
You don't leave an opening that big and then close it off later if you were intending to have it framed and sided from the get-go. It's easier to actually frame it out while you are going, even for people who have never done it before.
No, that opening was left on purpose. And if you think they were going to cover it with OSB....OSB can't handle a load.
Please quit trying to make yourself look foolish, I know exactly what I am talking about.

Been Working in and around Construction my whole life. Them definitely ain't Trusses. The thing would most likely hold hits own weight ok, But any Wind, Snow, or other kind of Load and she is done.

Oh, so you typically leave an 8ft opening that serves no purpose when you intend to close it off later?
The only foolish one here is you, saying that they intended to close off their "garage".

While I completely agree with you that an 8ft opening serves no purpose when you intend to close it off, we are talking about the Occupy Wall Street people. They could seriously just be that foolish.

What in the hell was their Plan with those walls leaning out like that? What was there some Law that said no more than x by y Dimensions, Measured at the base? lol They figured they would stick it to the man by Gaining all the extra space by leaning the wall out, while staying with in the permitted Foot Print maybe? lol Funny shit.

What's the matter? You cannot conceive that there might be a few out of work carpenters among the worthless hippies? Would it last for 20 years? Probably not, but it would last through the winter. Jeeze you people pick some silly shit to argue about and I can't believe I was sucked into it.

if they built that, then we know why they are out of work....
Imagine, occupation is not speech but money is. Pacs and individuals can spend unlimited money to influence our politics but they are putting limits on speech when it comes to the only way to counter the big money.

Where were you when the SCOTUS specifically said that money is speech last year? Keep up.

Do you really think so? or are you just saying that?
