No and yes. Our framed roof plans are generally designed for 30 pounds per square foot of live roof load. It requires a recalculation of all roof members to increase the live load for a framed roof garage plan. This will be a custom plan or additional engineering. Our truss roof plans will meet most increased live roof loads because the truss design is performed by the truss manufacturer to meet the individual live load requirement of your area.
