I am designing a house in Costa Rica. They don’t have summer/winter, so snow load is not an issue. They do have wet/dry. My slope is 10 cm in 1 m, .1m/1m. Dead weight is a steel roof on 5/8 ply, plus rain. My maximum span is 5.02 m.
?
Humidity and mold are the problems. I would probably expose the framing. What would you recommend for rafters/trusses?
I look forward to your reply

It may be best to post this question in the Breaktime forum...that forum belongs to Fine Homebuilding and I'm sure you'll find many more builders over there.
The House Chat forum is more design and interiors oriented, as it is the forum for Inspired House magazine.
