As you can see in the detail my porch was built using pre-fabricated mono trusses and pre-cast concrete piers. Our farmers porch is quite large, 60 ft in one direction and another 20 feet in the other.direction. Being that large it made sense to have the trusses made ahead of time. You could just as easily frame it with conventional rafters if you want. The basic layout has my posts and piers at roughly 6â²-6â³ apart.
