The ribs are trusses that are 1x4 innner and outer separated by blocks for spacers. Gussets are at the peak for 'rigidity'.
We will do what we can to patch this derelict. Unfortunately, with a lease that only goes 2 years and is up for renewal we can not even plan anything more permanent until we have a longer term agreement or our own piece of land.
As mentioned before, WW&F can be thankful for having its own property and having the forethought to put up a real structure for a shop and car barn.
