Squaring up trusses

I Have A Pole Barn That Is 4 Inches Out Of Square I Would Like To Know How To Put My Roof Trusses On So They Will Be Square So That When The Ply Wood Goes On I Don’t Have To Block It When It Does Not Fall On 4 Foot Centers.

What's the dimensions and what way are the the trusses running and did you check the diagonals to see that it's 4" out of square?

Are the trusses 16" centers or 24" centers?

I would say just start from the center, - - make sure it's perpendicular to one wall, - - then just work from that truss out, in both directions, - - the only ones that will be off are the ends.

Why not square up the pole barn before you set the trusses?
