You need to contact them with questions on whether a permit is required for your project. Normally a permit is not required, but this varies by area of the country. It is your responsibility to determine if your building requires a permit and to obtain one prior to construction.

If you want to hide the trusses and the edge of the roof panels, you can add gabled walls, side panels, and J-trim to your structure as well. We don’t include these standard to save you money, but many of our customers prefer to add these and make the edges of their building look smoother.
