Looks good! I’d run a couple 6” or better screws up thru the wall top plates and into that cross header you have there. If those walls can never spread the peak of course will not sag down. You may have already done it and it doesn’t show.

Osky Thank you, I will do that, I have it screwed in pretty good but a dollar worth of long screws is cheap insurance. Im no carpenter but I would put another cross tie or 2 and would nail them directly to the rafter, also I dont understand putting purlins over the sheeting. I was going to put two more crossties in, right at each end, I'm hoping that's enough? Putting Purlins on then tin on those to hopefully keep the moisture out due to the temperature differential. I was afraid if we put the tin directly on the sheathing it would cause the sheathing to rot due to the temperature differential creating condensation.

Oriented Strand Board ??? What happened to using Plywood? I had the strand board so just ran with it. Id put a couple more 2x's from side to side and throw a piece or two of your left over plywood up there... Keeps the sides from spreading and gives you a ton more storage.
Looks very good from here.... I'm doing my best to not store stuff in here. I have a shipping container for storage and just need a work shop. The only reason I don't want more 2x is because it will obstruct the tv I think.

Cutting your rafter tails is easier before you put your roof sheathing on but then that's not nessasary if your not putting on any facia and soffit.
Common sense is a not a vegetable that does well in everyone's garden.

X2 on the advise against horizontal purlins and tin. If you must use horizontal purlins, Ice and gutter guard the entire roof and a ridge vent at a minimum will help. The ridge vent will allow some airflow thru the ribs of the tin and the ice and gutter guard will prevent water from soaking into the OSB. Metal is an excellent conductor of heat/cold which leads to condensation and can cause water to show up in unexpected places.
Do you plan on insulating this building?

I find it easier to run the bird blocks before the sheeting , but you can still do it

I planned on doing ice and gutter on the entire roof. I do plan on insulating the building. I thought this is what people told me to do but I may have misunderstood. I'm not worried about a their going through the window, I'm very rural and that is where the window ac unit will go and the winter coyote bait pile will be 100 yards behind that window.

If your putting an ac unit in it forget the window save your money. Just get the unit cut the hole for it . What I did on both sides of mine. One less expense . But your building your money . Got the window for free and I need it to shoot coyotes off my bait pile. Wife was angry last time a .22 mag was fires from the house and terrified the baby.
