Cross bracing ideas for carport/shop ???

[mouthpiece]

So i didn't think much about crossbracing until now.
I need some ideas.
I have some cable and thinking about doing X across the trusses(each side) on the last 2 bays leaving out the middle sections

Pics for reference, oh and this is how @Cowcatcher (thanks for the help!) and I spent last couple weekends
I used the tractor I bought from @undeg01 to lift the trusses and for a ladder to bolt the tops together.
And the invertor from @Perplexed for various power needs

I did add 2 pipe to the end to help stabilise and @Cowcatcher welded them to the structure.
Legs Buried on the end pipe 4' deep.
seen here in this pic

It’s coming together but that ladder on the tractor bucket? Yikes! Looks a little redneck and too much like something I would do.

I got my trusses and tin to my place this weekend. Still need to finish my pad and bring in one more shipping container before my barn project starts.

Keep posting pics!

@undeg01 That ladder is drill stem with cross braces welded. Use to be old building trusses

Looks good so far, though I bet OSHA would have serious questions about your ladder setup

Cables would tighten it all up. But get the roof and walls on it, it will tighten up. Nice looking build!

Shop huh? Nice! Looks tall enough to have some side sheds off it later on!
