| Needs a ton of diagonal bracing for the walls, like 3/4 plywood sheets and some long diagonal 2x6 or 8. The walls need as much diagonal bracing as the trusses. It would be beneficial to have several cross walls because the long walls won't be stiff enough to hold up to 80 or 100 mph breezes we've seen in the last few days around the country.
Probably needs something like joist hangers to tie the studs to the places, toe nailing or nailing through the plates won't be nearly strong enough. And then screws could help too.
Many a truss roof truss has fallen from inadequate bracing before it was fully erected. It takes a lot of lumber for diagonal and straight bracing.
