Building roof trusses does not have to be complicated nor does it need any fancy saw cuts.
Cut the bottom chord (the one that sits on the walls) the width of the walls. Cut a center support to get the rise you desire. Cut the top chords and allow for some nice overhangs. Cut some 1/2" plywood to nail the truss together. Put them on both sides for strength. You can use the truss itself to mark the angled cuts for the plywood nailers. The plywood nailers don't need to be perfect.
For a tin roof nail 1x4 purlins across the roof to screw the tin to. Put one at the top and one at the bottom of the roof and about 2' apart in the middle.
You can fasten the trusses to the walls using hurricane straps, they have a 90° bend so they can be fastened to the truss and the wall.
