    Tension Ring for eight sided structure

    Does anyone have any suggestions for detailing tension ring for supporting eight-sided roof structure. The structure is only 14' wide with an 8/12 roof pitch. I've detailed similar projects with plywood gussets at the corners. Just looking for new ideas! Thanks
