I'm not following your dimensions. What's the radius, do you know or are you looking for help finding it? Is it going on top of a building with the dimensions you listed. Which dimension would be the gable end or end of the barrel. I can help, I've built a lot of these and understand the lay out well, if you'll provide info.

Your radius is 59 - 15/16" I'd tack sheets of plywood on a wood subfloor to create one piece large enough to draw the segment, then cut it out with a jigsaw. If a round "truss" is required, cut multiple pieces and lam together staggering joints.
