   You'd get an engineer to spec what cable you need, and how the anchorages should be detailed.

   possible

   There is a few articles and possibilites to do this

   you search the forums for: rafters cable you get a few results like this one 

   another  way is via a steel sandwich found here

   or you could get a design to make them into scissor trusses

   but anyway you do it, I agree with the other comment to consult an engineer.

   Thank you!  Those were both great.

   I love the steel sandwich.

   I find the bolts get caught in my teeth, and it's really difficult to floss them out.
