What brand of paint sparyer is good for painting outside decks and porches. With a good reputation of quality?

So if I put the rafter ties every 4' then I should be OK. Is this the same as ceiling joist. Are they nailed to the plate or the rafter or both.

I built it all ready and the walls didn't bow out or squat but I am going to put rafter ties every 4' @ 1 x 4 anyway for saftey and can I do the same for collar ties. The wall has a top plate and bottom plate of 2 x 4 and the beam is 2 - 2 x 6.

I have a question on building a gable roof, I installed rafters (2x6) on a 2x8 ridge beam 14'-4" length, width 13'-1" of wall. Do I have to put cross ties and how many. I have 11 rafters on each side 16" on ctr. Pitch is 4-12. The lenght of rafters is about 8'. I took the design from family...
