Bandsaw angle for sheds

What sort of angle would be needed for cutting rsj’s for sheds looking at buying a new bandsaw around the three hundred mill meter mark was wondering if that would be larger enough for most ag sheds. Looking at the alligator 280 double miter saw but was Wondering if that would be big enough as don’t want to have to cut with plasma or torch if I can help it.
 
Can’t afford anything bigger unless second hand it’s hard finding a decent one with all the specs I want. A lot of them only have those sh!t vices that you have to adjust
 
It's not dear angle cut, we have a bomar saw fully automatic hell of a saw bought 2nd hand
The 280 aligator is around 5200-5400 new thr next one up is +1k more and I am in rural wales literally nothing anywhere near me and if there is it’s seen better days and no swivel head. Driven hours before to see something that the coolant pump is broken or brrn told that they don’t have three phase to test
 
Get them pre cut waste of time cutting them yourself.
Ye might be but I do steel fabrication and aluminium all I wanted to know what sort of angle is the average sheds cut to. If the girders are cut to around 15 degrees on average can get away with a smaller saw, if they are closer to 40 then obviously much larger saw is needed. Just wanted to know roughly what sort of angles they are cut to as either way I’m buying a bandsaw

Standard agricultural roof pitch is 15 degrees. I have a bandsaw with a 600mm capacity and thought about making wedges to fit the jaws at the necessary angles rather than adjusting a perfectly set up saw. I just bought the beams cut to size and angle though, no waste and no wasted time.

12.5, 15, 17.5, 22 and 30. Any other sizes are for tin roofs only. The fiber cement ridges would determine that.

15 degrees is average farm shed .

Sounds too small. A 305 beam would be common size rafter these days. Everything was speced up after 2010.
