Really not trying to be a pain in the azz, but those 2x4 laying on the flat are going to bow under any kind of weight, and I agree with the others,...the headers are under sized.
Rebuild it now, before you load it with wood, or get any snow.
Do a search on here for woodsheds, and the ones you find will have been built the way we're suggesting. Just trying to help.
Props to 'ya for building a shed, though.

I agree with Dave. I think the trusses should be turned vertical, and add some meat to the headers as well. I would hate to see all that hard work go to waste when you have a foot of wet snow up there. Otherwise nice use of the lattice.
