I've suspected the same thing for a while, which is partially why I'm building it in a usable now, but easily modifiable later design. I wanted to taper the sidewalls like in my mock-up picture with wood, but that made my usable space a bit too tight in the rear.
The 'template' is a 3-D structure. It's plan-view taper mimics the roof contour.
