View attachment 472704View attachment 472705View attachment 472706Sunday one of my boys helped me get metal on the other 1/2 roof. Ran out of screws
Right now it's just storage, but I may eventually close in 1/3 of it for a shopGoing to have a nice big shop if it is a shop, or is it for storage?
I am very concerned about the wind and storms we have here and the damage it may cause the structure.Awesome pics, and great progress!
Looking good....
BUT - I have concerns about the legs.
I know you welded the pipes to the bottom of the truss so that it'd be taller. (Who wouldn't want a taller shop) But I'm concerned about the pipes.
In short, you have a tall rigid structure (truss system) put on top of small pipes. Any lateral wind load will try to flex the shop - and the pipes (and welds) are what will flex the most. Over years it may fatigue the pipes/welds.
I'm not a shop builder, so I don't know what's generally acceptable for shops this size. Thoughts?
It'll probably be fine, just my passing thoughts.
