[QUOTE="-Pjackso, post: 4253577, member: 8119"] 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.
