... Installing structure for shed with galvalume roof top. How to calculate the material strength which is best suitable. Shed should resist with air flow at 150 km/hr I sized the wooden posts, beams and purlins of my corrugated-steel-roofed sheds for a snow load of 60 pounds per square foot. They have also held up well to hurricanes and large falling oak trees. http://www.fabral.com/media/1965/sto...tall-guide.pdf There are many load tables and calculators like this on line. https://www.mycarpentry.com/rafter-span-tables.html Pressure-treated wood is often southern yellow pine (SYP). -jsw |

He needs all his time to party on Christmas Break. Oops, sorry. That's Holiday Break. Can't be religious. (unfair to Muslims/atheists) I'd go with SIPs nowadays. Pre-insulated and you can hang a bit of shelving on the inside without a problem. Rock solid, too. For a metal framing, I'd likely go square tube. Jus'cuz. What size and wall thickness should I use, scplpurchase3? I won't tell you the use for the building, what size it will be, what weather it's in, or whether it will be insulated, either. Those details might completely change your advice. "I want you to build a boat for me. How much will it cost?" -- Do not let your fire go out, spark by irreplacable spark. In the hopeless swamps of the not quite, the not yet, and the not at all, do not let the hero in your soul perish and leave only frustration for the life you deserved, but never have been able to reach. The world you desire can be won, it exists, it is real, it is possible, it is yours. -- Ayn Rand |
