Were wanting to use our crittal bins as walling around the existing shed. How do people do this? What kind of support do they need as the posts wont be strong enough?
There are several thicknesses of the Crittall stuff, I used the thickest, 8 foot sheets on end between the posts with a piece of strong 4 inch channel on top, was OK but I never pushed it. Possibly, this advice is worth exactly what you paid for it, a professional bit of advice would be best.Were wanting to use our crittal bins as walling around the existing shed.

That's the problem there here just lying around. I was thinking of using the corner posts bolted to the floor and then on the top of the panels too.they need to be sat in channel at ground level which has to be tight(we pressed them in with loadall headstock), you can then tec screw them to a similar channel 3/4 of the way up.
did miles of the stuff last year 10' sheets, we thought we could leave sheets in pairs/threes and save time but easier to strip down to singles, also is easy if your on a level floor if not you must start at lowest point with full sheet then pretty much cut them all, its not a quick job and 12 months down the line had we not had them lying about from a job would've used concrete panels,
I did one like that 20 years ago and it survived until I lost that farm, piling the grain to about 12 feet high in the middle and up to the top of three horizontal sheets at the edges in a 40 foot wide barnThinking of converting an old shed here, and have plenty of panels spare. Any more tips on how to do? Was thinking of using 3 panels horizontal, existing bays are18' and then putting new strong intermediate post in???
