How much???

What would be the cost of removing a dutch barn roof and fitting a apex roof. 20ft wide 45ft long the steel uprights are in good condition.

Interesting, lv a similar barn, a main high roof for wee square bales.

Thats what ours is for.. Hay and straw storage.. Lean too on one side which we use for machinery which we were able to re sheet are selfs few years ago. Wind last week end ripped a curved sheet off though. Cant repair it though as the rest of the sheets are rusted so nothing to fit new sheets too. A new wooden or steel apex structure fitted to the existing steel uprights then trusses across to sheet on to will be just the job.

Mine needs a paint and some joints patching, anyone had a quote to paint one, same size as above.

Do you mean currently a curved roof?
If so speak to bussens & vigrass. Keep the curve, why change it?especially with price of new steel framework at the mo.

You could probably even do something with solar so you’ve always got some panels at optimum angle?? Could look quite cool if you got it right!

I may be wrong but I doubt the steels of the Dutch barn would be strong enough to support the forces of an apex roof.
