Machinery shed build

[Robert K]

Any updates

 

[Gerbert]

Trusses finished, have my eyes on a load of second hand purlins, not much else.
Ah well, got the greenlight of the town to continue. Wasn't planning on asking but they came by.
It was never going to be quick, might aswell be another year before it's finished.

 

[Gerbert]

Formwork (is that the right english term?) for concrete pouring. And the beams to support two trusses. So instead of 5 small spaces I get 3 big ones

 

[robandles]

Yes thats the right term

 

[Gerbert]

Ah alright thanks.
I ment 2 big bays instead of 4 small ones.

 

[Gerbert]

Formwork in place. Will probably be pouring concrete this week.

What is the machine in the first photo?

 

[Gerbert]

My atlas.

 

[Gerbert]

Concrete in. Maybe end if next week we'll try to erect some trusses.

 

[Gerbert]

It's bigger then I imagened

First double bay up, now installing the inbetween-truss.

All up. Installed some purlins on the ends and top, tomorrow all trusses for the roof and the sidebeams.
Still a dickload of work to do.

It's starting to look like something with all purlins in place. Made a start with the steel bands to make triangles in the construction, making it sturdy. Anyone knows what I mean and the english term?

The cross bracing on our sheds is 75mm tube, will that hold?

 

[Gerbert]

Sure it will. Never seen tube as crossbracing, our other sheds have some fatter iron or wood. Our cowshed has the same thin stuff, some hanging lose...
I did ad some thick 30mm or so iron in the top from the second to the first purlin to ad some rigidity to the front, you can see it if you look closely. I'll ad some thin stuff to the sides to.

One roofside covered. We got a nice load of fibre plastic currogated sheet for free and that should have been enough to do the whole roof until we made it bigger than planned...
We bought new currogated fibre cement sheeds and new panels on the left hand instead. These are the sides that are in full view so hey.
