Has anyone done this before without starting from scratch? Hoping to attach a roof to existing wall supports and use the concrete base

A shed builder will be able to sort it out for you. We are currently putting a roof on an old clamp here. I had a local fabricator to make the steel for the roof and he is also sourcing the sheets and timbers etc. We will then use local contractors to put it all together.

Curious: Are they still to be used as clamps or moving to bales?
We haven't used the clamp as a clamp for at least ten years and usually use it for storing bales in now. When the roof is on it will be used for straw storage and maybe a bull pen. It's only 60x30ft. We struggled to get contractors when we needed them for silaging so moved to all bales.

Shed buildings new to me, where should I go for the steel and roofing sections? Most companies seem to provide shed kits but not individual parts
they will provide you a "kit" comprising of stations to bolt on to your existing (may require drilling to get a connection) rafters and everything else etc.

most suppliers will be able to give you a quote
