[QUOTE="goldeneagle, post: 8019426, member: 18962"] A lot of original design didn’t have a lot of allowance for agricultural conditions. Steels strength is from its section and have never heard of corrosion allowances for portal frames. And having seen many an ag portal frame heavily corroded would say that any extra strength is a blessing, the saving grace is galvanising but not always opted for and some substances still attack it. Appreciate steel is costly at moment but the additional cost of a heavier larger section is excellent value for money compared to a disaster 10,30 or 40 years down the line. It is interesting to get quotes for same shed from multiple manufacturers and see the large variances in weights and sections proposed, all down to detail and engineers comfort factor. You could get an engineer to get round using smaller sections but additional details added and engineers time would negate any savings I would suspect. [/QUOTE]
