Shed extension

I have a large cement yard that was used for loading beet etc, but now that industry is dead here was looking at option of extending a shed that is there for sheep cheaply. Yard has 8 foot concrete walls all round it built in early 80s a lean to makes up one side 64x24 with same 8ft wall making 64ft lower front end of the lean to. This old lean to is connected to old round roof inside silage pit with 10 ft concrete walls from 80s also. Current lean to with exception of one open 24 ft end is surrounded by concrete walls.

Was thinking of putting another lean 2 out from the current one using the wall of the current lean 2 as back of the new one, and one end of new lean to being wall of yard. This would mean only need steel and roof with no concrete for the shed, question is would I need to put in new uprights for the back of the shed or could I use the uprights from the other lean to for the back end?

hope this makes sense as confusing me tbh....

The up rights are probably ok but getting sufficient fall across the shed might reduce the shed working height to allow a tractor in ............

get you, so probably better put in new 12ft uprights at back and then work out way of slight overhang over old shed lean to roof with new gutters etc...:scratchhead:
shed / house design confuse me tbh and my grandfather was a architect.....
