Shed steel question

[massey 6480]

Lad`s planning on putting up a slatted shed here at home going doing the shed ourselves . Have drawings done up for the shed and happy with them . Only issue is on the position of the bracing for the front over hang of the shed . It`s a leanto shed with a 10ft over hang over the feed passage Over hang roof angle is 10deg Would get litte to no snow here . Question is how far out on the roof truss should i go to put the brace and how far down the standing pillar should it go . Shed is going to be made from ipe200 . See pic which might explain it better .

Why do you need a brace? Are you making it out of steel?

Edit: just read it, why are you using IPE200?

Yes out of steel ipe 200 i recon i`ll use . Any shed i`ve seen around here would have a brace similar to what`s in my drawing .

Would i get away with less than ipe 200 .

Why did you decide on IPE 200?

I'd reduce your span to 8' if your going to brace it.

Personally I'd use a slightly bigger size steel and put a haunch in

No. It's spanning a fair distance at 7.45m

That`s the size i`ve seen in similar style shed`s .Most shed`s around here would only have a 8 ft over hang . Reason for going for 10ft is there`s another shed running parralell to where this one is going and hoping the larger over hang would give it more shelter . There`ll be just 6 ft between roofs with the larger over hang .

I have a 17' lean-to with no brace and a fibre cement roof,it has a decent haunch though.

Any chance of a pic .

good to have a go yourself but what is that? whats the brace inside the shed for? Put a haunch on each connection and be done with it.

 

[massey 6480]

Said I'd post a pic of how the shed is looking as of today

A few more pic`s of how the shed turned out . Roof has since been put on but don`t seem to have a pic of that .
