Will steel grain walling spam 20ft bays and strong enough for 16ft height ?

Can steel grain walling be surcharged from both sides or just 1 ?

what kind of costs is it compared to concrete panels ?

Usually steel grain walling is placed vertically and you run a ground beam and header beam to take the load. A 20ft bay shouldn't be an issue, it would just need a larger ground and head beam. I would imagine that you can take it to 16ft high by adding additional rails mid height or 3rd points.

As for double loading, yes you would just need to make a sandwich of sheet/beams/sheet.
