I’m tanking a group level shed, 4ft deep and 72ft x 48ft, to install plastic slats for sheep. I need to construct support for the slats
My contractor has quoted 28k to supply and install a galvanised steel mezzanine style structure using:
Posts - 254 x 146 x 31 UB
Beams - 254 x 146 x 31 UB
203 x 133 x 25 UB
This seems really overkill considering the slats are supported by fibreglass beams supplies by the manufacturers.
My contractor has assured me that using concrete pillars would cost just as much.
Does anyone have any idea how to go about this without remortgaging the house? How can I calculate the steel requirements myself?
Any guidance is greatly appreciated
