What size steels?

[Mrfarmjunk]

Hi all,
Thinking of doing a little project,
Lean to building,
3 15ft bays, 20ft deep.
12ft to eaves at the front.
Box profile roof.
What size steel should I use for the uprights?
What size steel for the rafters?
How much fall does the building need from back to the front?
Cheers, only a little job I know. Keep me busy.

If you want me to supply the steel in kit form you can self build!

I quoted exactly the same today (you're not Joe are you?)

If you email me [email protected] I just need your postcode for the engineering and I'll confirm a supply price for you! (Nice project) - Has got to be better than putting a trampoline up... over X-Mas "Thanks John Lewis"

178x102 19 will be ok for posts and rafters if you want to push the boat out use 203x133x25 posts 7x3 timbers and 0.7 roof sheet in one length cut the roof pitch down to 6 deg if you like (640mm over 20 ft) give you more height at the back

is it ok to go to 6 degree pitch, my shed builder said he does 12 degrees

 

[EasySteelBuildings.Co.Uk]

10 degree is okay 6 would mean all brackets need to be customised which would cost more than its worth!

Which brackets would need to be customised?

it depends on the roofing material you intend using and is it a portal,lean to or mono pitch what reason would you like to go at 6 deg

is it the cold rolled buildings that you supply and erect?

 

[EasySteelBuildings.Co.Uk]

Both Hot & Cold but the smaller frames are suited to cold rolled unless specifically stated that Hot is required.

Guide for cold 15m span & 6m height (e.g 20') length can be as long as you like!
