Hi guys,

Need some structural help. I am putting up a 12x24 foot woodshed/boiler room, using bigfoot/sono-tube piers every 8 feet down the long sides.

The boiler itself is going to way close to 1500lbs. What kind of framing would easily support 1500lbs (in a 2x4' area) without problems? I'd rather double and triple up beams/joists rather then add extra cement supports underneath if possible.

Thanks.
