4\" C Purlin Span
I am building a basic little pole shed for the tractor and mower..
I am setting some 3" pipes I have for corner posts, and was thinking of just spanning the 20' with 4" C Purlins that I also have and just screwing the tin to the top. Will the 4" purlins hold a span that long, or do I need to go to a larger purlin?
My tin is 26" x 12'. I was thinking of going 10 sheets wide x 1 sheet long. With like a 1' drop from rear to front. I want to just use the 4 posts on the corners without putting any posts in the middle to keep all of my space open if possible.
What say you folks ?
