" A" style steel building

[newbury]

OLD thread from 2013.

I'm back...

The idea I used was to cut the lumber as long as you can and actually wedge it in from the side to stand straight .
Then attach with self tapping screws My wood was held in tight enough that I needed no screws until I installed the siding and the outside metal rounded piece.

any pics of how you attached the lumber to the steel for the front wall? I just put up a 50x30 and I want to install a used 12x12 steel roll up door and am very nervous about the weight of it. My grandfather had a larger one in his building but it is gone now and cannot see how it was done.

You realize this is a 5 year old thread? The OP hasn't been on this sit in almost 5 years.


Nevermind.

Actually I looked at first poster on this page, who's been inactive since 13. I didn't notice I was on page 3 and not looking at the OP

wow. That does not look wedged in to me. It almost looks like they are free standing. What size lumber is that? 2x6? I am still waiting on a door guy to tell me how to frame for a 12x12 steel roll up. He is really slow at getting back to me.So I am at a standstill. Appreciate you taking the time and for pics.

did you stand up each piece one at a time and then toe nail them to base plate? Or did you build a partial wall and stand it all up? The company I bought building from failed to send me the last piece of building. The outer angle trim piece at top that is supposed to have the sign on it I guess.They want me to pay for it and the shipping. That's crazy! well I must go out and figure out some other carpentry stuff.

I put one at a time so I could pound them over to be tight top and bottom and straight. . The outside piece your missing also helps form the shape of the front!

Yeah that piece is sort of important.You have one I see maybe it's mine...lol. Asked a company around here if they make them, no answer yet.You would think the company would send me the piece no questions asked considering they forgot to send it. They are willing to lose thousands in sales over a 20 dollar piece . I will not give them any promotion that's for sure.I laid one sill plate yesterday and tried a pattern for the uprights. It looks like each one will be cut differently so a pattern is no good to me.I built an extra heavy header for my 12 x 12 garage door so hopefully no sag in it.Made it from 4 2x8's and sandwiched in pieces of plywood to bring it out to 7.5 inches and glued and nailed it. Did you have someone install your overhead door? I bought a 12 x 12 steel roll up but it needs the chain block reduction and not sure how to figure out which one I need.So I am thinking of selling it and going with overhead.
