Finally we are building a workshop

Hey Rgillard-

Looks like you are off to a good start on a new workshop. That is very exciting! You are right about steel prices being very high. I used steel poles in my pole barn workshop and they were pretty expensive.

Good luck with your project and have fun!

Looking great. Weather looks a bit damp.

You can correct the 'wrong picture' by going to 'edit' and deleting that one, if you'd like. /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

2 trusses down one to go

 

[Rgillard]

between each upright we put lengths of 1" box section between them to screw the sheeting to

 

[Rgillard]

once all the sections had been placed between the uprights it was time to lift the trusses. On each end of the trusses we welded 8 inches of 1 1/2" box which would sit into the 2" uprights. This left it very easy then to weld

first truss up.

Great job !!!
I assume all the tubing is 1/8" wall?
Cheers!

once the three trusses were up it was time for a test of strength. The brother decided to do his monkey party piece. it held him no probs which was a relief

 

[Rgillard]

lengths of steel were then run lengthwise on the trusses

hadnt got a big enough ladder to put the welder so some improvisation had to be done.im sure a safety officer would have a field day with me
