Nice shed, Is the header supporting the front opening a purchased item?

Thanks, I've never seen one like that around here.

The header was built in the shop of the guys that put it up, they build and install outdoor wood furnaces, either water or hot air whichever you want.

Nice shed! My grandpa does that for a living up here in NW Oregon. He uses his bobcat with the auger to drill holes then puts poles in the ground. Once that is done, the trusses ranging up to 80 feet (I helped with the 80 footers) and use the scisserlift to get everything together and tight. Throw the metal on and screw it down. Then admire the work for 10 seconds as you clean up the tools and head home.

Great job with the shed and pics top follow the progress...looks fantastic. Wonder if you have the plans too? Wonder is there could/should be a category for project plans?

Any who..love the shed!

Thanks, don't have the plans, they're in Noah's (that's the fellow that built it) head, I hope he's working an an Ark with all the rain. I think the category for project plans is a good one, have to mention that to the higher ups.

I think there are some plans for these style sheds are in the pole building construction book sold at TSC. There is also a plan for a similar one in Practical Pole Building Construction by Leigh Seddon. The plans call for 6x6 posts, 2x6 siding girts, 2 x10 rafter girts (one on each side of the support poles) 2 x 10 rafters and a 2x 10 sill girt.

If Milkman would post the dimensions of the framing lumber used, you could probably figure out the "plans" pretty quickly.

Very nice looking shed.

Looks like that header is a DIY open web steel joist. Neat idea for handling that long span.

I assume that your contractor welded it up in his shop. Any details and photos on the design of that joist (materials used, welding details).

I'd like to use your shed design for a couple of 20x28 ft equipment sheds I need to build on my 10-acre place. Last year a built a pole frame shed with an entire wooden frame. Used pairs of 4x12s for the 28-ft span. Needed middle posts for that design. Would like to eliminate those posts by using your design.

The header looks like a standard steel bar joist with tabs welded to the side to attach the rafters. Did they fabricate the entire joist or just take a standard joist and weld tabs to it? What are the dimensions of the bar joist?
