I have searched the net looking for a site that would have a chart that would tell me how much a odd shape piece of steel weighs per foot.
I have five of these 12 foot long square tubes that came with homestead and the scrap in the back yard . I now hope to use a couple of these for roof beams for a 12 foot wide implement shed.
Right now they are buried under a fair bit of stuff but I hope to pull them out with tractor and see if I can lift them to the bucket height my Kubota BX2660 allows me to (post and beam style building)
These square tubes are 8 inch square , and quarter inch thick steel 12 feet long.
Only one is 6 inch square and quarter inch thick steel , still 12 feet long.
Any one know any website I could figure the overall weight of these ? I hate to just use these as "pallet holders up off on the ground" , when they could be used in a future implement shed roof even if it is just the smaller one.
