A few years back I had built a 30 wide by 40 long barn. Later added a lean too on the long side of ther barm to pull equipment in.
I am considering changing it by adding an outside wall to the lean too, and open up the inside wall. This would make it a 55 ft by 40 ft. open area.
Ther original barn has I beams in three sections
spaning 30 feet across acting a a truss.
I've been told that if I remove that one wall, then the entire building will be unstable even after everything the other walls put back on.
Any thoughts or advice would be appreciated,
I'm in central Texas in Hill County
