I don't want to be the Joker here, BUT. as a contractor I learned quickly, here in Central NY., that eveless pole and structural steel buildings will have some real problems if you live in moderate to heavy snow country. First off, snow and ice will "creep" down the roof. As it does, it curles under the lip of the eve and when it freezes hard at night it will buckel the exterior steel under the eve. Also the water that dripps off the eaves lands and spatters agains the exterior wall, and penetrates down into the ground and migrates under the floor of the building. If there is a build up of snow and dripping water on the ground, at the base of the building,it will freeze buckling the outer steel about 2' up, and in conditions where there was no vertical frost barier below ground level the concrete floors buckeled from the frost, if not heated. My best advise to you, if you have moderate winter weather is to try to install perimiter drainage, (all #2 stone or equivilent to ground level over perfed 4" pipe) and vertical insulation (2" styro sheets), at least 2' deep. If you are planning on heating the shop, by all means put radiant tubing in the floor, That will moderate the ground level damage to the building in severe winter weather. If you think that I am BSing you, I can post some pics., of a steel building that we did not build, because we came in with a price about a grand more, for the eves and trims. Loren, the Acg.

In this segment we will finish up on our fasteners and then work with ways to keep them from loosening up in the field. Capscrews, bolts and nuts are not the only means of holding two parts together.
