First of all, Merry Christmas to all my friends! Hope all is well for all of you!
My dad and I are considering building another farm shed, no sides or anything, just a roof.
I've got a couple mobile home frames, and we are considering using the H beams for our main beams to set trusses on, rather than wood of some kind.
My dilemma though, how do I go about figuring out what the load of those beams is, and pole spacing, span, etc. I understand the "wider" the shed is, the more weight there is, and the less I could span with the steel, meaning more poles per side. So, there has to be math to figure this out, but I am overwhelemed, and don't really know where to start? Don't really know what to use size wise for poles? I would be using full size cedar poles from the property, setting on concrete pilings.
Anyone have any advice?
My H beams are 2 3/8" wide, 8" tall, and 3/16" steel. They are 45' long. I am considering have a "V" style roof, so the two outer runs would be the same height, the center one would be considerably taller to get the correct rise/run of the roof. I would want to aim for a 4/12 pitch, because we live in snow country, and I do nottttt want to shovel! :)

Today's Featured Article - Tractor Traction - by Chris Pratt. Our first bout with traction problems came when cultivatin with our Massey-Harris Pony. Up till then, this tractor had been running a corn grinder and pulling a trailer. It had new unfilled rear tires and no wheel weights. The garden was already sprouting when we hooked up the mid-mount shovel cultivators to the Pony. The seed bed was soft enough that the rear end would spin and slowly work its way to the downhill side of the gardens slight incline. From this, we learned our lesson sinc
