pipe trusses

Posted by Comfortking on December 29, 2005 at 19:42:07 from (67.138.127.200):

I am going to add a lean-to on the side of one of my sheds. I want to add 24 foot. I have a bunch of six inch ID pipe with quarter inch walls. Pipe came off of a high pressure fuel line. I thinking of using it for post and for the rafters. I would weld the rafter to the pipe post and then bolt the other end to the wood post of the existing building. Will this pipe be strong enough to span 24 feet spaced on 9 foot centers, this is the spread of the post on building. All of the pole barns around here have the trusses on 8 or 9 foot centers. Anyone have a guess if this will work?
