Vertical, I don't know why it wouldn't. That's pretty big pipe. I would be concerned though holding up the shed side by only fastening it to the shed, if I'm reading you correctly. Yep, I'd absolutely fasten it to the shed, but I'd have vertical supports under that edge too. A lot of people don't think about that weight being supported when they build decks, porches, etc, and is usually the first place of failure when those horizontal lag bolts (whatever) fail or pull loose from stress, then collapses at that point.

Just be careful, spend a couple more $$$, and support that edge too. Might save your equipment and life down the road.

6" pipe for vertical supports? Man, wished I'd had that problem when I built the barn. Might've even filled them with sand and capped them off.
