Looks good man, my inital plan was to use some 2 and 7/8 myself. Working in the oilfield industry i figured i could lay my hands on some pretty cheap, turns out i was wrong so i went the route i did. Really like the lean-to with the closed back, i will hopefully be adding something like that...

No problem, all you need for the frame is: 11 4x4 sq. tubing 20ft long 1 4x4 24 ft long 40 4" C purlins 20ft long 9 4" C purlins 24ft long Siding and trim: 20@10ft- walls 20@14ft- roof 2@14- ends 4@13 4@12 4@11 2@8- above the roll up door I dont have the list of trim in front of me but that...

Well the short answer to the roll up door is money ha ha. I am already thinking about adding another door on the left sidewall for both air flow and privacy as my roll up door i have now faces the road and you know how people cant help but try and look at whats going on. As far as the bracing...

Thanks for the compliments guys. Yes it went up much smoother than i had anticipated, but I did have a lot more help than i thought i would. Of course i had already built it a few hundred times in my head ha ha. I dont have anything done on the inside yet, i rigged up some temp. lighting, moved...

And the finished product. It is not documented nearly as well as some of the builds on here,But i am just proud of it and wanted to show it off ha ha.Like i said ask any questions you may have and i will answer them. I have a complete material list and even a cut sheet if anyone is interested in...

The easy way to hang a door, use a tractor.

Sidewalls and trim going on.

Roof going on.

Putting on the end walls, and you can see who the real help is ha ha. We put a lip on the slab for the edge of the siding to sit on which i think gives it a real neat edge, also you can see the asket used to seal behind the metal. Keeps the creepy crawlys from comin ha ha

Here you can see the frame completed. We put a purlin at 0,30,60, and 90" on the walls, and there are 7 runs of lathing on each side of the roof. Once the frame was squared up we welded it down to plates that we had set in the concrete.

we built both end walls and the trusses on the ground then simply sood them up one at a time welding in 3 purlins to hod them

Also i would like to say I am not a welder, nor construction guru by trade, but simply a rototing equipment tech. But if anyone has any questions about how it was built i will be glad to answer. With the help of aome friends and family we did everything ourselves with the exception of finishing...

Well this is my firt post here i have not been a member long and already have gotten many great ideas, so i thoght i would post pics of my build and maybe return the favor to someone. I just finished my shop last week, it took a total of 7 days to build, thats from putting up the form to...
