Im needing a place to park my mowers and 56 Ford 600 tractor out of the rain. I picked up a bunck of corrogated steel to do cover 14' by 20' I also got 2 4x4 steel posts. The question is what do I use for the rafters and framing? A friend says pressure treated pine, while my uncle says go with metal.

hell fish, before you use pressure treated, do some research to make sure the chemicals in the lumber will not react negatively with the steel.

When you are covering wood with aluminum, the aluminum is clearly labeled to not be used with pressure treated lumber.
