Metal Building Loft Design Ideas. 16' Eve's

[Ray916MN]

The lip on my beams is perfect for "2" lumber, so I used 2x12's cut to fit between the beams and aluminum thresholds to bridge between rows. Got 2x12x16s at Home Depot and they cut it to the required lengths for free.

I was looking for sheeting for the mezzanine floor. The white oak would definitely work for the shelving.

Wow your setup is awesome Ray I have to give you credit for what I've got so far. I'm loving it so far.

I know what you're talking about now. Where did you get the aluminum threshold?

The uprights look light green in color, that is Interlake brand. The bearms (horizontals) look strange in the pics, would like to see some better close ups of the whole thing. Are they aluminum?

Looks good so far.

Everything except for the 16' uprights are galvanized, not by choice but they look good. I'll take some closer pics in the morning. Thank you...

Thanks for the compliment. I hope you like the final result when you're done.

The threshold is available at Menards and Home Depot and probably Lowes. Pretty standard item. I think it is intended for use with commercial double swing doors.
