Things were going good , between my son, my brother and my brother-in law helping. I was trying to get as much done before the snow was to fly, but keep in mind I was only able to work on this on the weekends.
We were having trouble lining up the holes in the panels as they were sagging outward, the company calls it creeping . What it amounts to is the outside curves are like springs and the bends are loaded to have them line up...I thought that the lower baseplates would take care of it... i was wrong. the more we added to the building the more it creeped or sagged.
I decided to research more and in the manual there was a small one paragraph where you need to have 1 1/2" angle iron drilled at 24 1/2" centers to bolt the panels together to keep things lined up... I proceeded to "fix" things as best I could .
To make a long story short, I decide I'd skip a section and put up more panels, then put one in the middle when I get things pulled together and aligned. I am swallowing some pride here and really setting myself up for some "what the #$&@# were you thinking " comments but here's what happened. I skipped the panel and put up 7 more and braced them together...on November the 11th , I had to leave town to work on the 12th,the night of the 11th we had 152 m.p.h. gusts hit our town... here's what my wife emailed me...
