Still planning that 30'X40' barn for my 9n this spring. I noticed that some of the manufacturers use 26 guage steel and others use 29 guage. Is the difference really so great that I should be concerned? I know that I would prefer the thicker/heavier stuff, but not sure if the difference is enough to drive me from a manufacturer that I otherwise like. Anyone have any experiences with both of these?...Ron

I have had both 26 and 29 guage. A shed at the place I just sold had the 26, and the shed I just had built a little over a year ago used 29. With that being said the one with 26 guage was approx 25-30 years old and did not have one hail dent in it that I know of. The new one is a little over a year old, and had hail dents last spring. However, most of the builders price with the 29 guage unless you specify otherwise, and if you do not mind a few dents it serves the same purpose. My building also has the trusses on 8 foot centers. Works fine, but the fine print in my contract to build said they will not guarantee it to hold any load other than the structure itself (including snow load).

Some roofing tin bends or dents easier than others. Makes a difference in hail storm. Talk to sales person. Both sides have a spin as to what is better.

All metal buildings are engineered to meet load (and code) conditions for YOUR area and should come with all certifications to attest to that. When you buy a "used" or "surplus" building you may not get them and then YOU get to go to a structural engineer AND your local building overseers to get it approved for permits. If the 29 ga will meet code regarding wind loads for your area, it will be less expensive and even as a sheet metal man for 20 plus years, I say go for it. HTH jim

Looking at a 24 X 40 myself.
Most builders around here talk about engineered trusses on 8 foot centers.
That don't sound close enough together to me. Your input appreciated

8' on center is what most are doing, and generally speaking, your post would also be 8' on center carrying your roof load down to ground and it would work fine. But to put mine at 4' on center will only cost about $400 -500 more and I personally think I would be willing to pay the extra for that. Just my honest opinion...Ron

I just finished building a 24X27 pole barn. It had trusses on 9' spacing with 2x4 purlins to attach the metal to. My barn is solid as a rock.
