Pole barn construction?

We just bought some land that has the steel tubing frame for a lean-to type barn that is 16x50x10. My question to someone is how you attach the corrugated tin or metal to the poles? We have no idea and I have seen several barns of this type in south Texas and cannot get close enough to see how they were put together. We thought about U-bolts and they are pretty expensive and wondered if anyone knew of a better or cheaper way? It would be nice if someone could direct me to a site with information or give me detailed info on how they built their own. Please help!

Some of the metal buildings use special bent sheet metal "girts" and "purlins" that attach to the framework with special selftapping screws or bolts. These sheet metal parts are thinner than the structural members and the thin metal skin is attached to this additional framework with smaller, cheaper self-tapping screws.

I would suggest checking with a metal building company that advertises all metal buildings. They can probably steer you to the right components and make suggestions on how to complete your building. I also would suggest asking about installing a vapor barrier insulation pack under your outer metal skin. In my area, metal buildings without this feature drip condensation inside real bad under some weather conditions. Good luck--getting up the framework is half to building a shed.

I have built several small buildings with tubing frames and used bolts to attach planks to the metal and then you can nail or screw your tin or planks to the wood. All of mine were movable but the biggest was a calf shelter that we also use in the garden as a greenhouse. It is 10' wide, 28 ' long and is 7' wide at the front and slopes back to 6' at the back. Hope that helps.

They most likely use "self-tapping" screws. They are a super tough, jumbo sheet metal screw with a funny blade type tip that will "drill" into the metal part to affix to. Once a small hole is started, the threads catch and the screw goes in.

Go to any hardware store or home improvement store and a good clerk should be able to help you find self-tapping screws of the appropriate size.
