I borrowed the jacks, not much to them if you have some pipe laying around, biggest expense would be winches and cable. I had 5 on a 18' bin, we usually try to go 1 on each seam for bigger bins.
The stiffeners will be whatever size I can find at the scrap yard, was told they had some 2" angle in long pieces. I'm going to go look after work tomorrow. I have a fan set in the door blowing out right now, plan to leave it on for a week, probably take me that long to get angle iron and drill and put on and put in the door. I'm going to try to get set up to move a little air in there somehow.
The shed is 50X80, put it up myself. Has good and bad points. Can't drive a nail in wall to hang anything or put up shelves. Moisture collects on arches and when it warms up, it rains inside. Would like to have one end closed off to have a shop area to heat and work in, but haven't found a cheap way to insulate yet. Spray on is kind of pricey. I like the straight sidewalls, can pull 750 MF with 4 row corn head up next to wall, leave enough room to walk between wall and head and still have roof clearance. If I had to do it over again, I'd probably have a pole barn, BUT the neighbor up the road 1/4 mile has had the end tore out of his pole barn 2 times in the last 6 or 7 years and I haven't had any trouble with that yet. I think you have more options to add onto if you want to at a later date with a pole barn. All I can do is go longer on 1 end. Took 4 people 2 weeks to put up 40 arches, and I was beat when we got done, I did end walls by myself after work and weekends and it took a month to get them done. Go somewhere and look long and hard at one before buying, talk to owner and ask questions. It would have to be at least 1/2 price of a pole barn before I would tackle one again. Not sure if it is possible to get enough ventilation inside with out leaving doors open. Chris
