First of all, Merry Christmas to all my friends! Hope all is well for all of you!
My dad and I are considering building another farm shed, no sides or anything, just a roof.
I've got a couple mobile home frames, and we are considering using the H beams for our main beams to set trusses on, rather than wood of some kind.
My dilemma though, how do I go about figuring out what the load of those beams is, and pole spacing, span, etc. I understand the "wider" the shed is, the more weight there is, and the less I could span with the steel, meaning more poles per side. So, there has to be math to figure this out, but I am overwhelemed, and don't really know where to start? Don't really know what to use size wise for poles? I would be using full size cedar poles from the property, setting on concrete pilings.
Anyone have any advice?
My H beams are 2 3/8" wide, 8" tall, and 3/16" steel. They are 45' long. I am considering have a "V" style roof, so the two outer runs would be the same height, the center one would be considerably taller to get the correct rise/run of the roof. I would want to aim for a 4/12 pitch, because we live in snow country, and I do nottttt want to shovel! :)

Today's Featured Article - 12-Volt Conversions for 4-Cylinder Ford 2000 & 4000 Tractors - by Tommy Duvall. After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
