Ten feet seem like a long span for a 2x4 but that is how his is built. He said he was told that would hold much more weight. Another buddy says I should build it like his lean to and skip the girders and bolt 2x10x16' from front to back directly to my poles then stand up the 2x4 purlins on top of that. That seems like over kill to me but I am not sure. I have one friend that say he wouldn't go less than every two feet for rafters. Will that be strong enough? Do I need the girders on the backsides of the poles too? I was then going to lay down 2x4x12' purlins every two feet from front to back (overlapping them) from side to side for the metal to lay on. My thoughts is to go with 2x10x10' across the front and back of the building (girders?) then stand 2圆x16' rafters every four foot on top of them front to back. However, in the 10 years I have lived here we have had a foot once or twice. I live in southern Illinois and we do not get much snow. I got the poles already set on 10' centers, 8 feet high in the back and 11 feet in the front. I am trying to do this as economical as possible so I am going with a mono slope roof. I have enough room for a 16'x 40' shed (open on 40' side). I been checking with my local coop and finally got some utility poles. He gave me all the metal and decent 2圆 lumber from it. I helped a friend tear down a metal shed last year that got partly damaged (built around 1980). I want to build a small three sided equipment shed to house my implements.
