Had a good couple days putting frame together . We aren’t done yet but it seems to be going quite wellView attachment 85388

Looks a really good structure - I’ve not seen one like that before. Where did you get that?

My right hand man says put in a urinal rather than a normal toilet , no need to encourage them in .

alright for number ones

Hopefully will be a bit better now working on plant and vans inside in the winter . It’ll also fit a 13 tonner in through the doors !

I possibly wouldn’t be taking on jobs in the highlands, but you never know

I'm very often caught by Pam admiring the steelwork in shops/supermarkets .... there are some impressive buildings about, when you stop and look

How about this ones front A frame.

some serious quantity of flying connections in that can't see why and jesus that is a flat pitch

Know the feeling, security guards find it highly suspicious
When Dysons put up the frame for their company gym in Malmesbury it was a truly gorgeous sight, semi-eliptical rolled steel trusses in white gloss

is that one of them pressed tin things Vin ?? looks a decent solid one

I think so , it’s folded steel galvanised . It’sSupplied by Steadmans it’s pretty solid though

Its to hold a full width sliding door so needs to be seriously strong and the pitch is pretty normal, photo just makes it look shallow.

will it be damned .... doesn't look that big

It’s 8m x 13m 3.5m to eaves

it looks one of the better ones I've seen .... some look like they're struggling just to stand there

Company called Murray steel buildings , I had to get an engineer to do an SER as it’s classed as domestic so it was beefed up a bit because of that . It it was agricultural I wouldn’t have needed to .

It’s got to electric doors in the gables . 3.6m wide 3.3 full opening .
We haven’t built the gable panels yet . Next job is the eaves beams then the gable columns

don't see any wind bracing Vin? presumably it has some?

It’s from a company called Murray steel buildings . They can engineer them for wind loads up here so I was happy with that . I’ve done bases for their buildings before and they seemed pretty good . Certainly been good to work with since I opted for self build and their own fitters are available on the phone and really helpful when I have a query . I also got lucky as I paid for 40 mm insulated building but I ended up with a 60mm building as they had quoted me for both and although I paid for the 40mm I ended up with the 60mm !

What do you mean wind bracing Graham ?
It’s got 12no 1400 x 1600 x 600 pads under the slab that have resin anchored steels into the slab they structurally hold it up and also hold it down to assist with wind load .
The frame isn’t finished yet , it has some cross bracing to go in the bay walls and the roof .

I need to “ cold cut “ some of the sheets in the gable . They have 60mm insulation so are probably close to 100mm at widest point . What can I cold cut with ? I asked a t local hire shop for cold cut circular saw but they don’t have any . Any ideas what I can use to do these cuts ?

The cladders doing the buildings we are on at the moment use a recipe saw for it. If it's really got to be accurate they have a Makita circular saw but 90% is being done with a recipe then covered with flashing and filled with expanding foam.
