[QUOTE="wbvs58, post: 1290141, member: 16453"] Using iron for the walls and roof I would build it light and anchor it to the rock as Dun suggested, threaded rod drilled in and Chemset in will hold it. I would use 2x2 galv RHS posts on corners and another along the back 2.5mm wall thickness would be heaps and then I would screw Tophat purlins around the walls, one at the top bottom and middle to screw the cladding to and similar with the roof but you will need a C section along the front to span the 20' and 3 rafters, one on each end and one in the middle to take the tophats and the the iron screw to them. The tophat purlins are very light and strong and will span 4 metres on the roof and they are very cheap. You probably don't know what I am talking about as you don't seem to build sheds with steel frames very much over there but we use nothing but steel frame sheds here and with a bit of bracing in the right places they will pass the highest cyclone rating.
