steel frame buildings

[tuck]

Has anyone put one of these up, I wondering how hard it was to put up, if you needed any special equip. Do you like it?

Steel buildings are easy to build. How big of one are you going to build?

I put one up I started it and had to have the company come and finish alot of nuts and bolts hard with one person especially at the beginning I did 3/4 of it and got tired of it have moved since then it worked for the money it cost, loud when it rained. Have a scaffolding ready and wrenches caulking too

Do you need a crane or other type of lift, like a fork lift?

 

[shutskytj]

No crane I had a bucket loader tractor but you really don't need that just some help to balance it and line up the holes not real heavy each piece. There were I think 4 sections to each arch that was put together on the ground then each arch would be lifted and bolted together. The first few are the hardest until they start locking themselves together then it gets easier.

So how do you lift the arches?

Friends and one friend up on the scaffolding the arches aren't real heavy just hard to balance
