Im a welder that grew up in decatur tx glad to see someone local posting full build videos.

Great video. I was a metal building erector for 40 years. Truly enjoyed my work. No one had equipment like you have then to pick up your steel. I only had a forklift but it done the job. Keep up the good work and vidoes. Utube can get your business started and make you some money. I subscribed. Looking forward for your next video.

Question: I don’t know if you BBC oils answer, but is a metal building suppose to wiggle once it has been finished?

Hello and greetings. I would like to thank you for recording such videos, which help people like me a lot. I have a request from you. My request is that you help me to build the halls I want. My hall has an opening of 30 meters, but without the middle column at a height of 6 meters. I want to know with what size H beam I can build these halls. I will build it. Of course, if the opening is 30 meters, it will answer. If it doesn't answer, I can make the opening of the shed up to 23 meters. I am waiting for your correct answer. I thank you again for your help. I wish you a good day.

@gateway builders Nice work. I am curious is this more cost-effective than ordering a prefab red iron building? What is the main reason for stick building versus prefab in this instance. Thanks for posting

It the moment weld up buildings are the most cost effective shop. Bolt ups are more expensive because your paying a material supplier to fabricate

Do y'all have a general rule of thumb when it comes to picking the size of your I-beams?

@GatewayBuilders

3 жыл бұрын

Yes depending on gable vs flat roofs we have different ibeam that support different weights. On a normal 30ft wide build we use 8” 15#, but on a 40ft wide we use 12” 16# or 19#.

Great video... until I saw made in Mexico on the Steel 😢

Really appreciate you showing how it is done. Do you weld some sort of plate to the top of your posts for the beam to sit on or is the post open at the top?
