30′ × 50′ shop with a lean-to
A residential shop framed in double leg tubular steel, with 1,500 square feet inside and covered space under the lean-to.
What the building had to do
Thirty by fifty gives 1,500 square feet of enclosed floor with no posts across the thirty-foot width. The lean-to adds covered space outside the main walls for anything that needs a roof but not a door.
Why tubular
Tubular steel has the lowest installed price of the frames we supply, and at thirty feet wide this building sits well inside tubular’s sixty-foot range. Tubular is quoted installed, so the kit and the crew come as one number.
On a double leg frame, each column and rafter is built from two tubes instead of one, so the frame carries more load than a single-leg frame of the same size.
Same width, longer building. Our shop with a lean-to is also thirty feet wide with a lean-to, stretched to sixty feet long.
