[AT] Metal building - now non metal building :-)

[Michael P. Maynard]

Sorry guys, I misinterpreted it to be the 'hoop' bolt together style,
Quonset or 'U' shape, just the theory of assembly I thought he was asking
about.

The building that started the thread is a hoop type building with a short 
straight wall section instead of the continuous curve like a traditional 
q-hut.   I thought that was what Farmer was talking about as well.

Farmer I don't have one but know of several ranging in age from a few years 
to about 30 years.  All of them seem to hold up great.  I haven't heard of 
any problems with them once you get them up.  Getting them put up is the 
biggest challenge.  Some go up easily others seem to be a struggle.  Not 
having actually put one up myself, I don't know if it's the building, the 
erector or both that cause the problems.  I did help with one one the first 
day they worked on it just because they needed some extra help.  That 
particular one was a pain to get up but it appeared to be the fault of the 
guys putting it up.  They had never built much of anything let alone one of 
these buildings.  On top of that they didn't get the base channel and anchor

bolts correctly located on the slab.  Fortunately on their building the base

channel just bolted down to a flat slab.  They cut off the incorrect anchor 
bolts and used red heads to correct the problem.

I thought Karl built the bolt together quonset hut metal building. I am
talking about the hoop truss and tarp type building. At least that's what I
thought farmer was asking about.
