It's the trusses, they are tall, which makes them very stable
It's a pole barn. Least that's what they call them. So the roof is trussed.
The walls have R19 in them. Just have to figure out what to put above the walls to the ceiling.

Company that did mine. There are a number of companies that do them and these guys have built thousands.
They have 2x6's that connect the trusses together then the metal roof goes on top of that. Not much snow has even stayed on the roof, seems to slide off really easy.Trussed or not, it just looks like a long ways between trusses to support snow loads
Trusses themselves look doubled and STOUT.
Just odd seeing that much area between them.
The 2x6 stringers that the metal screws to are calculated in as part of the structural calcs. That building will be around a lot longer than most of us will be.
Got these up too.
Funny thing is, is just about all my cabinets are pretty empty. Most of the stuff is on shelves in the Conex part of the shop.

I got some paint on the walls. It was a bit hot, 104 today, no real A/C in the shop yet.
I bet it dried fast at least.
As I was putting it on ....
Different type of building Dave. Mine is a pole barn. I am guessing that they build then nation wide, well somebody does.
Hmm
Less snow load
Yup. The major cities around here are at about 4000', but being a desert, we rarely get more than 1' of snow that lasts for any length of time. Plus, our snow is extremely dry. Makes for the best skiing around.
Mine are only on the poles too.
It's a different design, both work and I don't believe the code anywhere specifies the spans, the structural engineer does and he is responsible for it. Your posts and trusses are massive multiple layers and the runners horizontally are resting on them.
What is that span? 6 feet? 8 feet?
2x6 would be good up to 10 feet span
