I've seen a few sheds blown down like that without the sheeting on them. There is enough surface area to catch the wind from just the "C" sections.Quote:

I think it's a bit like a domino effect, one goes down and the rest being connected by the top hats or battens can't help but follow.
Barry's spot on, the bracing would have been lacking. I had used the top hats as bracing on almost every column until the permanent bracing was on.
Edit: just had a look at the first pic posted and that shows the temporary bracing. Teejay do you know if it was in place when the second pic was taken.
I have never seen such a huge spanning shed made from C section bolted back to back.
I am away out west next few days gathering some outback timber - redgum, mulga see if I can identify some gidgee :D
When I get back to office on Wednesday I will post a few more pics of the shed - looked to be simply a horendous design that was even incapable of holding itself up.
the opening of the 'C' facing rear of shed looks better, though I wish I had the opening facing the front of the shed for the end frame, oh well, there is always the next shed :-)
I am surprised a shed of that size is built with open "C" section.
Mine is same size (Totalspan shed) and all (with exception of end frame which gains some strength from the cladding) are BOXED "C" section.
Kinda puts paid to the discussion of which way to face the open side!!
Didn't cost me $40,000 either!
I guess I would like to see open sides facing the "back" - but what the heck - I want people to appreciate what is being created IN the shed!
Am going through major building project building the Retreat at present - treat the builder as a partner - discussing options, problem solving together & creating workable solutions.
I can tend to be a bit "pedantic" at times - I tend to not always want the same as everyone else - but value the experience & input from my builder in rationalising some of my ideas.
Will put up some pics when the Retreat is completed - hopefully by this years end!

Geez fellas... it doesnt matter if its 21mtrs or 100mtrs ITS A FLAMIN SHED!!... for gods sake who the bloody blue blazes is gonna even glance at the sodding uprights once its done clad powered up and machines in wood bein worked sawdust and chips everywhere?
