So if you have any doubts about Flying Ducks honesty then I think should settle things for you.

This might be a pretty obvious question to most of you, but I have only been woodworking with my Triton for a couple of years and now want to expand and buy some more machinery.
As I said in the deleted posts, I can only imagine the manner in which FlyingDuck dealt with this poor builder.
I will let this go now and trust this wont be deleted as there are for the most part, no personal opinions expressed here, only words FlyingDuck has chosen to post.
If I didn't like the look of the C-channels and was planning to rout my cabling/ducting/airlines through 'em anyway, one of the first "customisations" to the shed I'd be looking at doing is installing access/cover plates over the open sections of channel, to limit dust buildup. (My shed's the gantry type and every time a truck rumbles by there's a wee snowstorm of falling particles. Not really good for either my health or freshly spray-finished surfaces... :()
Then, if I didn't find the appearance aesthetically pleasing it'd be my own damned fault for doing a bodgy job! :D

But as I knew you are a Barrister I concluded you wouldn't make a claim like that unless you could prove it. So I saw absolutely nothing wrong with the post...... but I'm not a mod .... thankfully
Sheds made out of C section are just so . . . .Quote:

How would you say Flying Duck if you were dislexic :D
I wouldn't have even bothered if this guy only forget to remember which story to tell.
I could start an interesting thread, but somehow I don't think it would last too long. Some people.... :((
Flying duck, was there a display shed and if so which way were the columns facing?
Like others have said, IF you don't have proof (documentation) of what you wanted then you will pay dearly for alterations. From personal experience I have found subbies erecting these things are not getting much out of it and stack a hissy fit when asked to do ANY extras.
What happened to that. :oo:Quote:

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 :-)
