Installing Cee Purlins On Our Weld Up Shop Building - off grid - Terlingua - Texas

- We've got posts up and we're tossing c channels up then welding in cee purlins. I've looked everywhere and I see almost no one on youtube doing weld up buildings and not a single one building like this. However, I see tons of buildings built like this down here and the hold up great. Wonder why there are so few weld up buildings on youtube?
Very intertening I See my self doing the same good job.
Wow! Making great progress. Good job! Can’t wait to see it when we’re back in the neighborhood.
Thanks Omar! We're still expecting you for Tacos one of these days ;)
Thanks for posting! I've had trouble finding structures built like this too!
Great mountain view from the camera! Good that you've got Lisa into the fabricating business also; looks like you need a few more sets of hands - or a crane.
Thanks! Yeah, I think she likes playing with the plasma cutter :) I think if we had more hands, we'd just have idle hands. There's a few moments here and there where another person would be nice but then there's a lot of one person time unless they can weld and we had another machine. We're not in a hurry though, so it's fine. Now that we've done a few, we have it down and can do a full bay in a morning :)
I lost track of you guys since I somehow accidentally turned off all notifications on my TH-cam subscriptions. Probably too late now, but I have a section of that yellow scaffolding sitting outside my place. You are welcome to borrow it for as long as you like... for more height.
Great progress, by the way!!
Great video!
Great video as always. Up here in Virginia getting things together for my journey there. Can't wait to get down there and see y'all and get started on my journey too. Be safe stay cool. See y'all soon
Thanks! I remember running around buying stuff and getting everything loaded up to head down. Exciting times, see you soon ;)
Great project.
Im finally ready to start my tiny cabin myself but have zero experience i hope you dont mind the questions.
What size are your colums to include gage. Same question for your girts and cee purlins.
Im planing on using 4x4x1/8 colums. Any advice would be great thanks. My building is 15x26 w a 2/12 pitch
Hope y'all are doing good haven't seen a video from y'all in a while
Nice!
You guys ok? Have not heard a peep. Hope all is well.
Can ask i questions is that from whirlwind steel building
Yah, I love your little cradles made to hold the C-channel in place, and the use of push boards to scoot things over, and multiple ladders and scaffolds. Hah. That's how we do it I solo built for years. You're right that you won't find many instances online of your build method, because you are stepping off into the creative. We all do that in building but school yourself rigidly in tragedy-think. Out-think your future failures. It becomes a habit that improves over time -- yours has. For instance, realize that your framing is "thin," right? Meaning you're not using heavy rigid frame beams and posts beneath your purlins, so you want to compensate for that. I would want to cut some strong angle clips to weld at every outside corner where your C-channel eave struts are meeting at those corners, and even add additional cross braces, two or three foot sections of channel cut and welded at 90-deg angle into that corner, so you buttress them against very strong lateral forces. Because you know they'll be tested by high winds approaching hurricane strength, and that may last for days. I would want cross-bracing rods extending under all your channel framing rafters, since there is no heavy rigid metal beams under it to fasten and hold in place. Cross-bracing will stiffen them for you, into a single unit that wants to resist lateral forces together. As for purlins, they are typically cross-hatching, in the sense that they form as gap-filling members across spans between heavy metal load bearing columns and beams. Essentially your end walls will function as posts and beams, which is doable, yet they should be made very strong , to stand against all forces lateral and vertical. Then you can sleep at night. C-channel steel is strong but weak in some uses. Think of framing a large barn using only wooden 2x6's, for instance. Those are strong but limited; yet they can be doubled or tripled and then more posts placed under them to bear them up if needed, etc as compensation. You get better strength out of them that way, but at the same time they will want to rattle and move independently under stresses, unless they are bound tightly together as single units to resist those forces. And too, you have to brace, brace, brace everywhere against weak corners, maybe against all corners. You can hardly OVER-brace. BE WIND, you might say -- then out think it. Visualizing your finished building with a metal roof on it and standing proudly there against a hard persistent blow that wants to stress every screw and weld, and then you think about how the wind wants to get into that building through whatever breach it can gain, and how it will want to blow that building apart. Then, just set your mind to beat it.
Wow! Thanks for all the info :) I have found a number of people posting in groups/boards about building like this however no TH-cam videos. I have seen a number of buildings built like this down here and they have stood for years so that's what I'm taking my cues from. I have added some knee braces in the corners as you suggested, that made lot of difference in the amount of sway the frame has when I push hard on the top. Again, thanks so much for all the info!
How far can you span the c purlin roof,I have a 13' span with 2"7/8 steel pipe frame carport I dont know how to cover?
You could span 13 feet with a 4" purlin. You only need one every 4' if your panels support that span. You can buy them in 20, 24 and 30' lengths so with a 30' you'd only have 4' of scrap for every 2.
@@fullvegan I appreciate you more than you know,thank you very much🙏💯
Hope all is OK haven't had a update in over a month... Let us know. Hope you didn't fall and hurt yourself.
Nope, didn't fall or even cut myself :) We're still here and glad we moved out here!
How far did you span and what suze did you use. Im looking to span 25ft
I’d like to know also please let me know as well very much appreciated
6 inch is rated for 18' but we run them 20' all the time. For 25' I'd run 8"
How the heat? I imagine working early then headed indoors until sunset.
It's not bad
@@fullvegan That's not too bad...at least the humidity is low and less mosquitoes I imagine. The good thing is that the heat dissipates quickly in the desert once the sun sets.
If you fall out there it could be fatal so be careful
