Steel Buildings

[megrizzly]

Anyone move, sell or buy a steel arch Quonset, Behlen with the base plate bolted to concrete.? Know any one who has? Was it worth it?

I see a neighbor erecting one, 50x200, on 4' tall foundation, gives 18' door opening.

We have a quonset built with the base plate on top of a grade beam back in the early 80's. The building is still in great shape with no rust and hasn't required any maintenance/work. Its really not that bad of building and theres more than enough miscellaneous equipment to park along the walls.

The straight wall shed is still best, but there's a pile of equipment around the yard that don't need 20' wall height.

Ours same in 1981, 51x100, 24x14' door height is biggest negative. The concrete is going to sh it. Not sure if any investment/repair is worth it. Maybe "give away"? Free to be moved?

The people with 50x200 going up bought cheap as a pile of sheets several years old. 4' concrete x 500'+ was not cheap.

The lumber might have been wet/and/rough. Maybe as it dried, it shrunk and twisted? We have four Goodon sheds, never a problem but Integrity will probably build these two. We’ve seen some of theirs being built.

SDG, was good on out of your price range in comparison to integrity? Just wondering as you had good luck with goodon and are switching.

Have one of each Goodon and Integrity Post buildings on the farm. Buy Integrity. Far better building.

For what reasons?

For what reasons?

42x66x18.5 walls. 20x16 in the end wall and 16x16 in the sidewall.

Goodon used green lumber. Extra strapping twisted like a corkscrew in about 30 days. The building was tinned and insulated by the crew. When the sub contractor came to blow in the ceiling insulation he comes down and says one of your rafters is broken. Not a word about it from the crew. Had to sandwich the break with lumber on two sides. Glued and screwed it myself. Mentioned it and a few other deficiencies like backfilling with loose clay around the posts. No response from salesman, who now owns the company.

The building is just over twenty years old and I don’t expect it to last another 10. It creaks in a 20km wind. Really rocks in an 80. Called about it before the warranty was up but not a great response.

Quite a disappointment.

Edit. Maybe things have changed in 20 years, but not my taste in my mouth.
