A guy can learn a lot from watching others. Tonight I learned that vertical metal is much easier to install than horizontal ribs. I'm also going to just make the outer footing, but leave the inside gravel at first. I even like your color scheme. Good job.

Thank you for the comment. Leaving the concrete slab until the end has pros and cons but we would do it again that way. One thing I would have changed is doing a little bit of a stem wall with block/concrete, maybe 2-3’ tall around the perimeter and then having the metal building on that. Might have been better that way.

The video didn't show how to install the ridge cap. Can you walk on the roof to do that?
@GetBusyBuilding20 күн бұрын
Yes, it seems like it would be flimsy but the roof is very stable. Consider the snow load that it would have to sustain in certain parts of the country (50 lb+).

Great job and info, I have a question about snow load and the 3/12 pitch. How many inches of show stays on the roof? also doesit seem very sturdy if more snow heavy snow would be on it without brooming/raking it off? i ask because I am wanting this style in Northern Wisconsin but the snow load worries me
@GetBusyBuilding7 ай бұрын
Great question, easy answer is that versatube will provide engineered drawings for an extra fee. Makes it simple. They have various truss styles and will adjust the height of the corner bracing to accommodate the load. If I remember correctly we had a 50-60 lb snow load range for our building, over the county requirement but I thought of putting solar up there. I can look up the exact specs. As far as snow retention, the roof will shed snow quickly. Especially if uninsulated like ours. I put a snow retention in place to keep the snow on the roof after our first winter. Snow was piled 4’ high on either side of the building from sloughing. Retention systems are simple and inexpensive and make it safer around the perimeter of the building. Hope that helps. Cheered 👍

Thank you for the detailed video. Does the kit include trim pieces to close up the gaps in the eaves and bottom of the walls? I'm mainly concerned about mice getting in the garage.
@GetBusyBuilding5 ай бұрын
All trim pieces are provided with the kit. Versatube does not manufacture the r panel or trim but they source it from local sheet metal companies on your behalf when you purchase through them. You can also source it yourself. In terms of mice, you would have to put in some extra effort to keep them out. It would be completely doable but would require extra time and consideration.

did you attach the window flange to the square tube on the openings or just capture the window between the sheet metal and tubing?

Capturing the flange between sheet metal and frame held the windows and was fully functional for several months but I did go back and screw it in around the perimeter of the window.

@GetBusyBuilding Жыл бұрын
It’s been fantastic, summers it will get warm but opening the doors/windows gives a great cross breeze. Winters it can get cold but still perfectly functional. My intention is to insulate and I was going to install a split AC (just order an extra window frame kit to do this), I think it would make a huge difference. As is I would still do it the same way again.
@tsjuno4 ай бұрын
I recently bought a property that has a versatube building and I want to add a few windows. Did you get the windows from them? Is it the same as the sheet metal where they just source them locally for you? Thanks
@GetBusyBuilding4 ай бұрын
Windows are just from the big box store. Standard house windows, nice that this way you can go with pretty much any size. The frames/brackets you can get from versatube but it’s also easy to just locally source… just get some rectangular tube and angle brackets to fix horizontally to the verticals.

@@GetBusyBuilding that's exactly the one I am thinking of. Do you think 2 smaller garage doors would work better?! I am debating that one.

I prefer one large door but two smaller doors could definitely work (8’ wide would give you 2’ 5/8” on corner and in the middle if you were going for a symmetric look). There are a lot of combinations you can go with though. I do like that Versa tube will give you a good 3d model on their website to help visualize.

Thanks and no problem. Sounds like a perfect application for a versatube shop. My grandpa built a 30x50 about 8 years ago, works great. We then built one for his daughter in law, she loves it.

@GetBusyBuilding Жыл бұрын
Check out VersaTubes website, they have very clear pricing. We bought on a “spring discount”. ~$13.5k for building with stamped engineering prints. Had to hire out the cement pad due to the shortage, no one would sell me concrete. Footing we did ourselves including concrete. Combined concrete price ~$8.5k. It can definitely be done cheaper, but happy with the price and product.
