What is that wet stuff? >:D A contractor put up two of those at our shop at work in 8 hours. Amazing how good people get at stuff when they do it all the time.

It took us over 4 hours to get up those three, but i dont claim to know what im doing.:-) At least each section went up faster than the one before so we must be learning a little at least.

That's going to be an awesome bow shop.  Thanks for posting pictures.  How do the sections connect together?

They have about a 2" over lap that gets bolted together. If i remember right its over 80 bolts to join one arch to the next. The arches are made by bolting 7 sections together with 12 bolts per joint. I think i will be pushing close to 3000 bolts by the time its completed.  Bolts are 5/16" x 1" with a seal on the head. When im not so tired i will take a closer pic showing the overlap and bolts.

What is the dimension of your building?  I'm very interested in seeing how it finishes up.  I have plans of building a workshop in a few years when the kids move out.  I was thinking pole barn construction but your building has me intrigued.

It was called a 30x36 but is actualy 29' 10" x 35' 7 1/2" outside dimensions. I was pricing pole barns also but couldnt touch one for the price of this steel building.
