NIGEL FORD Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 our 60' X 30' asbestos clad barn put up in the mid 60s had about 8" X4" I beam or H section uprights on each corner and then 4 more at 20' along the main runs (ie either side of a 20' sliding door in the middle) I expect Graham will tell you more about 80'?100' spans(?) probably about 18" or more I beams?
