John, you'll need strips of pine stripwood for running along the currugated card, and then to make the frame at the top aswell,

I have one and can take a picture of it if you want

if i remember rightly tris glued his corriguated card to a thin sheet of ply, then bent that to shape ,sure he will confirm,

on mine i made the uprights and a post along them to take the edges ,then bent to card into the frame, marked and cut the ends, and used L shaped bits of card to bond the ends to the curve, it seemd to hold it together well for a while, but the glue went this summer in the hot spell, so i do need to repair it sometime

I was surprised how easily the corrugated card bends, actually. For our pig arcs we recommend wrapping it around a jam jar to get the shape, so presumably you could easily do the same thing with a dutch barn, but on a larger scale.

Thanks for the help,Is there any other things I`ll need other than the BFS-10s to build a shed

Stripwood? If you want to replicate a shed made from steel, don't use wood. I used all manner of Plastruct to make my past sheds. I can't remember what I used now but there are pics in my Leverets Farm topic of the dutch barn structure before any cladding or paint. Worth a kook for some ideas.

Thanks have you any Idea how you made the arch?

[Deere-est]

It's one of the smalles I beam profiles with 0.2mm styrene strip for the arch bit. I pegged it all out on a board to glue in place. I think Garrett (smallclaas) used a heavy towel draped over his shed to glue it, helps keep the card curved to shape. I used string, about a dozen pieces to keep the card in place for gluing.
