Setting up a steel building kit from Powerbilt Steel Buildings. The prefabricated arch or quonset style metal building kit is the style example provided.
Steel buildings are similar to Faraday cages and don't burn when struck. The shells are grounded. I've had one (there are many vendors of this style building as they are made with similar equipment and materials, SHOP AROUND) for a long time. The hardware has gaskets, and water doesn't fall upwards. No problems and I'll be getting another. They are suited to DIY. K-spans work well too but aren't DIY territory. The US military have been globally deploying the machines to roll K-spans from sheet metal for decades. For large structures at remote sites that's the way to go as the equipment and metal ship in the most compact form, and rolling sections onsite allows immediate replacement if one is damaged. They go together quickly. There are K-span videos on UA-cam which are entertaining if you are into construction.
@@jeff-up8bh I started with the base channels, then the side panels. after erecting the outer end panels, I installed the eave panels, after adding some more end panels I erected the roof and top panels using a pipefitters crane and standing on the scaffolding to tighten all the bolts as I went along. making sure the panels were held in alignment, I was able to erect the 24x28 building by myself with help from a friend to hold bolts as I tightened the nuts. took a week total to do. I took pictures from start to finish as well as the tools needed.
Great video shows all the things I wanted to know in detail. But in super fast motion. So It gets a BIG THUMBS DOWN ! You could have slowed it down to just one bolt tightening or one end wall Bolt or Redhead ?
Silicone is acidic. Very acidic and will eat metal like termites in soft wood. I worked in a body shop and the first thing they teach anyone coming to work on autos that are metal is to never use silicone on them. People who have a tiny leak around their windshield and put on silicone end up with gaping holes because the silicone eats away at the metal. I know what you mean though, you mean to put a sealant in there, but sometimes a completely sealed building like that will build up condensation inside it and it is bad for that to happen.
Would you not always put the overlap so that the rain would stay on the outside...? Seems like it would be a constant source for water to leak in if you overlaped the wrong way as I seen a few times here...? Seems like a nice do it yourself building other that that...
Hello I'm an engineer from Iraq I would like to import this machine from China How much is the price without transportation charges And how much is the price with the wages of transportation to Iraq
I have watched dozens of videos like this and they are ALL WRONG! the construction method recommended by the manufacturer is very unsafe, expensive, and requires far too many people to construct the building. I built mine, 24x28 plus end walls in a few days BY MYSELF with a few simple hand tools, 12-foot scaffolding, and a pipefitters crane. the crane was also used to install the roll-up door. I tightened ALL the bolts as I erected the building without a problem. all I had to do was make sure the end holes were perfectly aligned and had NO problems as a result! total cost with wiring, building, and roll-up door was $8,800. the pad was already there when the property was purchased.
it is possible for you to erect the building by yourself with little help from your wife as all she would need to do is hold a wrench. I erected my building in a few days by myself with a friend doing just what your wife would need to do and I was 73 when I erected mine.
the support base depends on building design. mine had an 8 inch wide U channel that bolted directly to the concrete slab with anchor bolts that cost about $3 apiece at AG Supply. the side panels bolted directly to the base U channel. everything else I needed was included with the kit. options are for windows, entry doors, or anything not included with the kit.
Lightening would not be too good I guess. Do you know if there are materials that can replace metal and be lightening proof? Like some synthetic materials that are non toxic, let sunlight through and are more like greenhouse materials?
In your first and second sentence are you talking about the occurrence of a natural electrical discharge of very short duration and high voltage between a cloud and the ground or within a cloud, accompanied by a bright flash and typically also thunder? Or are you talking about reducing the weight of the panels? Cheers, D.
Please address the leak issues, are there no rubber washer or grommets between bolts and structure, is there silicone between sections? Or are these just leaky bastards?

Slow it down to .25 and see what they did at 4:11 . Can't see it at high speed. Helpful trick.
They hook the middle to lift 👍 right?
Video went so fast, it was annoying.
How about showing me how the first couple of arches went up!
you really do not want to follow manufacturer instructions as they are not correct, very expensive, unsafe, and require a lot of extra manual labor.
there are now dozens of these buildings nearby since I erected mine to include some huge models for raising chickens for Claxton Chicken.
How did you get your first couple of ribs up? Will be doing mine a month or so.

Do I have to have a concrete base and if so can I make a 2ft wide form with a 6 inch depth?
What kind of wind can this building take?
That middle connector at 0:53 should have some silicone sealant applied to keep out humidity and insects.
Amy Sidious Steel wool or nothing would be best. You need some ventilation.

@@fla-bushcraftprepper941 You are absolutely right ...

Good job

I didn't see them use any sealant between panels?
Awesome!
Do U need lightening protection and No rubber gromits on the bolts on outside ??
the walk-in door opens to the outside....knock the hinge-pins out, set the door to the side and walk on in, LOL.
Not with my pins I'm a welder I I would put a tack weld on you have to have a grinder with your ass to get my pins out
Please tell me what is the size of this garage?
Price an size would be nice !!
What gauge of steel is this
a lightning strikes wet dream.
Not bad, It only too ya 9 mins. to assemble it. ; >)

Aqui no Brasil tem algo assim?
no silicone sealer?
no cordless impact drivers?
the worst building on the market no snow load,
@@rolandadams3153 mine rated at 30 Psf.
only hand tight bolts?
Someone now if this buildings don't take mastic tape on the ribs?
Four people putting this up -- I guess this isn't the building for my wife and I to assemble.

Where can i get the support base????

a rubber gasket material is provided with some kits that seal all the overlap joints.
4 men $30 an hr. X 8 hrs. = $960.
unnecessary expense. NOT needed when erecting the building as I did by MYSELF at 73 years old!
Whoever was holding the camera should be slaped
These aren't the old steel buildings of yesteryear. Bean can gauge steel at best.
Mine is 22ga. .030"
not like the old design as it is made from galvanized 24 gauge steel and very strong! these are not WW2 quansit style huts
