I like the looks of that, especially the fact that the cans are sitting on a nice slab.

ETA: it looked like a slab without the ability to enlarge it at the first view.

I would still have it on a slab at least partially.

And need a slab on the covered section so may as well have it on a complete slab.

I see the cans are anchored to the foundation no matter what it is.

A fire pole to go down and a hydraulic or pneumatic lift to go up or down.

Goddamnit now I actually like that! Except way too many stairs, that fucker needs to be flopped down and splayed out :smokin:

I looked at a really cool house a block from the water in a little community in my home town. It had a decent amount of steep stairs and I was concerned about my ex's parents and my dad being able to negotiate. My plan was an old man lift to the deck.

I really wish I'd have bought that house because I'd never had sold it. Block from a public beach and a little market store on the water with a mother in law suite. Sheeeeeeiiiiiiiiittttt :smokin:

This is one a few hundred miles from me. Dude killed sixty or more women, raped, tortured, and turned loose no telling how many others, and probably had local law enforcement participating and helping him cover things up. And somehow not a real big deal.

USING the design in stubs post 360 utilizing 4 high cube 40 ft cans from ground upto top of the 2nd set of I will construct trusses on 19 - 24 inch centers.

Need to know up to what span the standing seam metal roof I have will cover.

Its made to cover a 28 ft wide building including about a 24 inch overhang.

Dont know the roof pitch but wanted to streach it as much as possible, while having as close to a 10/12 pitch as possible with a 36 ft building width so that is using 20 ft cans between the top level of 40 ft cans.

Or maybe less gap between the bottom set of 40 ft cans to make the roofing material fit at the proper pitch ?


To mount the 2nd story cans concentric one would need to have a 24 ft gap and ive recently found that I only have one 24 ft can available, the other was a 20 thats in storage, half way up from here at a friends place.

If you actually want to reach an answer,
  • tell us how long the pieces of roofing material are
    • not what span they covered at an unspecified pitch
  • then tell us either the width you want or the pitch
This is basic triangle geometry, but you left too many unknowns (shocking :laughing:)
Give us 2 lengths or at least 1 side and an angle, or go eat some paste :shaking:
 
Sorry, length of material is 18' enough to cover 40-42'.

Pitch I want is at least 8/12 but 10/12 would be more desired to be better for shedding snow.

Surprise I know but I flunked geometry and went on to do better with trigonometry although havent used it simce 87 or so.

OK, if your rafter length = 18' per side (assuming 1 panel per side, given your info.)

You can have a 30 foot wide structure with zero overhang w/ an 8:12 pitch.

You can have a ~27.5 foot wide structure with zero overhang w/ a 10:12 pitch

Here's a link to a handy calculator in case any of my assumptions above are incorrect:

That's a crazy story. Most victims know their attacker, but a dude torturing and killing randoms is much harder for LEO to solve. Who knows how many he would have killed if that one gal hadn't escaped.
