John, Looks like you have created the monster you set out to build, great job. Now you have what, 5 or 6 more to build?? The 100,000 visitor is knocking on the door, who will it be????
Great truss, why not make the rest triangular (when looking at the end down the length)? Less materials, less build time, less weight to move. Granted I'm no engineer, but always like to save time, effort and $$$.
Very nice welding! I hate to say this, but in a greenhouse environment these guys are gonna rust pretty quick. You might want to paint them. ...I know another step after all that work.....drats..... Just a thought. Jeff

ReplyDeleteWhen you first started the truss, I thought you'd make them triangular, also.
ReplyDeleteVery nice welding!
