What do you build?

The side wings when they go up will be 22 gauge grain bin sheets from 12 of 17 grain bins except I have a tubing roller I will roll 1 5/8" 10 gauge pipe to go every 16 inches on center so I can bury them for temperature control under 2 feet of dirt.

"Temperature control", for the structural steel?

I'm not getting that (but then I'm none too smart either), what's that about?!

Temperature control for the inside of the structure. Less to be exposed to outside elements to have to cool down or heat up per say of the season.

Got it. Brilliant!

Minimize the heat sink Factor. You thought it through, for sure!

That is an excellent piece of work there, Weldman!

How did you manage those PERFECT bends (#4 bar?), on the street numbers?!!

Side wings going up, 12' wide by 12' tall...View attachment 872718

Looking real good, Weldman:

- How are you bending that radius into those ribs?

Thanks,
I have a tubing roller that I hand crank to roll it, or I get the wife to do it after I set the parameters up and check it as she goes.View attachment 872777

Wow.

That is a very cool machine!

And guessing that there are different dies for different diameter tube/pipe?

Is the cost under $1K?
