Hello Everyone,
I don't contribute to many topics on here at all, but I'm hoping ya'll can answer some of my questions.
I have a pretty small shop, I don't have any measurements right now, but I can get them. I will do my best to describe it. It is approximately 16'-18' X 12'-15', there is a corner post set on top of a concrete pier in the four corners only. There is a 4"x6" sole plate resting on piers between each of the corner posts, except for the front. There is two sliding doors attached to metal rails, which are attached to a 2"x10" header. Hope that wasn't too confusing. The single top plate is a 2"x4". There are no studs between corners at all. When they built it (it is old) they used 1x10's running vertical all the way around the shop. There are 2 1x4's running horizontal from corner to corner. One about 2' up from the sole plate and the other almost 6' up from the sole plate. The roof structure is 2x4 rafters on 4' center with a 2x6 ceiling joist on the middle rafter with 2x4 joists for the other rafters. The rafters run the short direction(12'-15'). The roof itself is decked in OSB with asphalt shingles.
I hope my description isn't to confusing. I was curious as to ya'lls opinion on structural strength without the use of stud frame walls. I'm looking to hang some cabinets up on the walls for storage.
What do ya'll think?
