You are looking at version 6. https://www.onesteelmetalcentre.com/~/m ... ochure.pdf Re: Advice for a steel frame construction [pole house on slo 11Oct 29, 2017 10:27 pm If you considered alternatives to steel, you can use LVL's (use designit software). I have 3.3 cts for LVL bearers and using I joists which are spanning 4.0m (450 cts) Re: Advice for a steel frame construction [pole house on slo 12Oct 29, 2017 10:58 pm manofaus Here's the index link for duragalv Building Products flooring System spans for joist/beams only None of those brochures refer to Column support heights & engineering section property ...where specifically does it say 4.60m high because that's what KateG is asking for?
