I am in the process of researching/designing a trophy room/building. I am thinking of building a 28'x36' building with no rooms.
I will be needing a ridge beam for the full length, rafters and I also will be putting in at least one maybe two cross supports to keep the walls in place and to help support the ridge beam.
My question is for those of you who have done something similar did you use wood or steel beams and what do you like/dislike about them?
If I use steel I will be covering them up with a decorative boards, probably old barn boards. (that is what I want to use on the bottom 3' of all my walls also)
Thanks,
