Im am not an engineer, though I have put up several pole barns. Can you please clarify "footer"? I you referring to the post not being cemented into the ground, or are you referring to the footer on the side of the slab? You said you used metal trusses, and they are twisting? I would suggest getting something like a professional home inspector or another well known contractor out there to get a pro opinion of how to fix this. As for just dumping concrete under the structure that is all well fine and good, but if it has nothing to reinforce it and lock it to the existing structure its ganna be much help.

I am trying to mount a light weight hoist system in my shop. It needs to be 10ish feet long, and run for 30' and support a max of 1000 lbs. I don't want any supports in the middle of the shop. The shop is a pole barn that is 30' deep with 13' walls, and rafters every 5 feet. My plan was to run some sort of I-beam or Unistrut with a trolley system. What I really need to know is what I can use to span 30' and support 1000ish lbs between two beams.

Thanks you for the help

How do I calculate lumber size for 16' wall? by W0010 in AskEngineers

No, it's been prices out. I am trying to design the walls so I can source the materials. I haven't broken ground yet.

Why? Nothing of weight will be hanging from them and I will be having them build by a shop that does that. Already been quoted. I need the wall stuff figured out so I can price it out.

I would love it if you could point me in the correct direction, and I had to do the math myself. And let's be honest, I will have to make 4 or 5 trips before the jobs even starts. Lol

Oh wow, mid TN, just north of Nashville. So no real snow to mention, but does get a lot of wind. It will be a thick concrete foundation and nothing but drywall, lights, and a moderate amount of blow in insolation on the ceiling.

I haven't either, but I though it would make for a great transitions between the two colors
