Roof load question
Roof load question
(OP)
Hello, i was hoping someone might be able to tell me if this roof(pictures below) would be able to hold a 2000-2500lb load. According to code, the steel frame should be able to hold about 7500lbs, but im more worried about the galvanized roofing getting crushed. The load would be spread out over 16 square feet, divided evenly over two steel beams on the frame, so that the steel would take most of the weight.
Any insights?

One cannot just look at 2 photos and say that a roof is okay. Sorry.
