Building a Flower Pot Farmstand
So my wife needs a farm stand to sell her flowers amongst other things. She’s seen a couple ideas of a flower pot shaped building (Hollywood Flower Pot and Idaho Flower Pot) and was thinking if it’s feasible on a smaller scale without laminated studs. Framed conventionally with dimensional lumber on a round concrete pad. I already have snow loads and live loads factored into the roof design but my question is with the tapered walls. The walls will hopefully either be 2x6 or 2x8, 12” or 16” O/C with a 5 degree cut on each end to get the flower pot taper. At ~10’ tall this will put the top plate 10.5” outside the bottom plate. My question is; will the roof load carry down to the ground uniformly or will the wall start to deflect/bow out in-between top and bottom plate? submitted by /u/Cougry [link] [comments]
