Don't deal in that crap.

Do have sheets.

Sheets cover 3' each. They're random about 10' long. New cover sheets. They have scratches and some have little dings. We have a stack of random colors and a stack of galvanized. The random colors are cheaper but I'm not sure what we're getting for either right now. Got an idea how many you'll need so I can check the stock? Sometimes we have a whole crapload and sometimes there are none.

Nobody has cheap pipe. Look in the american classifieds or thrifty nickle or whatever they call it now, there's usually some used pipe listed in there. You're not gonna put screws into drill pipe. Just use the pipes for poles and build the rest out of purlin.

i was going to weld to the pipes some sort of cheap cross bar like square or channel or something and then screw the sheets into that and as far as size, say total roof will be about 20x30 ish and we will need these in mid december, construction has been posponed from this weekend. I can pickup earlear tho.
