What was that place built from...Old skids?....or is that just what it looks like?

No wonder it fell down...lucky someone wasnt killed.....
 
Not to insult anyone, but with the metal running the direction it appears to run,the snow would not slide off readily. Its always a shame to have this type of misfortune. I hope it is safe to assume that no one was injured, that's the important thing.
 
no one was hurt and thats been removed now were working on the other side fixing the wall and putting a better floor we removed a wooden floor and a crooked slab by had all the same time looking at these

ummm... looking at the wall section you have there it looks to be lacking wall studs. the roof is sagged way in too. I hope this is what you are fixing and it is not the fix.
The new floor will be great though. My dad and I started the MG resto shop in a barn with wood floors. nasty splinters!
 
With concrete being around $100 a yard, I would tear that thing down and rebuild it the right way. Also , you need a really steep pitched roof to shed snow, just in case you didn't know that. Good luck with it.
