welding IPE220 - H beams

[Stingray]

yeah to be honest thats my biggest concern, is getting the angles spot on on such big items, its not like you can flip things about on a bench and check it with a square! first time il realise its wrong is when its hanging 15ft in the air out of a crane

Just check for 90 degrees with a normal square, tack two bits of flat or something to check your pitch angle, what width is the overall width of the shed going to be?
