Hi @stevenuecke

Based on the following information and pertinent loads in this area, what's your recommended bracket spacing for the arcoPlus®547 product?

Thanks, Ryan

And this is for the walls and/or the roof? Do we have any loading drawings from the steel manufacturer yet? I can calculate the wind and snow loads, but if they have already done that, it would be quicker.

For walls only. No they don't have the 'wind loads' yet.

I am headed out of town for a conference tomorrow, but based on a preliminary review, it looks like the supports would need to be at 5 feet O.C. I will look into it more next week, if you need something more.
