SDK801,

Lots to think about on floating roofs.
There are external floaters and internal floaters.
I have many spreadsheets that I have build over the years and they are all a (work in progress).
There are single deck and double deckers?
Internal pontoons or pan only.
Give us a bit more info and will see what we can do.

Regards
Larry

lgwsaw is right there is a lot to consider in the floating roof design, it includes single or double deck, or is it external or internal floating roof.

If it's internal, aluminum may be a better choice - corrosion, cost, safety, can suspend it from the fixed roof, storage, etc. May be worth considering.

Hey Larry,
I was wondering if you could share some of sheet for design double deck floating roofs.
That would be much appreciated.
