Help with determining I-beam

[pharmerBob0212]

Good Afternoon,

I am hoping to get some help with a problem I am having. I am planning on building a tractor garage on our farm. It will be a stick frame built with 2x6’s 18” O.C. for the walls. The walls will be 8’ tall. The roof will be a metal roof, supported by rafters and ceiling joists, and this will also be constructed with 2x6’s 18” O.C. It will be a gable design, with 1 foot of overhang and will probably be a 30* slope. I want to run an i-beam that is 25’ long down the center of the garage without any support posts inside the garage. I would like the beam to support approximately 20 pounds per square foot for potential attic storage. Can you tell me what I-beam I need to buy for this application?

Thank you for your help,

Bob

Bob - you'll need to hire a structural engineer for that one.
