Anyone have idea's on which is stronger in a 27' tall wall application? Engineer said 3x.1875 carried load, but I'm not comfortable with that. It's either a weld up with metal 4x.1875 posts 10' OC or 2x6 DF #2 btr studs 2' OC. I could go 2x8s if necessary.

My daughter and son in law's building has I beam frames at about 20' oc. It has 16' tall walls. 
Most everything I enjoy doing turns out to be work

I had a quote done last year on a steel building - they quoted 4x4x.125 galvanized on 10' centres for a 40'x60' building with 12' tall walls but the price of steel tubing has doubled since September so that might be a factor for you to consider.

We decided to go with the weld up walls and wood for trusses and rafters
