Type of Alabama spider?? Today as I entered my shed I saw a HUGE spider web....

Today as I entered my shed I saw a HUGE spider web. It be about half the size of a love form but it was round of course. The spider when I finally saw adjectives of it was brown, a lil red and it's butt was huge a lil bigger around than a quarter. It be brown but it had a lil white on it. It's legs honestly looked like ascetic crab legs. I have never seen a spider approaching this before. Does anyone have any clues? I hold searched on the internet for about an hour presently and have found nothing.

Thanks for the lend a hand.
Here's an article on Wikipedia on spiders within general; I'm sure you'll find your answer.

Answers:    It sounds just like a barn orb weaver, they are not hazardous at all. They can bite if you provoke them enough, which is harder than you would have a sneaking suspicion that, and if they did it wouldn't do much more than mild swelling and numbness for a couple days.. wasps do more.

do an Image search for "Araneus cavaticus", which is the scientific label, and see if that looks like your spider. I would give a intermingle but get these damn "999" errors every time I try.
