Hello,

I have built myself a pole barn a short while ago and a friend of mine gave my a non-working industrial exhaust fan. The motor was not working.

I got it installed and just now looking to...

Thanks for your response.

I'm concerned with the condensation of warm air of the underside of the metal roof to the cold air outside, moisture!

I do have quite a few wood working tools with...

Last year I built myself a 28x32 pole barn, with metal skin, both on side walls as well as the roof. No insulation was installed at build time due to my tight budget.

Now I'm wishing I had...

I am in the process of building my 28'x32'x9' shop. I am planning on using a sliding door, which will be 10' wide by 8' high.

I've seen a few slide tracks for sale on the internet, not sure of the...

Let me try this again.

Well, after much delay, I finally broke ground and started putting up my pole building.

I have a question or two on a pole barn I'm about to build.

I've seen a few pole barns and they all seem to use double 2x6 pressure treated bottom skirting boards, Why is this?

Before I have...

Roypat,

You think 8" tubes are sufficent for a polebarn?

This is what I'm about to do, purchase BF-24 bigfoot footing system, these can use 8" to 10" tubes. require a 24" hole.

Lets break...

I've read many places, that imbedding posts into concrete is not a good thing to do. I was not going to use 4x4 posts, but 4x6.

I am planning on pouring a 8" pier 24" deep, and using the BigFoot...

Well, after a delay in putting up my shop I finally got the go ahead from the fianance dept. (wife). I need to keep the cost as minimal as possible.

I have decided on the post and beam...

I'm getting ready to build myself a pole barn, would like to know what roof pitch I should use. I have built myself a smaller storage shed (12x16 foot) using T-111 plywood and shingle roof, that was...

I am about to embark on a Pole barn raising project for myself. It will be 30'x30'x10' high side walls.

I am looking at dropping the poles into the ground first, then at a later time, I will add...

My mini-lathe is a Homier 7x12.

The engine is one that I rebuilt, a 1969 327cu that I crammed into the Chevy S-10 P/U. I let my son use it while he sold his Mustang and looked for another car to...

I have a wrecked Chevy S-10 pickup truck and was wondering what kind of scrap metal can be pulled from this vehicle that can be turned on my mini-lathe and or be used in other projects?

i.e....

Whenever you get your genset put back together after the painting, etc.. How about some kind of mpg of it running so we can hear and see this beast under power?

I look forward to putting one...

Those verticle boards in the door panels are where the two odd width sheets of T-111 meet. There was little nailing surface for those small pieces and didn't want them to twist or bow out at the...

The last one, this is a the finished project with the exception of some landscaping the wife wants to do. She just had to get her hands onto MY project and tweek it just a little, I guess it's the...

Another shot

More pictures of the shed.

another picture of the shed.

This is my first shed I built during the earlier part of this year, used as a storage shed for my collection of tools and stuff when we bought a new piece of property, 1-1/4 acre. This will finally...

That a nice looking shop!

Is it stick frame or post and beam(pole barn)?

I'm going with the post and beam construction, seem quicker and probably cheaper to boot. Like I stated before, I've...

I'm located in the Spring Hill area, 30-40 miles north of Tampa on the gulf side. As far west as one can go, directly west of Orlando.

A small shed had to have posts buried 5ft in the ground? Wow!...

I'm trying to keep costs down as much as possible and still have comfort for my feet. Since I'm still in the planning phase, I haven't priced everything out yet.

I did called a concrete supplier...

I am about to build myself another pole barn (post and beam), my first was a smaller version (12x16), being used as a storage unit for my tools until it's bigger brother could be built.

I am...
