Pole Barn Construction and Instruction: Trusses and Roof Framing

[@BubbaDad315]

Youth ! I remember the day being so flexible and walking on a plank of wood with the same grace and strength. Kudos to that team of men and to your contractor!

[@bnewton5922]

Years ago I worked for company and there were 3 of us on the crew we would build a 24x32 pole barn in 3 days. If they wanted us to put in the cement floor then it took 4 days. This is a nice large crew and you can tell they know what they are doing. Looking forward to seeing the steel go on. Thanks for sharing.

It’s hard to believe,,, hours,,,?

Tall tales being told😂

[@watkinstreefarm6880]

They make it look so easy. All coming together. I like the airel view of the roof moving while they walked around. Crazy!!

[@bobcatsmith246]

Hello, I wish I had a cordless nail gun when I put my pole barn up, I had the good old fashioned hammer and nails. When I put on the addition to my pole barn I used 2" insulation on the inside of the roof too help with the condensation, and I taped all the joints. Love the video's keep up the good work and god bless and stay safe.

[@tomsmith3047]

Another really cool video, looking forward to the next.

So happy for you. Seem to becoming along very well.

I am happy for you and excited. This is an awesome project and you have a great crew doing the barn. I look forward to seeing the future episodes. Thanks for sharing.

[@lorenmeyer5290]

AWESOME looking barn! Coming along great!

[@ku4nz]

Great crew of workers.

[@stanleyharrell6009]

Pole barn is moving right along.

[@Dan-oz4qb]

That is a good crew of guys. You can see they take pride in their work. And we also see why life insurance is so expensive for men.

[@randybobandy9828]

Don't really see how they could die to easily in this video.

[@BG-vq9fd]

I enjoy seeing the difference in different builders. Code in my area required trusses to be thru bolted to posts. I am sure you will enjoy your building.

[@randybobandy9828]

These are 4ft on center trusses and the poles are 10ft on center... can't really bolt them to the poles.

[@raycapella498]

Awesome video great detail 👍🏿

[@miketungol5736]

Thanks for posting! Excellent video. How come they didnt use screws though? Building a 30X40X14tall post frame/pole barn here and all screwed together, just the purlins that are nailed.

[@scottleighton3120]

Looking good!

[@ataleofthreecabins1025]

Thanks!

[@davewilson8308]

I’m surprised they didn’t install a nailer behind the F - channel on the gable trusses.

[@viuus]

Awesome looking Pole Barn! You know where I can get these building plans for identical like yours? I'm wanting to build a 24x32 shop. Thank you

[@ataleofthreecabins1025]

You can design one on Menard's website in the project area. Put in your demensions, windows, type of doors. My trusses are 4' on center. You can then print a rendering, plans, and materials.

[@hpclan]

Love the channel! Wish you would make your videos longer, you could have squeezed this whole build into one video, that would have been great to watch the whole process from beginning to end in one fell swoop.

[@ataleofthreecabins1025]

I had to stretch it a bit as I've been out of town for a view weeks.

[@markhickey5610]

What is the rolled roofing material you put on under the metal? Do you have a link?

[@griffintv8614]

loving this playlist! which drone did you use for overhead footage?

[@ataleofthreecabins1025]

DJI Air 2

[@richardsummers9009]

I enjoy building watch barns, cabins ,off grid and so on, when hrowing up in our time we built Pole Barns out of large Poles This here we call tember framed theres no poles in it , ive notice many who built them or have theirs built call pole barns no Poles in them , videos are great but guess times now differen when i came up 😊🎶😍🎼..

[@williambarnes7704]

I just ordered a 24 x 32 in alberta canada.

[@tomstepp6945]

Did I hear you say in an earlier video that the posts were 54" deep into the ground?

[@ataleofthreecabins1025]

The top of the pill or cookie or footer has to be 48” below grade. So if those pills are 6”, 54” would be right.

[@northjerseykevin3915]

What part of the country are you in ? Looking back would have made any changes?

[@ataleofthreecabins1025]

Northern Ohio. I didn’t know no we’d be purchasing a travel trailer. I could now use an 11’ tall door instead of 10’.

[@paulgajewski5926]

Was just wondering what type of drone are you using

[@ataleofthreecabins1025]

DJI Magic Air 2. amzn.to/3F7U8zM

[@donnyhilla1574]

What state are you in? I wanted to build in northern Michigan but I have to consider snow loads. I believe my zone requires 60 psi snow loads.

[@ataleofthreecabins1025]

Northern Ohio

[@benjaminpupa839]

What product is that vapor barrier? I’d like to get some

[@ataleofthreecabins1025]

I'm sorry, I went back through the footage and could not find a manufacturer. I even had some left over that I ended putting below the concrete pad.

[@Dan-oz4qb]

A 12 inch sliding door?? Probably will soon wish you went a bit bigger on that. 1:44 😂

[@caseykelso1]

What size is that?? Was it a kit?? Links? Thanks for sharing 🍸

[@ataleofthreecabins1025]

24'X32" with a 12' wide 10' high sliding door. Trusses are 4' on center. This was not a kit, but Menards does have a handy project designer on their website which will give you a material list and plans, also an idea of cost. I used it, but did not purchase materials there

@@ataleofthreecabins1025 thanks for writing me back most KZbinrs don't I really do appreciate it and thanks for sharing🍸

[@caseykelso1]

Quick question. I want 30x40 house/finished garage......., should I do stick or pole? .whats cheaper and easier? Slab is expensive, can I use raised floor on blocks and build floor base with 2x12's? Would that be cheaper than slab?

[@randybobandy9828]

@Casey Kelso pole building will be cheaper for the simple fact you don't need concrete footings around the entire building. Concrete is expensive! Stick built needs footings or you could do a pier foundation instead.

[@roncorbin1500]

I think some day you'll wish you put more windows in.

[@wlsteffen]

I’ll bet you are happy you didn’t do it yourself! I was sure happy the way the crew put mine up. There a a lot of tricks the do to speed up the process a first time builder don’t know. looks great, my building has the posts lying on top of the of the 12 inches of concrete around the perimeter with a 6 inch floor the steel brackets which the poles are bolted to are in the 12 inches of concrete.

[@ataleofthreecabins1025]

Yes, my biggest stumbling block would be trimming it out. Our neighbor used the same method as you with the post. We have a packed to have our children to let us know which lasted longer in the afterlife:).

[@hughroney6342]

You won't get away with 8 feet on centre if you have snow loading, 4 is the max!
