I just wanted to say...Thank you. I just finished my 40x72 building..took me about a year but watching the videos daily for couple weeks,I felt confident to attempt. Had very little help, truss day and a couple roofing weekends. Again thanks. Frank

[@whitneyjackson4721]

I've been a builder for many years and have seen quite a fair bit of sheds. The plans in ryan's package kzbin.infoUgkxB7IXYxLzb_Ichhe45zM3Im5xfEiSp9vB have some of the nicest looking sheds i've seen in a while.

[@lekkki1]

"Some dude about a million years ago"...LOL! It's the 3, 4 5 principle, but it really helps to see you guys walk it out and explain it. Great set of videos, love watching them.

[@beardawgjohnson6432]

I've watched at least 50 different videos on squaring and grade and the light just went on. You're an excellent teacher. Thanks a lot for posting this. Bookmarked, saved, liked and subed.

[@MuddFlappRanch]

Man this popped up in my recommended videos today. I have watched it about 100 times in the past 5 years. You are a KZbin Classic!

[@GotItMade]

Hahaha. That's awesome!

[@ryandiaz3417]

i'm a civil engineer, this method is precise without being complicated. beautiful!

[@skyonedesignersplus1066]

❤l was looking and searching pole burn builds and landed back here again--this video is 10years old on my phone reading--but a blessing for me for 2024* l had started on my pole burn and made a mess so l came back to this video after learning l had no ideal what l was doing 😮 you have broken things down great for me. In my second maybe third go at it. Plus being in my 60ies l didn't know l needed an eye appointment and it was close to winter**l didn't stand a chance 😅 thanks for this video. I have to take down the 4 poles that l did put up and set up the triangle with string--l also want to apologize to the construction and frame workers but my money and family illness has taken my personal extra funding elsewhere 😢 so this for right now is my only option to try an diy the pole shed...thanks again🎉

[@hectorglover6392]

Watching the series again just to make sure i got it! Hoping to start my pole barn just as soon as the cold weather turns to the better! Thanks again for taking the time to do this series I have learned alot.

[@GalaxyRunner77]

Great series to help with planning and brainstorming. Gives you a good idea how to avoid pitfalls and includes excellent information that is often forgotten.

[@NicholasYaekle]

I have to say, you made squaring up the building so simple that a math-idiot like me even understands! Now, if you'd only taught me geometry/algebra in high school, I might have been an astro physicist! Thanks for the video series.

[@TornadoTara]

Well..... here I am. 50 years old, newly single, and I purchased land in KY with plans to build a barn home. You will be my guru! Inspire me my friend!!

[@billnickerson2006]

I just got through this serious. I really enjoyed the information. I am just getting into building and I found a lot of your information very helpful. Keep up the videos.

[@butchortner6572]

Great job on these videos. My wife and I are going to build a pole barn ourselves and your videos are a great reference for us. Thank you

[@jeffjones4563]

I really like this guy. He is a good-ol-boy type and with he dry since of humor, his videos are really easy to follow. Thank you for making these.

[@joelalleman9591]

thanks for your plain ,commonsense , and practical approach to this layout procedure on a building site !!! I have built several buildings and my methods are very similar to yours except that I was stuck working pretty much alone on these projects , and I used a string and plumb bob to assign my post locations . I am pretty old now , by the world's standards, and I need to build a new pole barn and haven't done any of this in many years. Your video is very encouraging and straight forward in the way you present all the information necessary to do the most tedious part of this build which is the squaring of the foundation layout . Thanks again for your video !!! I will be watching the rest of your build to fill in the gaps of what I have perhaps forgotten from my last building project and hopefully pick up a few new tricks and tips from your wisdom and experience !! Greatly appreciate a hands on practical construct !!

[@joshuaforRonPaul]

Use the 3-4-5 rule for squaring anything

[@Paul-hl5ls]

Built a beautifully level and stable pole building a few years ago with your help... so now that I'm fixing to do it again, I knew what video I wanted to watch

[@Paul.Kozljak]

Really excellent. Everything is well explained. In particular, I appreciated the discussion of his reasoning for why he approached the project in the way he did. Pythagorean theorem was a good reminder. Bravo!

[@HLTurner]

Thank you so much! My husband and I really enjoyed watching your video! Super helpful and your explanations are very easy to understand! Keep them coming!

[@GotItMade]

+Hollie Turner Hollie! Thanks for checking it out. Glad it helped out!

[@williamzink6798]

About to build a pole barn this week. Thanks for the tips on squaring a building!

[@PadareArt]

Share your experiences with us about your build. I am planning on building one soon.

[@cypreshill5595]

Thanks for the video some brilliant advice of how to level your pole bottoms with concrete first

[@craigmonteforte1478]

so far So good ! looks like you got a good plan on the Pole Barn ! Years ago i met a guy in Construction that spent many years building Pole Barns throughout Pennsylvania for many of the Nations biggest Barrel racing competitors when i knew the guy he had retired from that business and had opened a construction company that Specialized in s site maintenance and containment processes he was a interesting guy with a very much Can Do Attitude although i,left that company myself over 35 years ago and haven’t seen him since

[@jpjohnson3177]

Thanks for posting this series! I look forward to using your tips in my project!

[@tedkaras723]

I have to tell you - I really appreciate the time you put into recording your projects, and quality and level of detail you put into all of your work. Thank you for sharing.

[@GotItMade]

Great to hear from you Ted. As always, I appreciate you watching my videos and for your comments. The weather here is making it tough to make progress the last few days but more video will be out soon.

[@miketomko2933]

Thanks for the video, you explain very well a lot of others assume we already know. I'm inspired to start one!

[@RK-dc1cb]

I plan to build a very similar building to the pole barn you built. Your vids were very well done and I watched them all. You should be very proud of your pole barn.. Glad your tractor has a new home. The best part was your common man approach and straight talk. Thanks for the info and tips.

[@GotItMade]

+Randy Kramer Thanks for watching, Randy. Glad the vids helped out!

[@ForestToFarm]

Gonna be doing some building of my own soon. Thanks for the videos! Great job. Direct and to the point. Terry

Best video series I've found on this subject. Thanks.

[@GotItMade]

Humble Moon Thank you! Glad it helped out.

[@lynnchance7015]

First of all, I just found this video and I wanted to see how you built the barn because my son and I are going to eventually build a pole barn at his house. I wouldn't have done the layout quite like you did, but the end results are what you need and your method gets the results. Good job!

[@GotItMade]

Thanks Lynn!

[@MegaRiffraff]

Im starting a 5 bay 60x36 x 10ft, high, tool shed by my self , been watching every diy show i can find 👍🏻

[@08Maxwell1]

Your series on building a pole barn is outstanding. I've watched all of them at least a half dozen times. Over the years I've built numerous things. However, at 60 years of age I'm still learning and I learned a lot from your videos. Many of the techniques you discussed were used in my 40'x60' barn in current development. Like you I'm building it alone and in my own time. It would've been finished but for wet winter weather which slowed the process. Thank you for taking time to share your efforts. They greatly contributed to the success of my project.

[@GotItMade]

08Maxwell1 Thanks for the great feedback and kind words. I appreciate you watching. Lemme know how yours turns out!

[@dodgefreek87]

Thanks for the walk through videos finally got my building squared 41.25 by 45... Our old loft barn is in dire need of some help to that's my other project this summer it's well over 100 years old

[@dougbreitmayer4712]

Thanks a lot! I'm working on a run-in shed that's 15 x 36. Your videos and tips are really helpful. You're quite entertaining, too. Fun to watch, very illustrative and super informational. Thanks!

[@GotItMade]

+Doug Breitmayer Cool. Glad the videos helped out. Thanks for watching, Doug.

[@AidanSkoyles]

Hi; wanted to say thanks for putting these videos together. Just finished a pole-barn style carport behind my house. Took many techniques from your videos which were very helpful. (Still took a whole lot of weekends and late nights.) Keep up the good work! It is appreciated.

Very thorough job and great explanation, looking forward to seeing the whole series. Keep um coming and thanks for sharing. And from one southern hick to the other, I can understand you just fine.

[@GotItMade]

Southern boys gotta stick together. Ha! Thanks for watching and commenting. I appreciate the compliments! As soon as this weather settles down I'll get more video posted.

[@jlwhitt77]

great series. its the end of January here in NW Missouri and i just started my 32 x 32 pole barn project. was going to wait til spring but have the money now. I also wanted to take advantage of the 11 percent rebate at the local lumber yard. we had a warm spell yesterday so i marked out the post holes. i knew how to square a structure by measuring corner to corner however the pyagoryth therom made that real easy using two 100 foot tapes. i was lucky enough to have a neighbor with a bobcat and post hole auger. that made that job quick and easy. going to take your advice and get that dirt out of the way. snow and rain on its way tonight.

[@GotItMade]

Yes!!!!

[@jarvusd6683]

Great job! Very simple to follow and well desplayed.

[@michaelwatkins3842]

Thank you so very much for doing this series!

[@GotItMade]

Your welcome!

[@steveknott3662]

Hi Feddie, just wanted to thank you for the great video series!! I learned a lot watching your videos. Last year I built a 12 X 24' pole barn to house our rabbit colony. I worked with my father-in-law getting the barn constructed.. When all was said & done the barn was only off by 1/4"!!

[@GotItMade]

Thanks Steve!

[@brodyjoe50]

Thanks for this video series, just watched video one. I'm gonna have to watch em all now.

[@GotItMade]

joe hanna Thanks for watching. Glad they have grabbed your interest.

[@donhighmiller3051]

I'm in the planning stages of building a pole barn and found your videos. Straight forward and down to earth. I usually use the 3-4-5 method but I'm going to try your squaring method. Great video!

[@GotItMade]

Thanks for the great feedback. I appreciate it. I think you will see the way I do it is very accurate given the ease of doing it that way. Good luck!

[@GregTrickey]

The 24X32x40 was actually a 3-4-5 triangle. Multiply by 8. I always keep an eye out for the multiples, then you don't actually have to solve the square root of the C side. Plus, it's always whole numbers so you don't have to convert 16.42579 to inches. There are a few other special triangles, but they aren't as helpful in construction: 5:12:13 8:15:17 7:24:25 9:40:41

[@ProsecuteThis]

This has helped me immensely. We don't normally do remodeling stuff, and we don't even have a dozer so we can't do dirt work. We're out here in Stilwell. Give em hell buddy!

[@GotItMade]

[@fantasticworld7859]

+Fantastic World Excellent Video! Excuse me for chiming in, I would love your thoughts. Have you thought about - Mahorrla Wooden Paradise Method (erm, check it on google should be there)? It is a smashing one of a kind product for building better sheds and woodworking without the hard work. Ive heard some extraordinary things about it and my mate after a lifetime of fighting got great success with it.

Kudos for the Video! Forgive me for chiming in, I would love your initial thoughts. Have you heard the talk about - Mahorrla Wooden Paradise Method (probably on Google)? It is an awesome one of a kind product for building better sheds and woodworking minus the normal expense. Ive heard some extraordinary things about it and my old buddy Taylor finally got amazing results with it.

[@walterf5502]

My Man, you are awesome. I have land in Northern California and land in Hawaii. I live in the San Francisco Bay Area, and want to build a small home and garage on both properties. A place to get away from the urban life. I bought these raw land properties to have a place to be with nature and just get away from the city. Pretty much both are off-the-grid. I don`t have much money to spend since I`m retired. I like how you explain everything and after viewing your video, I am sure I can do this. God Bless and keep it up.

[@zachhines7789]

Hey man I really enjoyed watching this video you taught me how to square a building cause I'm currently planning to build a 30x30

[@larrysullivan6536]

Brilliant well explained looking forward to part two cheers Larry Sullivan London

[@TheScubaSmith]

Excellent, excellent video! I run a small business and have used the Asq-Bsq-Csq, or "3-4-5" method to find square many times. I'm always surprised how many contractors & builders are not familiar with such a useful formula. And I'm always impressed when I see someone who isn't afraid to tackle a project on their own. I need to build a structure to serve as a shop as well as a shed for my tractor, and I'm considering a pole building. I think I'll enjoy your video series. Thank you very much.

[@GotItMade]

Monotonyman2010 Thanks for watching and commenting. Glad the vids helped out!

[@jimmarplediy2024]

You're a good teacher. In the past I've climbed the post to cut off excess height and knotch. I was younger then. This spring I will adopt your method of achieving a level plane in the hole. I too always mix the concrete with water in a mixer then place in the hole. Placing dry concrete directly in the hole tends to result in a weaker set. The one thing I missed from your video is anchoring the pole in the concrete. I usually screw in just one lag screw in one side of the pole to make it harder for wind to yank the pole out of the concrete.

[@GotItMade]

Thanks James. I appreciate you watching.

[@donmccormick856]

This is by far the best video tutorial I have ever watched. (several times I may add) Loaded with information and knowledge. Well done.

[@chucklynch8397]

Pythagoras would be very proud of you! Brick masons use the common values of 3-4-5, measure 3' on one leg, 4' on the second leg and the diagonal will be 5'.

Yeah, 3-4-5 method can be done solo and it can be done on any length that's divisible to those numbers.

Bradley Hatfield Thanks for the kind words, Bradley. I appreciate you watching!

[@rodolfoplasencia4953]

I think you're doing great! You got a subscriber! I learned the purpose for the exterior corners allow me to set nails/points to cross strings that coincide with my vertices. Great job! Also I almost suggest you to paint the points of your vertices or whatever you'll be digging like every 8' you mentioned so once you remove your sticks to dig, you still have some paint on the ground. Something to consider for future if you haven't. As you said, you want to make your barn 24'x32'. Now, is that the interior or the exterior of it? Why I ask? In reality, once done you'll know where or how wide by how long interiorly and exteriorly speaking you make it but, let's say you want those measures inside your barn. If that's the case, you want to add to the 24', and the 32' the sides of your pole. Let's say you will be using 4"x4"s, then you'll go with your exterior measurements 28"x36", and you find the diagonal of that and do what you did, so from there on, your interior will get to be 24'x32'. In houses where you'll add sheetrock, baseboards, in areas like kitchens where you'll add cabinets, you want to consider that your interior space will decrease a 5/8" for the sheetrock, a 12" deep by top cabinets I believe, a 30" deep for bottom cabinets (feel free to correct me on anything), I think 1/2" baseboards approx, sort of, future additions to your structural walls to consider so what you want in the interior, gets achieved.

[@scottdewart87]

I dig pools for a living and find myself using some of your methods, when I’m laying out a pool I like to use rebar instead of stakes because they’re smaller in diameter, also those soft tape measures your using will slip right over the top of the rebar. Or if you need the stakes for height, center a screw in it, and it’ll be tighter!

[@scottdewart87]

I’m addition when you have a cross, drop a stone from the cross three to five times and that’s pretty damn close to where you want your stake/ rebar

[@jamesdaniel490]

Thanks very helpful. keep on teaching. JD. Texas

[@paulgawlik2590]

[@ScottIsMyName]

I learned that yinz call sheds yard barns. ;) I'll be running a leanto extension off the side of my chicken coop soon as the current project is done and have time. Will be doing it pole barn style, so looking forward to the posts and framing.

[@GotItMade]

Ha! Sometimes my accent causes people to look at me like I'm speaking a foreign language. Thanks for watching. The weather is not cooperating here and I am having a hard time getting the last few poles set but I'll get more video up soon as the weather breaks a little.

[@joebarrett9830]

On the corners, instead of running tapes across, you can measure one wall at 3' and another at 4' and mark both positions on the string. Then measure the marks on both strings (makes a triangle) and it should be 5'. This is called the 3,4,5 method from what I recall growing up and being taught from my parents and grandparents. Hasn't let me down yet. This can be done on the initial string as well as the string from each batter boards.

[@laurenmichelemcgarry8495]

You rock Mr. BlazingNailGun! ;) You said the "M word!!" And I didn't run.. that's my kinda of m..a..th.. lol, Finishing up a fancy chicken coop and needed a little extra confidence to go for my horse barn. It's just me, myself and I and any passerbys I can sweet talk into holding a tape or end of a board but thanks to your videos I am going for it! TY

[@GotItMade]

Wow, thanks for the kind words LarenMichele. I appreciate it and I really appreciate you watching the videos. I had fun on this project but it is a lot of work so any "passerby's" you can "sweet talk" is probably a good idea. Heck, I'd hold a tape measure for you!

I noticed you said "Good Enough" for you and not the normal jobsite term "Close Enough". You are doing it right in my opinion and believe me that you are doing a better job than what I see on jobs I have looked at. I built 2 sheds and was cussed when I made measurements within 1/8" and famous line was "Were not building the Taj Mahal" ... well when you are the person paying for it you think you are... damn fine job

[@GotItMade]

Thanks so much for the kind words and great feedback. I appreciate it! Sounds like you know the deal. There's times when you don't sweat the small stuff but there's times where the small stuff is very important three or four steps down the line. I guess the fact that I am on my own timeline takes some of the pressure off. Thanks again for watching and commenting!

good video brother. I framed houses in my early 20's but a little rusty

[@martinortiz2673]

I like you video, good job!!.

[@johncurry3880]

Last July we had my workshop built. My wife and I had walked it off and put stakes in the ground and even had colored twine to identify what was building and what was concrete in order to get a visual of where and what we wanted. Not knowing anything about how to make it square we set out and marked it off. It was a great reference for us and we could see how big it was going to be along with the extra concrete that we had poured around the building and extended our patio. The funny thing was just how out of square it actually was. The builder teased us a bit and we all laughed. What we did actually helped to give him a visual but he could not use what we put down. Watching you square your's up makes a lot of sense.

Ha! One of these days I'll have to tell the story of "hey Feddie". It's a good one. Yep, the sticks are in the ground now but not all have been set permanent. This weather and shorts days are making it tough. Stay tuned.

blazingnailgun Great video series ... they all were very informative .. On the 6x6 post , How long were they and how far in the ground did you place them? Thx

Great video. It's nice to get a little guidance. A little rule of thumb to use in place of A^2 + B^2 = C^2 is the 3, 4, 5 rule. Otherwise the 24 (3 x 8), 32 (4 x 8), 40 (5 x 8). I hope this makes the math easier.
