How to Build a Pole Barn Pt 8 - Cost, Materials, and Closing Thoughts

[@davidparker8189]

I've been watching many pole barn vids and honestly, I'm impressed to watch you've accomplished as a one man band. So kudos to you sir....love the old Ford too. Hope it's a 300 inline

[@Justletmedoit]

Even nine years later . This series is on point. I appreciate the time you spent documenting this series I hope your still building and doing well in 2023 .

[@GotItMade]

Thank you for watching!

[@blockeradventures]

you gave me the courage to build my own 24x32 shop, thanks for these detailed videos all I have left is to put tin on .

[@builderspluscustomhomesand2146]

Hey man I know it was 3 years ago since this message but did you build that 24x32? Love to see it

[@geesndux]

Your videos are great! No BS, no wasting time, just quality tutorials. Thanks for doing these and thank you for your service to our country as well! I've been watching your videos for the last two hours and plan on watching all of them

[@GotItMade]

geesndux Wow, thank you for the kind words and encouragement. I really appreciate you giving up so much time to watch the series!

[@tq2655]

Just found your site and watched all 8 videos. Really enjoyed. Thanks for the info and most importantly the cost figure at the end. So many people do not do that. Just awesome. Thanks

[@GotItMade]

Tom Quinn Thank you for watching the series, Tom. I really appreciate you taking that much time watch them all. I appreciate the compliments.

[@shocktrooper8443]

It's always a pleasure to see a fellow "southern man" rise to the occasion and help his "fellow man". This pole barn series you put together has opened my eyes wide open about what to expect when I build mine this summer. Thank you very much "suh"!

[@joekirklin]

Awesome, awesome, awesome video series. This is a great bit of education for me, as I am not a construction guy by trade. The amount of work you've put into these videos (and other material) is incredibly valuable to me. Big thanks to you!

[@c.brooks7199]

so I am one of the faithful...I watched every part of the process......I grew up in a construction family and I know a good deal about building, that being said, I really learned a lot about building a pole barn and want to thank you for all the detail you put into the video....its been a big help and the last part about cost,and afterthoughts was SUPER helpful....thank you for doing this video series !!!!

[@GotItMade]

Thans for the great feedback and kind words, Clint. I really appreciate it. I'm glad the videos have helped folks out and given you some of your own ideas. Makes it all worthwhile for me!

[@Jack-rg6xf]

I don't see how anything could be any better. Awesome job from start to finish. It would probably take me longer on sketch up to draw the building than it did you to actually build it. First class all the way!

[@noroomforgloom]

Nine years ago ????? Awesome project. Hope you are doing well my friend. It’s July 2023 and I’m just seeing your how to build a pole barn. Very inspirational and well done. Thanks, Jerry

[@timmer305]

Thanks for the time you spent on detail, as a carpenter myself I think you did a great job for DIYers. I even picked up few pointers myself. great job

[@GotItMade]

Great encouragement, Tim. I appreciate the reinforcement!

[@Sellarmusic]

This series is impressive. You should be as proud of the videos as you are of the pole barn. The wrap up video to look at everything in retrospect is a great idea and really helpful.

[@GotItMade]

Sellarmusic I really appreciate the great feedback and kind words. Thanks for taking the time to watch and share!

[@andrewstein4037]

Great series! I just watched it from beginning to end, Ill be revisiting your videos come spring when I start to build mine. Thank you for making these videos!

[@jphomebrew]

This is great! You’re a natural teacher. No b.s.

[@BubbaIXI88]

Just finished all the videos. You done good brotha

[@GotItMade]

BUBBA BELL Outstanding! Thanks for the views and encouragement!

[@greenday8375]

[@129porsche129]

You put in a crap load of work outside of the actual building process...very much appreciated.

[@GotItMade]

You're welcome. I have fun doing the videos. It definitely adds more time but I like doing it.

[@bretpatterson1946]

Love the “out takes” at the end. Great video series!!

[@blenderbenderguy]

This series was awesome, your down home approach is just plain easy and fun to watch, and the fact that you actually respond to every comment (given the large number of comments) is unheard of. Thanks a ton for your efforts!

[@GotItMade]

blenderbenderguy Thanks, Blender. I really appreciate you taking a minute to send me some kind words of encouragement. It inspires me. I always try to respond to folks who take the time to say hello. I will admit that it is getting more and more difficult to keep up though. Unfortunately, there may come a day when I can't but for now I'm gonna keep trying.

[@papasteve5565]

I thought I heard a Tn. accent on your videos. We have a little farm just east of Knoxville. I've been doing landscaping and tree work for the past year but we haven't worked in over a week now with all this weather. I'm so dang tired of wet weather I cant wait for spring to get to building and planting. Glad I found your site, you do good work.

[@yoshii1947]

I have to repeat what everyone else has said. I found you Pole Barn series and watched it from start to finish. I think you even convinced me to build a Pole Barn, even though I live in an apartment. Seriously, your videos are the best I have seen and I watch a ton of How-To videos on all kinds of subjects. Thanks!

[@GotItMade]

yo Ic Thanks you for the kind words and encouragement, Yo. I really appreciate it.

[@bwbark]

Feddie, I know this video series is old news but I just recently found it. Brother this series was awesome!

[@GotItMade]

+Bruce B Thank you Bruce. I really appreciate you watching!

[@haroldklak5624]

I have built a house and various other buildings, but never a pole shed of any sort. Very informative - awesome job!!

[@cristinajohnson7386]

What a FANTASTIC video series! Oh my GAWD you went above and beyond - better than a Home Depot book. We are looking for basic (BASIC) building information to start a homestead and your videos have been the best by far. Thank you so much for your time and dedication and patience in making these videos. Just one question: What kind of nail gun was that? It looked awful heavy! Electric?

[@GotItMade]

+Cristina Johnson Thank you, Cristina! So glad it helped out. It's a Passlode electric framing nailer.

[@egm7671]

I watched the whole 8-part series of this project. The meticulousness and the clean organization of the project (video presentation/editing and actual implementation) are very impressive. More power to you. Looking forward to your own TV show later on at the DIY network.

[@tbc10851]

Stone Cold Steve Austin showing me how to make a pole barn? Uhm, hells yes. Just watched all of em, great job man.

[@tompresley639]

I am in the process of planning a 30x30 pole barn myself and have been searching the internet to get ideas on the total process. Not too many none company people take the time or make the effort showing others the beginning steps to the finished product in which they went about planning and carrying out the building process like you have done and like you I don't want to hire someone else to do the building process; I want to do it. I personally want to thank you for taking the time for documenting then sharing your project and techniques in all 8 of your videos which I am downloading as I type. Your videos have answered a great deal of questions I had from the first step to the last. The only draw back I will have in my own project is that I am a truck driver on the road for a good bit of time but after seeing your videos I now know how I can have a good quality pole barn just doing a little at a time; step by step paying attention to detail. You would make a very good Instructor or Teacher. I have spoken to salesmen in my area about purchasing a pole barn kit and they all tell me I need a concrete pad but I believe that a gravel pad will work better for me and save me money. Question: I noticed you didn't do a concrete pad; to save money or just didn't want one? Thank you again.

[@jasonevans8680]

I cannot commend you enough for this series, it is incredible. The idea of taking on the barn project alone is awesome, but then to film it, edit it and build learning peripherals is just amazing. Thank you so much, this gives me a great view of my barn that I am about to begin, except now I see it with eyes wide open. Incredible job!!

[@brianmoreland7275]

Thank you for making this series and sharing your work. I watched this again and again before starting my barn in November of 2022. I hope to finish by Nov 2023. A lot of head scratching like you mentioned. It’s been a great reference and inspiration.

[@jameswilson9548]

Fabulous video, full of tips and knowledge. I am about to build a pole barn, and have searched vigorously on a Complete start to finish video and detailed instructions, cost, etc; Thanks, I enjoyed it, and I learned from your explanations without leaving crucial details for one to figure out, on their own.

[@farmerjoebrown2189]

Thanks for taking the time to break it all down! Helps us little guys a lot

[@robertfairchild1997]

Really impressed with not just the construction, which is really amazing but also with the care and attention you put into the making and presentation of these videos. You have a great presence on camera, it was like watching and listening to a good friend or brother tell an interesting story. Kept thinking “man I wish I were there helping I’d learn so damn much”! Thanks again.

[@DirtyDan243]

Feddie- I wish I had had this instruction about 10 yrs ago. I built a barn for a lady back then and I really thought I was gonna lose it from thinking/worrying about all the little details that kept jumping up to bite me, not to mention all the sleep I lost. I'd wake up at 3 or 4 in the morning and the brain would engage on the details of this project & I just could not go back to sleep. This is a fantastic series and I enjoyed it immensely. The side comments are entertaining, I guess because a lot of it is exactly what I would say. Oh- one thing I might do differently is pour concrete pilings in sonotubes, set some brackets in them and then bolt my posts to that. I read some of the comments on the posts rotting and that change might help with that. Keep up the great work and Semper Fi.

[@GotItMade]

DirtyDan243 Great feedback, Dan. I appreciate all the kind words. I'm really glad this series is helping folks out. Makes me feel good to know that. Semper Fi!

[@wagstail4804]

I've always said there's nothing you can't do if you put your mind to it........Very well done ...GOO JOB!!!!!

[@GotItMade]

Thanks for the compliment. I appreciate it and thanks for watching my videos!

[@v.l.adcock8937]

I watched your complete pole barn video series. You said if you watch it now or 5 years later... It is actually 6 years (2020) and it is still an awesome series!

[@aufish2311]

I am building a 12x36 run in for my horses and came upon your videos. I found them so informative that I changed my thinking on how to do my structure. Very well done and informative.

[@tonybaker7596]

Watched all 8 videos. Plain-spoken and easy to understand. Outstanding detail. I am a man of moderate construction ability and this has reminded me I can do this sort of work, and have before in my young life. If I take my time and plan ahead I'll be fine. Thanks for restoring the confidence in myself.

[@GotItMade]

Tony Baker Thanks for watching, Tony. I appreciate the kind words. I'm glad the videos gave you some ideas and inspiration!

[@DIYonTheFly4u]

I am no internet expert, but I thought you did an excellent job! Watched this series twice.

[@keepitfair9]

I just watched 1 - 8 on your Pole Barn videos...WOW! I don't know of anyone that is as informative as you my friend. I couldn't stop watching and listening, you just had so much detail I didn't want to miss! My wife thinks I pay too much attention to detail, wait till she watches one of your videos. The amount of time you took right from the start in preparing the ground was amazing. But it proved without a doubt it was all worth it with the way everything from that point went like butter. Thank you, my hat is off to you sir!

[@GotItMade]

Gerard Genovese Thanks you for the kind words and great encouragement, Gerard. I really appreciate it and I'm glad the series helped you out.

[@60882tc]

Awesome video series! If this doesn't help out any diy barn builders... nothing will. Thanks for the information.

[@GotItMade]

Thanks!

[@davidperson250]

I am building a pole barn home over the next year and I really enjoyed watching your series. Thank you for making it and helping newbies like me to gain some knowledge. If you need a good laugh, you should watch the entire series with the closed captions on. Pretty funny to see how your accent is perceived by it.

[@elis51501]

Awesome Siri we’re wrapping up to build a 36 x 36 pole barn with 12 years and I’m sure a lot of this information will help when we put ours together thanks again great job

[@DennJames]

The most detailed video series I have seen on building a pole barn. Awesome!

[@GotItMade]

Dennis Comstock Thanks Dennis. I appreciate the compliments!

[@gunner1656]

I've watched all eight parts of this Pole Barn building series. I thank you so much....you're a very generous man for taking the time to create such helpful videos of your projects. I look forward to your future projects. I'll be following you as long as you keep posting, not to mention referencing back when I build my own Pole Barn. Thanks again!

[@GotItMade]

Gunner Thank you for the kind words and great encouragement. Keeps me inspired!

[@gunner1656]

You're welcome, the least I can do is give my appreciation. You make me even prouder of being a former Marine. Keep up the good work! Semper Fi.

[@CedarOutpost]

Watched the whole pole barn series. Really appreciate your attention to the details, the camera work, and the mock-up you took the time to make. Subscribed.

[@GotItMade]

Thanks for watching Cedar!

[@chacebryan1559]

Best serious on KZbin in my personal opinion. Excellent job done.

[@conegallery]

I'm planning on purchasing an all metal pole barn that will be assembled and finished by a General Contractor, but watching your building series taught me not only 'terms' (i.e. names for things) it helped me understand the process and with that knowledge I can plan, design and communicate my ideas, much better in the long run... Thank you for your generosity of spirit for taking the time to create this video series. It's very helpful.

[@hal4utube]

If you remember, I placed a comment early on in this series of videos. At that time I thought your videos and work were fantastic. You never let me down. All the videos from part 1 through part 8 were all encompassing with valuable information throughout each episode. I'm sure I will never build a poll barn. At 71 it's a little late for me to do that kind of work but I do plan to build a storage building for my 4-wheeler and trailer. Probably 12X12 or 12X14 and the ideas and techniques I've learned by watching your series of videos will really pay off. Thank you so much for taking the time to help everyone who aspires to build any structure.

[@GotItMade]

Thanks for checking back in. I remember you watching and commenting on the previous videos. I appreciate you watching and I really appreciate the compliments. I hope the series helps folks out if they try it on their own or at least gives them an understanding of what's involved if they hire it done. I'm glad you haven't put your tool belt down yet. Good for you at 71! If you were close by I'd come over and help on your shed. We'd have a big ole time!

[@hal4utube]

***** You may be closer than you think. It sounds to me from listening to you on the videos that you may be from Alabama, Mississippi, Tennessee or Georgia. Not sure where you are but I'm in Mississippi. You probably noticed that my storage building has gone from something smaller (8X10 or 10 X10) to 12X12 or 12X14. It doesn't make any difference what size I make it, I'll have the same problem you have, it will be too small. I'm like you though, I want to do it by myself. It's the satisfaction of accomplishing something and knowing you did it without help. I'm not going to go so far as to cut down the trees and mill the lumber myself. And mine won't be as high as yours and I'm thinking of a lean-to roof. Flat with a slope from front to back. The things I've learned from watching your videos will come in handy no matter what the size of the building. Get is square first and get the holes level and so much more. Thanks again.

[@GotItMade]

I'm in East Tennessee. Close in spirit and culture anyway!

[@tonysmith4885]

Well I didn't realize that when I searched for "How To Build A Pole Barn" I would come across something so detailed and well explained. I have to admit I admire your dedication and hard work to making sure everything was done the proper way. Yes as you said there were some things that you would have done different here or there but for the most part you were dead nuts on. I recently purchased a home on 1-1/2 acres and would love to put a barn on the back side of our lot and these videos have really gotten me over the fear of trying this on my own. Thanks again for your helpfulness to mankind and I have subscribed to the channel to see what other videos I've missed before this series and can't wait for future updates.

[@GotItMade]

Tony Smith Thank you for the great feedback and kind words, Tony. I really appreciate it. I'm glad the videos have given you some ideas and helped you find some inspiration. Good luck on your project and lemme know how it goes!

[@waynecoley4876]

I watched this for a second time. I just can’t get up the nerve to get started, because like you I would be doing most of the work myself (I’m 56 fat and outta shape). It hurts me to pay so much extra for someone else to do the construction. Also, I don’t have room to have everything delivered at once and by doing it myself I could get material as it is needed. I appreciate the time you took to create the video series.

[@ter757]

Just finished watching all of the vids on the pole barn. Hands down you did a wonderful job on the down to earth facts on the project. But the truth is what kept me watching all the shows is, Hey I am from Georgia and brother YOU are ever bit just as country as I am, and it was just a joy to watch and laugh at some of your comments that I TOTALLY get . Thanks so much for your efforts and keep up the good work!

[@GotItMade]

+Terry Davis Thanks Terry. I appreciate the kind words. I really appreciate it!

[@gregnugent5678]

Excellent series of videos. I actually have to say I'm sorry to see your building complete to where there won't be any more in the series. This series should answer any questions anyone would have that was curious about building their own. Thanks for the time and details you included to make these. Great job!

[@GotItMade]

Thanks, Greg. I appreciate the compliments! I'm really glad to have this thing done. Well, kinda done. I've spent the last couple of days assessing the things left to do. Trim, siding, doors, etc. It will keep me busy this summer! This weekend I leveled up the floor with a couple loads of dirt and spread about ten tons of crush & run. Then I poured about six bags of Portland cement on it, wet it real good, and ran a compactor over it. This morning it was hard as can be. Poor man's concrete. We'll see how it holds up over time.

[@gregnugent5678]

I was hoping to start mine shortly but am having a hard time to find someone to do the site work first. Unfortunately I have about a 3' or so drop in the 48' distance from one end of it to the other and pretty much no other location for it to be of benefit. Once again great work.

[@johnshipe4337]

I just sat and watched your 8 part videos series on How to Build a Pole Barn. I really liked it a lot. It was very informative. I don't feel as afraid to tackle building my own pole barn. Thank You!

[@davidtomesek6595]

All I can say is WOW! Definitely the best pole barn building video I've ever seen. You got my thumbs up. The addition materials list and spreadsheet work you have done is exceptional. I have alway wanted to build my own barn and now feel confident (with your video) that I am capable. Great work and Thanks.

[@GotItMade]

+David Tomesek Thanks David!

[@rkroz4005]

Great series. I can relate to doing it alone! Your documentation of this project will be invaluable as we start our structure. Thanks for taking the time to share your experience!

[@charleshitchens1096]

watched every episode of the pole barn series.....awesome job. I've subscribed and looking forward to more videos

[@randyard3521]

By far the best video series describing in detail how to construct a pole barn. I watched the entire series and appreciate the effort you took in describing each aspect of the project. Absolutely one of the best video series on the web.

[@GotItMade]

+Randy Ard Thanks Randy. I really appreciate the views and the kind words!

[@alaskafrontiergunsmithtaxi6234]

I was planning on building a few pole barns on the homestead. And after viewing all the videos in this series, I see things that will definitely help. Thanks.

[@jamespuffenbarger9303]

I will tell you great barn build I watched from start to finish and it was very helpful for I'm getting ready to do my own build .

[@TNSnapperhead]

I have now watched this series about 4 times total.. And I always pickup something I missed. Thanks Feddie !

[@GotItMade]

+TNBigHorn Thank you! Huge time investment you made. I appreciate it!

[@TNSnapperhead]

I have to admit.. I still laugh my ass off at the "slicker than a minner's dick" comment... Classic southern humor :)

[@ronrussell8148]

Very, very impressive work...the videos were straightforward and covered step-by-step all the average Joe would need to know to make an attempt to make a barn or storage shed. The TV show "THIS OLD HOUSE" certainly could use a good ole country boy to show them a thing or two...... great job.

[@howardwtaylor]

Just got finished watching the whole shootin match. Very well done. The attention to detail with the various sketchup models is really over the top. Great job.

[@melancholyG]

If you are not the most consummate professional who is! What fantastically thorough video! Just great, THanks

[@GotItMade]

[@GotItMade]

+Kurt Osborn Thanks Kurt!

[@ButchShelton]

Probably the best instruction video I have seen on building a pole barn. Thanks for taking the time to help out people like me.

[@GotItMade]

Really appreciate the encouragement, Butch!

[@dennisbanners4219]

Thanks for your time and effort to document this! Also enjoyed the bits of humor thrown in. You have know idea how much time (and corrections) you will save me by your step-by-step process.

[@GotItMade]

+Dennis “AKDENNIS” Banners Outstanding. I'm really glad it helped out. Thanks for watching!

[@petesweger7649]

Down home style, but make no mistake in thinking this is anything less than amazing. The project itself is well thought out and executed. Your presentation is phenomenal. I hope you take pride in both. I enjoyed watching the series and in an alternate life I would have asked to be your apprentice. Thank you.

[@mikeclegg6759]

You did a great job on all video's...... Thank you for being precise / detailed items you done to prepare in the beginning

It sure was nice to sit down under my barn and enjoy the first really nice day of spring! Thanks for watching Denny. Stay in touch!

[@dangeorge6318]

I watched the entire series one evening and enjoyed your practical approach to building this pole barn. The time you spend on the last video explaining what you would do differently was great. Thanks.

[@erinmiclearn]

Hey Feddie. My name is Mike and I've been watching your pole barn series throughout the winter. Great job on the pole barn. I like the way you framed it by notching the posts and using the bookshelf girt style. Getting ready to start my 32x 48 as soon as the weather cooperates. Im in upstate ny and the frost is still in the ground. You helped keep me motivated this winter watching you. Like the way you think , and how you take your time making things square, also like your idea of getting the posts on the same plane by adjusting the concrete. Im going to try to utilize that as I will be going at it mostly on my own. Thanks for the series, lots of good tips. Keep up the great work!

[@GofishTony]

My wife and I just finished watching all of your videos in this Pole Barn series. The editing was fantastic and with just the right amount of detail. I too like to build alone and found it refreshing to see that it CAN be done. I will certainly heed your advise and get help when and where needed. I also snagged your material list and SketchUp model... to both help MY build as well as support your future projects.

[@GotItMade]

Thank you for the kind words Tony!

[@scotthawkins9873]

Just watched your pole barn video series in one sitting LOL - couldn't break away from it. I'm trying to work up the courage to build one like this myself, but will try to put in garage doors on the bays (not sure how yet). Thanks so much for all the incredible detail you put into the series, as well as transparency on cost. You rock!

[@johnvinyard114]

Awesome series on the plow barn build. I know it’s about 5 years old but I really enjoy watching it and am amazed you took the time to make the models and provided all the detailed information. After watching all the videos I feel like I actually know you. Lol. Thanks again awesome work.

[@LApoolboy6068]

Just finished the pole barn series and wished I had seen this before I built my tractor shed. This is much nicer and more functional. Maybe I will add on and use this as a guide! I really enjoy your presentation style and look foreard to more of your videos. Your website is already on my favorites list.

[@GotItMade]

Thanks for watching, James. Sorry the vids came too late but I hope you get some use out of them somewhere down the road. I appreciate you taking a look at all my stuff!

[@Catfishingfreak1]

I was going to have a 26X40 pole barn built by a contractor. My buddy has built quite a few and kept nagging me that he wanted to help build my pole barn and save me the $4000 labor cost. I watched your series and it changed my mind. It's a lot of work but with him having access to the Bobcat with auger, Skytrak, Cement Truck, Lazer Level, Airless Nailers etc I couldn't say no to that. So we will be starting this August 2014. Thanks for all the hard work of putting this series together. I know how much time it takes to put together videos with all the camera set up editing involved. Great Job!

[@GotItMade]

You got er licked now! I'd take your buddy up on the offer. Not for the help but for the chance to play with all his cool toys! Ha! Thanks for watching the series and for the kind words. I appreciate it.

[@pjseiber2774]

Fantastic video series, watched from start to finish great job.👍👍

Came across your video's and watched them all. I'm planning on building a 40x50 Pole Building. Thank you on taking the time and producing a very high quality tutorial of the project. I'm an advanced DIY'R and feel very confident on starting mine after watching this. Very helpful, Great job! Take care brother. Eric

[@ghandiji2166]

Watch all 8 videos. Its indeed a wealth of information and it is free ! Now I can built my own barn (I think lol) Thank you and thank you without end ! This is the best of best on the internet and youtube and it is very very detail. You're a hero ! a true teacher and friend of humanity......keep up the good work of spreading knowledge and experience for humanity ! Blessing to you and your family

[@kenhowsam6951]

This is one of the best video series I found on building a pole barn. Your description and methods plus video demonstrating how and more importantly why you did what you did was very helpful. Thank you for your time and diligence on putting this series together.

[@ntsysop1]

I really enjoyed your work on both the pole barn and the video. I have built several barns and some ALL ALONE! Learned something each time. You are a good host and illustrator. Thanks bro!!

[@GotItMade]

Mark Thanks for the kind words, Mark. I appreciate you watching.

[@onairhandyman]

I have shared this series with a few people to help them understand what a pole barn actually is. I am in the beginning stages of building a 2 story 24x40 that is very similar to your setup. Mine will have a living area on the top story. I will be building this within inches of my house so that it can be attached and have my master bedroom above the garage accessible by stairs from the main home. Thank you for taking the time to put all of this together. It has really helped me visualize what I was struggling to see in my head.

[@GotItMade]

Matthew Caudill Thanks for watching and sharing the kind words. I really appreciate it. Good luck on your project and lemme know how it turns out!

[@saranjesse23]

Hey I have watched this from day one to the end. I have spent a lot of hours here at the computer, but would have cost a fortune to learn everything if you put it in perspective. So I saw it as free knowledge. I want to build a 40x60 similar but for a house...I know some people may frown on the idea of living in a "pole barn", but hey I'm young and want to live mortgage free. I had an idea on where to start but you will save me so much time in planning and materials list etc. It is so much easier to learn from someone else than to learn by mistake...and its cheaper to not have to buy another 6x6 post if I cut it wrong. I love all of your videos and love how you go through each simple minute step that may seem common sense to some but not all. You are a great teacher and I really appreciate all of the videos. from Missouri

Great comments and feedback. I really appreciate your kind words. Really glad you have found some inspiration from the video. Man, you have invested a lot of time in watching them. Thanks! Sounds like you have a plan for your house. I think it will be cool. Lemme know how it goes. I'd like to see how it turns out. Good luck!

Just watched all 8, as a North Carolina GC i would like to say nice job!! I am getting ready to start a 20 X 36. You gave me some good ideas on my roof framing, i am old school and was going to stick frame 16" on center, i think now wider spacing with purlins saves a lot of extra work and $. I also have a Kabota with implements that need to be out of the weather. Thanks for your time for this video, very helpful.

Awesome, Jeff. Thanks for watching.

You do a great job showing all the little details. This is probably one of the last set of videos I watched before going out to Oregon and building a patio cover at my mom's, and the steps you showed with attention to detail helped make that project a success.

That is one hell of a pole barn, and this may be the most indepth how to series on KZbin. Good job.

TheBrabham59 Thanks for watching. I really appreciate the compliments!

I learned a lot watching your series. I watched it back then when you put the video out. We built two open pole barns for our travel trailers 14x40 . I didn't follow all of your methods exactly but took a lot from it. I didn't bury the poles I used quicrete tube piers. I trimmed top of pole vs trying to sink them precise. Came out pretty good, so thank you.

[@scottfonner]

I appreciate the your efforts, well done. Don't have time to do all you did, hiring a pole building company. I needed the information for the foundation work I'll be doing, but watched them all, thanks again. Scott, Middletown, PA

[@GotItMade]

Thanks Scott!

[@swinesmoker]

Faddie, I just finished watching the series, as I'm going to start something like this soon. You've answered a lot of my questions that I've asked myself while cutting grass..You've kept the KISS process in tact and that has helped alot. Thanks again and gotcha subscribed now.

[@GotItMade]

Thanks for the great feedback, Kevin. I appreciate you watching and I'm glad the videos have given you some of your own ideas and inspiration. That's my only hope in making these videos. Lemme know how your project goes. Send me some pics along the way. I'd like to see your progress.

[@reeferette6944]

We r gettin ready to build a pole barn, not as nice as yours, for our horses & your videos were FANTASTIC for helping us get started ~~~~ thanx for all your help & now to your website !!!!!!

[@GotItMade]

reeferette69 Thanks for watching. I appreciate your kid words. Glad they helped out. Lemme know how yours turns out. I'd like to see some updates along the way!

[@g1mpster]

I watched your entire series as I'm getting ready to build my own 36x60x20 pole barn. Doing all the work myself and while there are going to be differences in construction methods (plus there will be a second floor in mine), your videos have been excellent at getting my head around a lot of these construction techniques that will be new to me. It's been a great way to ease my concerns and your tips will be very valuable in getting the job done right the first time. Great series, keep up the good work!

[@jmac6242]

After watching this series, can't seem to find the words I want to say. So, I reference John Green's comments and 2nd that! Really enjoyed every part and appreciate the time & effort you took explaining things. Looking forward to checking out your website. Thank you for the link to Trimble Sketchup.

[@GotItMade]

[@GotItMade]

+Ken Harvey Yes! Thanks you Ken!

[@royhunsberger3409]

I have been thinking of building a pole barn or shed for some time now. I watched your whole series of videos and was really impressed with all you shared. You are definitely a high quality builder and also a good teacher at what you do. You gave me several ideas that I had not thought of. Thanks for sharing your project and techniques.

[@mikechacker7228]

This is the best content for pole barns I have seen on KZbin. I’ll be purchasing the plan just because I want to support you and the great job you have done. Well done keep the content rolling.

[@GotItMade]

+Mike Chacker thank you mike! I really appreciate the encouragement and support!

[@TheFSeries]

I have watched all the parts of this project, and I have to say, it's an EXTREMELY well executed job. Good job, sit in there under the shade and have a cold one while enjoying your hard work.

[@GotItMade]

Thanks Wesley. I appreciate you watching so faithfully. Hope the videos helped stir some of your own ideas!

[@TheFSeries]

I've built a few sheds, but yours has shown me "Better" methods than my own for future reference.

[@GotItMade]

Good deal. Glad it helped out.

[@ronwoodsmd]

Wow, I didn't know that I wanted to build a pole barn until I finished watching your eight videos. I enjoyed the videos, and I sincerely appreciate the time it took you to do them. Thank you.

[@GotItMade]

ronwoodsmd Ha. That's a great compliment. Thanks for watching.

[@timrichardson3676]
