How To Build 30x60 x16' Amish Pole Barn Detached Garage Post Frame Building Construction Time Lapse

[@trentdunhoft8387]

Awesome video and PFB! I'm going through the same process, what were your image/photo specs? Ever 3 minutes a photo, exposure speed etc...?

[@BrandonStunts]

Thank you!! I used GoPro’s. My time lapse settings were 4K | 1s I L. I believe that’s one picture per second, but I’m not sure. I played with the speed in daVinci resolve and sped it up quite a bit faster than it was recorded. I can’t remember the exact, but I think 400% (4 times faster) was the speed was added to the video in the timeline

Very nice Building, this crew really did a great job, just goes to show what can be accomplished in a few days working together, proud for you folks, always love to see a new building going up Good Luck!

[@BrandonStunts]

Yes, sir! Despite less kids wanting to get into the trades, there’s still some good skilled hard workers out there. I think they did a great job too, glad to hear you liked the video. Thanks for commenting

[@KobyHopkins-wh9oy]

Looks great, how do you feel about the post directly into the ground for such a nice building? I was thinking of doing the same but I would always think about them rotting out, any tips or tricks you did with this? I see the lower half is treated? Thanks!

[@BrandonStunts]

Honestly, I don't know. The vast majority of my videos is me doing the work personally, but the construction and concrete for the pole barn was hired out. I did all the prep work / machine work, electric, and everything else, but kind of trusted the builder. After they were dropped in the ground, I started second-guessing it and wondering if there was some kind of preparation I should have had them do, but I talked to the builder about it just to see his opinion. It was built last year and I was 40. He just said don't worry this building will last your lifetime lol. I'm hoping it'll be OK, but I'm a little concerned. I did some googling and reading, and stumbled upon this below...

[@BrandonStunts]

This is googles new AI conclusion, it was out of the top of the page and said based off of collected info... Treated wood posts in a pole barn can last more than 50 years without significant rot if they're in well-drained soil or sand and are properly treated. With proper maintenance and the right foundation, pole barns can last up to 100 years or more. However, some say the most commonly cited timeline is 40-60 years.

[@gbikes]

Do the post come pre made with the pressure treated on the bottom or do you sister them together yourself?

[@BrandonStunts]

They come premade

[@markegan1690]

Amazing, love the size , that’s some hard work, how much are you into it?

[@BrandonStunts]

Thank you, i’m really happy with it as well. I did all the land clearing and most of the before and after work myself, as shown in my other videos, but the building construction and concrete was subbed out. The building was $41,200, concrete was $22,500, and unfortunately had to bring in 42 tri axle loads of fill dirt for $10,500 to level the site

[@mrseensoking8023]

The video is good, but the downside is that the video is fast and the music is noisy.

[@BrandonStunts]

Thank you and thanks for the feedback. I’ll keep that in mind in the future.

[@armandoarias2788]

You guys did an amazing work how much was the labor for just the Fraiming work

[@BrandonStunts]

Thank you. It was $42,500 for constructing the building and the man doors / garage doors. The concrete with additional.

[@pintopilot]

@@BrandonStunts $42k for the structure AND the labor, or JUST the labor ?

[@DanielRochaGuzman]

How spaced apart are the boards on the side & top? Good work

[@BrandonStunts]

The trusses on the roof are spaced 4 foot apart and the 6 x 6 posts are spaced 8 foot apart.

[@BrandonStunts]

Sorry for the delay I must’ve missed this comment. Hopefully that answers your question, but if you were referring to something else, let me know.

[@ronalves9118]

Looks good, what company did you use? I live in south central PA and looking for a similiar barn this fall. Thank you Ron USCG RET

[@BrandonStunts]

Thanks Ron. It was installed the last week of 2022, between Christmas and New Year’s. Been a little over a year and a half, and I’m very happy with it. The company info should be in the description, but it’s called extreme pole barns I believe they’re out of the Lancaster area

[@BrandonStunts]

The way I did it was… I contacted a bigger, more known pole barn company. Explain to them everything I wanted and got a quote. Once I had more of the proper specs, I got rid of all the company information and pricing. Then just copied and pasted the main info to every pole barn company near my area requesting a quote. I don’t have any connection or affiliation with the guys that built this, but they were not only the least expensive, but also had the highest reviews of all the other inexpensive companies.

[@ronalves9118]

@@BrandonStunts Thank you for the help. Ron

[@BrandonStunts]

You’re welcome, good luck with it, and thank you for your service 🫡

[@JohnWinsemius]

what makes that a amish pole barn

[@BrandonStunts]

That’s a good question. I do most of the work myself on my channel, but this was hired out to an Amish building company out of Lancaster PA. I believe the only difference is it’s built by the Amish. The pole barn post frame construction process is pretty universal I believe.

[@mikeh4492]

Those 6x6 posts?

[@mikeh4492]

I found the answer in a comment, awesome building. Getting out of the army in a couple weeks and building something similar but much smaller on the family farm 👍

[@BrandonStunts]

Good to hear. I’m not always the fastest to these comments lol. Thanks though! I think the buildings awesome as well, I’m 41 and it’s been pretty much a lifelong dream since a teenager have a shop area like this to work out of.

[@BrandonStunts]

That’s awesome though! Wish I would’ve had it many years ago. Obviously found out that 6x6 was used, but good luck with your build. And most importantly, THANK YOU for serving 🫡 🇺🇸

[@Thisandthatdude]

For everyone wondering, those posts will rot rather rapidly. The posts should’ve been poured onto a concrete sono tube to avoid rot and to provide structural stability.

[@BrandonStunts]

The builder claimed that whatever the green bottoms were on the six by sixes would withstand being in the dirt 50 to 60 or more years. I'm not sure I believe that, but hoping for the best. They've been in the ground for 2 years and as of now look the exact same even when digging up some dirt around them to check.
