Pallet Barn Start to Finish

[@brandonanderson5001]

I save every scrap piece of wood I can get I have about 500 pallets and build storage buildings, after your video guess I'm building a barn for my pigs and goats thank you for sharing this May you have a blessed day sir 🙏

[@homesteadmississippi710]

Thank you and I'm glad I could stir up some inspiration!

[@northernkarma9296]

That's awesome, I love it!! Absolutely perfect for what I want in a goat shed. Just enough room for a couple of Mommas, some kiddos and a milking stanchion. Just perfect!💕

[@homesteadmississippi710]

Thank you very much!

[@hollandspinehaven2634]

we built a pallet shed 8 years ago and it has surivived 2 cat 3 hurricanes... I would love to try building this barn..

[@homesteadmississippi710]

Good stuff! Thanks for watching!

This video is amazing thank you for sharing this I am trying to make a homestead myself I’m really glad I came across your channel This build is amazing

[@homesteadmississippi710]

Thank you very much!

[@ericnuchols270]

Thank you! Great pallet idea! Built a shed last year out of pallets. I purchased a piece of property recently and I now have a vision of a barn. Nice work brother!!!

[@homesteadmississippi710]

Thank you very much!

super nice. the goats are very happy!

[@homesteadmississippi710]

Yes they are. Thank you for watching.

[@cheflorenzo4491]

I never watch anything longer than 5 minutes. In your case, I made an exception and I'm glad I did. I learned a lot from you. Thanks for sharing your expertise.

[@homesteadmississippi710]

Wow, what a compliment, and thank you.... thanks for watching!

[@earlallen2343]

I enjoyed watching the build, and I happen to enjoy the music also. Really good job I think 👍. God bless you and your family, I hope the barn holds up for many, many years to come man

Thank you very much!

[@angelaserna4045]

The Barn looks Great! Your Goats are Handsome,Pretty, Healthy looking! I started watching your channel just since June. Don’t know too much your family and animals. Praying for healing for your finger! Praying for your whole family in regards to the passing of Aurora!

I’m in the process of building a pallet fence! Good idea!

[@andrewpaige6571]

I thoroughly enjoyed watching you put this project together is an amazing what you can do with those pieces of wood and 10. I’m looking forward to seeing much more of what you can do.

[@homesteadmississippi710]

Thank you very much!

[@onamissionfortruth6326]

Wow - this is the COOLEST! Genius. It's perfect for your babies. It really is creative. Love the idea and where there's a will....you can figure it out and you certainly did at the highest level. Great job!

[@homesteadmississippi710]

Thank you soooo much!

[@MichaelHolt-g1d]

Nice video, enjoyed watching along and enjoyed the music in the background as well

[@homesteadmississippi710]

Thank you very much!

[@1draygo]

I love this barn. I'm starting a goat farm and this would be a great barn to build. I have watched the video several times trying to figure out how the upper level is attached to the lower level. That is the only problem I'm having figuring out. Everything else was very well explained. Thank you

[@homesteadmississippi710]

Thank you for watching! Notice the 4x4s in the middle of the barn...... that and I used some scrap 2x4s to stake the top pallets in with top floor joists. Primarily the 4x4s are the anchors. It is perfect for the goats and sheep.... and they love it. Also, since attaching the gate, it is super easy to feed them and close them in whenever needed.

[@1draygo]

Thank you so much. That makes sense

[@AngelaDarst-x6z]

Nice job love music ❤ have a very Mary Christmas 🎄🎁 an have a good happy New Year's bless you

Looks really good 👍👍! Might want to spray the wood with some Thompson water sealer and maybe treat it with something for termites. 👍👍

[@homesteadmississippi710]

Absolutely.... That's all in the works! Thank you for watching!

[@bradh74]

Smart build! I wish we could get away with that up here but with the snow and all the building codes we'd be in trouble with the courts. Nice video I hope that everything works out for you!

[@homesteadmississippi710]

[@jamesmcdonald5868]

This isn't too far off the beaten path of when farmers used to build holding barns with just slats on them and an enclosed roof. Spot on my Mississippi brother from your Detroit.Brother living in tennessee!

[@homesteadmississippi710]

Thank you very much.

[@johnnymack8442]

The same thing happened to me once. And that's why i no longer use a drill to drive screws. I got myself a ¼ inch impact driver. Works great.

[@homesteadmississippi710]

Yeah, that would be better..... there is one available now so I need to start using it! Thank you for watching!

[@serenepeacefulrelaxingmusi3874]

This video is such a great idea. 😀 I did have trouble hearing you over the very loud music at the beginning of the video(edited to add that I like the music - it's very nice and upbeat, but my ears are a bit sensitive). I was wondering if you might have a way of turning that down a little so we can actually hear what you are saying clearly? Thank you very much. 😀 Wow! The pallet barn turned out brilliantly! The goats seem so happy with their new home. 😀

[@homesteadmississippi710]

Thank you very much. Unfortunately, I can't adjust the volume at this point unless there is a trick that I do not know..... however, if the music was playing, then I probably wasn't saying anything of great importance. But I do hear what many have said and will ensure this is not a continuing problem with my videos.

I like it!! I made one my self but no near as good as this one looks but mine gets the job done also. Great work.

[@homesteadmississippi710]

Thank you very much! Humbled and appreciative of such a compliment from someone who also has built a pallet barn.

[@BigEsfarm]

@ yours really out done mine for sure but will serve the same purpose in the long run most everything from mine was completely free other than the screws so I can’t complain much

[@homesteadmississippi710]

[@unstoppableman5273]

Came up nice mate. Perfect for the goats.

[@homesteadmississippi710]

Thank you very much!

[@turningwrenches9524]

The loft doesnt look like it transfers the load to the ground. Meaning it looks like the loft is dependent on the beam that runs front to back which are attached to the 4x4s with screws. Maybe add some support under everywhere that is suspended by the screws. Looks great though!

[@homesteadmississippi710]

I appreciate your insight. Thanks for watching.

[@GenMejia21]

It turned out great!!

[@homesteadmississippi710]

Yes it did. Thank you.

[@blaineverhelle4104]

Great project. Good use of pallets. I don't understand why you'd put 2x4s flat for roof joists but you must not have a snow load. 👍

[@homesteadmississippi710]

We don't get much snow around here.... the most we get once every 10 years might be 8 to 10 inches.... then it's gone quickly. Most years we might get a dusting once or twice up to 2 or 3 inches. Thank you for watching!

[@FK-GOOGLE]

Great job! Because of weight of hay, please consider some joist hangers.

[@homesteadmississippi710]

[@MoffettCreations]

Good evening sir! Really enjoyed the video. I was wondering about the longevity of the pallets being on the ground like that. Will they last with them not being treated?

[@homesteadmississippi710]

Thanks for watching! First, most of them are heat treated. However, they are very protected by the aluminum roofing we put on the sides. It stays bone dry inside. I think they will last for quite a while.

[@MoffettCreations]

Amazing build? So how many pallets did it take total? And where'd you source em?

[@homesteadmississippi710]

Thank you, we got them mostly from the local Nabors. Some of them we got from the local feed store. Total used was 34.

[@opp7981]

great job! question on 2x4s you used on the roof, is it better to put the 2x4s on their side vs face down for strength?

[@homesteadmississippi710]

Thank you for watching and great question! For strength it is definitely stronger on the sides and if this were a house, that's how they would be..... but for a simple barn build such as this, face down is strong enough. In fact, wouldn't use 2x4s on a house, would use 2x6 or 8s. But great question and thank you!

[@sic-n-tiredtired4273]

Came out sweet, I love pallet builds i have a green house and a shed built ou of them. but why did you have the 2x4 Rafters laying flat ? Never seen that before.

[@homesteadmississippi710]

This was done on another farm that I work at and some of the other structures were built that way so I decided to stay with the status quo. Plus it was less cuts for me to make. And thank you for watching!

[@sic-n-tiredtired4273]

@homesteadmississippi710 that's definitely a much quicker and easier way to do it i was just wondering about the strength, but dang if that holds up I'll be doing mine that way from now on thanks again for the video.

[@homesteadmississippi710]

@sic-n-tiredtired4273 they'll hold up..... I walked on the tin for other work. Tieing them in with the laterals gave them extra strength. I wouldn't do that for a house and OSB on top of them.... but just for thin sheets of metal roofing for a little barn.... DONE!

Good job man....

[@homesteadmississippi710]

Thank you very much!

[@Sleekfalcon]

It is nice work; I am just curious what will hold the lean to roofs up as the boards were not installed in a structural way. Installing them vertically like floor joist is what gives the support. Even without a heavy load the boards will warp over time causing the roof to sag. I'd hate to see a beautiful structure like this to have failure. I have been wanting to see something like this done as I have thought about it myself. However, I have much larger animals to house so I have been in debate on what to do for my situation.

[@homesteadmississippi710]

Thank you for your thoughtful insight. I think all will be well and I will be around to fix anything that goes wrong. Thank you very much for the compliments as well and thank you for watching.

Possibly could put a door on top for a bale of hay to go through to the ground. Just would slide bale of hay,open door and push hay bale out. Could put a mound of sand on the ground where hay bale comes out to cushion it when it drops to the ground. If you see at a garage sale a small exercise trampoline. Get it and position it where hay bale drops, bounce right off.😉

Ok, i will pass that along! Lol.... thank you for watching!

[@gowest5145]

It is just so expensive to build anything now. This is a great idea. I would like to get a milking cow, I would love to have one. I don't know if I would like the milking part though. We would have to build a barn for it. A horse would be nice too. My youngest sister was born with spinal bifida and she passed away at 10. I was 5 when she was born. It is difficult to lose a sibling and terrifying too.

[@homesteadmississippi710]

Yes, pallets are relatively inexpensive. We added a bunch of extra onto this barn but you could do one for under $1000 without a loft..... and do it a little at a time if needed.
