Brad, we built a 40 by 60 full metal building, with concrete floor, insulation, and a 12 ft porch. (roof 52 x 60) Just big enough for my Tractor and all my attachments ((brush cutter, bucket, forks, grapple, harrow, tooth bar on porch) with rear blade, box blade, land plane, still outside on grass). , plus all the tools for the equipment, and UTV, Farm Truck, yard tractors, etc. Also use this for a welding station and wood storage. This is about the right side and we considered a smaller building and then decided "pay for the pain just one time" and we have not regretted it. I think Deb is right.

[@PineyGroveHomestead]

This is our 3rd barn on the property and it was built just to store tractor implements. Definitely would have liked it to be 24x48 but we didn't have the space in that area to go bigger. The Mega Shed is 44x55 and the tractor and excavator will stay in there!

[@garlanwilkins2261]

[@jimbecker5675]

@@PineyGroveHomestead Yes, a well oiled team can really move things along. I had five young fellows who do this day-in, day-out to put up the building (I did the interior work) and they just kept going from a 7am start to 3pm when it was done, with only one short break. (I have a time lapse here on the 'Tube if you're interested) Like you, I did the site prep (30 ton of soil out; 60 ton of stone in with my BX22) so they had nothing get in the way of just putting it up quickly.

[@lebotnov66]

FYI: There is a product that can be used instead of eavestrough, which will prevent a dripline from happening. Basically, it's a group of 'louvres', mounted at least 5" below the edge of the roof. The water runs off the roof, falls, hits the louvres, which are a series of angled (about 40 degrees from horizontal) narrow slats, and is spread as a 'spray' over the ground below. The device has 3 to 4 slats from the roof edge outward. This allows for water flows of various amounts and runoff at differing speeds.

[@PineyGroveHomestead]

Interesting! We get a lot of heavy rains here in Florida.

[@tacticalsnoopy]

Looks great

[@PineyGroveHomestead]

Thanks! More to come on this building!

[@robertpearson2735]

Deb is probably right. I had a buddy that built pole barns and part of his job was going back about a year later to check with the customer. How they liked it, complaints, leaks, or any problems. He said almost everyone of them said they wish they would have made it bigger. Time will tell. Good luck.

[@PineyGroveHomestead]

They are never big enough! Here is our other barn: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aH-xgqGGlrV6bbc

[@earlyriser8998]

Pole barns and fences here in South Texas with a lot more clay do not rot out. The heet tin was worst for wear not the wood. But old posts were creosote not modern pressure treated.

[@PineyGroveHomestead]

Modern posts certainly don't have the treatment that the older ones had, that's for sure.

[@W1ldt1m]

That’s the same way we build up here in Michigan. I’ll be having one of my own put in pretty soon.

[@PineyGroveHomestead]

[@craigwilcoxen1536]

As an example to what you are saying about how and why you put your post in the ground. I put in a wood post fence without concrete cause I planned to move the fence in a couple of years. Sure enough the post weren't reusable after only two years because of water rot in the clay soil. I put in all other post later in concrete and was even too lazy to put gravel in the bottom of the hole just dry set the post and put a little water on top and waited for the next day to nail the boards on. I wound up pulling a post several years later to add a gate and when I pulled the post and busted the concrete off, I was surprised to see that the post below ground in the concrete was in better shape than the post above ground. I figure the concrete just does a great job of sealing the post when dry tamped in and letting the concrete absorb the moisture from the ground. This is the only way I have done it over the years (50) I'm 70. with nothing but success. My polebarn was done your way, by myself, 40 years ago and it is still solid and firmly in the ground.

[@PineyGroveHomestead]

I expect the same will be true with this building. Thanks for watching!

[@georgewest2096]

Good plan there. The posts I put in in 1950 are starting to rot off already. I think you will start to see some rot by 2124. Of course it is windier, average cold is 5 below and 45 to 50 inches of rain on loamy soil.

[@PineyGroveHomestead]

I have a feeling I won't care by then!!

[@wethepeople_usa]

Well im inspired to start making kits. In Oklahoma we build alot of these.

[@PineyGroveHomestead]

It's hard to get everything correct when in front of the camera!

[@Kermitsmart]

@PineyGroveHomestead you guys are doing great! Keep it up. I went through the same thing with the Planning Department so I feel your pain. We're in a rural county too (nearby) that writes everything geared for the beaches and the nonsense carries to the north end acreage.

[@user-fv8zz3qc4b]

I live in the panhandle of Florida also. I just want to know if these companies can put in cement footers and then put the supports above ground level instead of burying the posts?

[@PineyGroveHomestead]

Call up Backwoods on the number on the screen and see what they can do.

[@user-wf8nv2ok3s]

I live in a low pitch double wide, and it leaked around the screws in the valley within the first 3-years.So we put the screws in the ridge on the second roof replacement ouch , and 5- years later it hasn’t leaked yet.

[@PineyGroveHomestead]

Sounds like a good fix for you!

[@carmenmariacortesmarin2664]

I'm glad to see you used the same company for the barn. They're good. Are you going to anchor this barn the same way you did the other one?

[@PineyGroveHomestead]

Good memory! This one is not as tall as the other one so we are not as fearful that it will catch too much wind and lift up!

[@bruceford8710]

I like Miss Piney Grove's T-shirt, we all need to be doing that fervently these days! I don't know what the grading rules are down in Florida but in the PNW West Coast lumber bureau rules state whatever dimension is called for (like for your purlins) usually #2 and better grade. A select structural grade, stamped SEL STR or SELECT, 2x6 will have the same structural strength as a #2,2X10. so if all of your purlins were 2x6 SEL STR it would have the same strength as if they were #2 2x10's. easier to handle and less $

[@PineyGroveHomestead]

I think ours are #2 yellow pine. Here's the next step - framing! : kzbin.info/www/bejne/sIjKn4d8hsqcras

I had a pole barn with poles in the ground that is still standing after being built in 1972 in Minnesota.

[@dale1088]

You should put a cement floor in

[@PineyGroveHomestead]

Would love that but pricey!

[@user-mm6xi3er5u]

Built a 24x30 alone, zero help. Dug holes with my backhoe. Used Diamond back metal trusses. Looks like the same ones you used. Poured footers first, then set poles. Backfilled holes. Used rebar pins at slab to tie in poles to concrete slab. Framed exterior walls with 2x4s and sheathed with osb. Roof sheathed with osb also, no metal roof condensation.

[@PineyGroveHomestead]

Awesome! We did some ourselves in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/sIjKn4d8hsqcras

[@Ramdodge582]

the post's will roat though the time frame is more like 60 years in well draining soil. brackets don't add but maybe 1k to the cost

[@PineyGroveHomestead]

That would make us almost 120 years old!! But yes, there are many ways to build them so they last forever...at least the posts.

[@nwflboy007powell8]

As far as the screw pattern it depends on the type and grade of tin.

[@stevestock2439]

Im at 4 minutes 29 seconds and I heard your wife say the pole barn aint big enough. Hold everything, great stopping point to plan a bigger Barn. Does your wife have an unmarried sister? Up until now, I've yet to hear a mans wife say build it bigger, you know they are always right, as it proves out again here.

[@PineyGroveHomestead]

She's been saying that from the beginning in every video since we cut down the trees!! We've got 2 other buildings...this is just for implements. Thanks for watching.

[@NelsonJ1]

Same way the posts are done in West Tennessee. The soil is sandy and doesn't hold water. Now in parts pf middle Tennessee if you did a hole it will be full of standing water in an hour because of the clay content and water table, so placing the post in the ground would lead to rot in that area. The building methods are definitely area specific.

[@PineyGroveHomestead]

It should last the rest of my time on earth!

[@65johu]

I agree with the Mrs. 24 × 36 would've been nicer.

[@travismanley4448]

Screws go in the flat certified metal roofer by VP building system,

[@PineyGroveHomestead]

Agree!

[@joedoakes8307]

Did they forget to soak the "in ground" portion of the 6x6 posts in diesel\oil mix to prevent the posts from rotting away ?

[@PineyGroveHomestead]

It will last our lifetime or more as it is but there are ways to protect it so it lasts longer.

[@Sailor376also]

For your crew. Rod pack the dry mix. Place the post exactly where you want it. Hold it plumb either with a man or a couple of very temporary braces. Pour the dry mix in to above level. Take a piece of no 4 or no 5 rerod 4 or 5 feet long. Larger does not work. Slide that rod all the way to the bottom and slide it to the bottom with repeated motions all the way around,, then go around again,, the rod will not penetrate to the bottom on he second time around,, do it a third or fourth time each pass the rod will penetrate less and less until two things,, One the powder will have settled in the hole,, add another bag or half bag. Second the rod will not penetrate more than an inch or two. Once packed all the way to the top, strip off your temp braces or move your pole man to the next one. The pole will stay there,, you can build your fence or wall immediately. Add water if you like,, but the mix is a moisture sponge it will suck every drop it needs from the surrounding soils. Faster. Stronger. Better.

[@meghan7547]

Why not just pour piers and anchor posts to the piers, easy replacement of a post should it be needed and no wood to even think about in contact with soil.

[@Sailor376also]

@@meghan7547 That is a very valid idea.

[@meghan7547]

@@Sailor376also That is how we built ours, the top of the piers were all leveled with the pour, so all the posts could be cut, assembled and lifted onto them as whole units.

I don't know the answer, but if the ground is so wet or doesn't drain, what good does a couple of inches of gravel do in the bottom....the water still doesn't have anywhere to go below that???

[@Sailor376also]

"When I pulled it out of the ground, it was no rot.." Pressure treated lumber has been changed. The EPA outlawed the normal copper arsenic mixtures about 20 years ago. I do not know for better or worse. Pull a 12 year old post,, compare it to the twenty year old post. Some of the 10 or 12 year old stock is junk.
