Pole Barn Construction and Instruction: Metal Roofing, Walls, And Trim

[@mackdenn]

Wow, I can't believe the progress they made in a day. It's really looking good and yours is giving me the itch to build one too. Thanks for sharing.

[@tomsmith3047]

I know how much I love my pole barn, I'm happy you're finally getting yours. Great videos. Thanks for sharing.

[@darinbarfield8738]

You can tell these young men know what they are doing & have the construction process down to a science, hence the reason they move so quickly along.

[@Joe-oi6eh]

🤣

[@edamick7479]

I've been subscribed to your channel for awhile now and I'm glad you're getting it built. Thank you for the updates.

[@scottleighton3120]

Looks great, You must be excited. Thanks for sharing!

[@Bob-vb8lc]

The barn is definitely coming along very quickly. They look like an awesome team. It has been a long road to this point, but I am happy for you to see the actual project going up in a day(ish).

[@ataleofthreecabins1025]

Thanks!

[@watkinstreefarm6880]

Very efficient. They do great work!! Looks Great!!

[@bobsondugnutt7526]

Great production value, felt like I was watching a documentary :)

[@Newbgainer]

Nice building! I'm in the works of getting mine ordered, hope I get a great crew like those gentlemen. They made it look so simple.

[@ataleofthreecabins1025]

Good luck!

[@BG-vq9fd]

Close to the finish line. I took a lot of pictures of mine but I'm really impressed with your video record.

[@wlsteffen]

Looking great!

[@musicbme]

It is really looking good Tom!

[@ataleofthreecabins1025]

Thanks!

[@lorenmeyer5290]

AWESOME barn! Go up fast!

[@jimbennett1519]

You can sure tell this isn’t their first rodeo lol You made a good choice getting them to construct your building. Very nice

[@ataleofthreecabins1025]

Thanks!

[@rickvaughan8993]

Very impressed with the quality of your building! Looks great! I have a 36x36 that is nowhere near that quality!

[@fundsfordad]

Very nice 👍

[@OrangeismyNewGreen]

Wow 10 months of waiting and one the barn is up…amazing 👍🏻

[@ataleofthreecabins1025]

I know!!

[@deanbarr5740]

Wow, very nice. I really like your building. I've always had garage type doors too. The last door i installed was on the front of my garage its 16x8' tall. A very big mistake on my part. In the winter months mostly, as my garage is heated when opening the door you loose a lot of heat. Then, it takes a while to warm up inside. Looking forward to your sliding type doors. Great idea when you think about it.You only need to open up as much as needed. Gonna be great when you get this finished.

[@mavcar38]

Glad you could get a crew to do this. Cant find any contractor in Eastern NC to call me back

[@bobjohnson8624]

My sliding doors invited birds. First the summer swallows and then a larger winter bird. After many hours spent up and down ladders I finally got enough bird block, screen mesh, and netting to deter them.

[@DaveyGeez]

If corrugated metal sheets are run horizontally, they would provide shear strength without the need for girts...right?

[@karlpanko6347]

Can you share what the final cost of the building

[@scottb6098]

Wondering why no corner bracing ?

[@billvandenouden7302]

I wish I can get these guys to do mine

[@jimscancella1127]

I have to ask and this may be a dumb question but at the beginning, you said you poured 80 pounds of dry concrete in the holes and then filled in with dirt. Can you elaborate? I have not used the dry concrete before and was wondering when you poured in the water. Was it concrete, then water, then dirt? Sorry for such a dumb question.

[@ataleofthreecabins1025]

It was concrete. In my area the ground is wet enough to not need water as the concrete will suck it out of the ground. The pills were placed first, then post, concrete, and filled.

[@jimscancella1127]

@@ataleofthreecabins1025 So you are saying that you did not use the 'dry concrete mix' that I have been seeing on projects and just regular concrete that one would normally add water to? Wow. Very cool. I'm in Hawaii and would think, at least where I live that there is plenty of moisture in the ground as well. I like the 'pill' idea, I have not seen those around here. Mahalo for getting back to me so soon.

[@flameaxe1012]

Looks good, question... Without a moisture barrier between the bare wood and sheetmetal how do you stop the wood rott, when the sheets condensate? Just curious

[@ataleofthreecabins1025]

Roof has a moisture barrier. I have not seen condensation on the sidewall yet. I assume since it's not insulated the temperature is the same inside and out not. Now my insulated garage could be 38 degrees inside and if we get a warm spell and I open the garage door, everything is covered in condensation.

[@bigal25938]

You put underlayment under tin on an open roof? Why?

[@ataleofthreecabins1025]

It cuts down on condensation especially in the winter on cold days and the sun hitting the roof.

[@tch632]

Permits? We don't need no stinking permits...😅

[@gary24752]

Did this have to be stamped?

[@EricCampbellUAV]

drill seam screws through the whole stack so its a half inch off by the time you get to the last sheet

[@cliffhaskett7703]

Why would it be a 1/2" off ?

[@alittleofthisandalittleofthat]

I put steel on my new lean to roof last summer and the place I bought it from says roof metal screws go on the ribs. Walls off the ribs. And looking around my area 90% are like that. I notice they did your roof different.

[@ataleofthreecabins1025]

Most U.S. metal roofing manufacturers say that you should put screws into the flat, because this location offers a solid wood surface just beneath the metal panel, resulting in a safer, tighter, more secure seal. That's how my house roof is also. Take Care, Tom

[@alittleofthisandalittleofthat]

@@ataleofthreecabins1025 I agree with you. Putting them on the rib causes the rip to squish and take it out of square.

[@EricCampbellUAV]

they don’t even use scaffold to sheet. it should take these guys only half a day

[@EricCampbellUAV]

scaffold? they dont even have a ladder

[@mikemcallister1637]

what was the cost of materials? What was the cost of labor when you did this ?

[@ataleofthreecabins1025]

Barn Material was around $13,000 labor $4,000, concrete $5,000/

[@EricCampbellUAV]

i doubt they splice trusses dead center like that

[@cpm324]

Wow what did you pay for that? Almost a building in a day!

[@ataleofthreecabins1025]

Around $17,000. Lumber prices are starting to fall so it could come down a $1,000 or more.

[@ziggyray1970]

What pitch is the roof and how deep did u dig holes

[@ataleofthreecabins1025]

4/12 roof. Holes were just shy of 4'.

[@MrMarlon68]

Where are you located and name of contractors

[@ataleofthreecabins1025]

Northern Ohio, Erb’s Construction.

[@EricCampbellUAV]

you don’t predrill the sheets with that big of diameter

[@slhram99]

What state are you guys at?

[@ataleofthreecabins1025]

Ohio

[@thomasj9513]

amazing build but where is the PPE? i've worked with propaneling and sheet metal and lost fingers because of it. should've had those boys wearing gloves, eye protection, and head protection at very least. nevermind the tshirts and shorts. shame on you for risking these boys livelihoods for cheap labor. OSHA would have heyday with this build.

[@scottb6098]

Sounds like they are more careful than you...

[@cliffhaskett7703]

There's 1 in every crowd.
