Steel Siding on the Timber Frame

The siding has begun on the timber frame barn. The steel skirting around the building up to 4' will eventually rust and look amazing!

I do believe that building will be there after we are all dead and gone. Looks really nice, Tim!

I saw a volkswagen beetle at a car show once. The paint was rusted through in spots, on the fender, hood, and trunk areas. The owner had done a gentle wet sand to it and clear coated the car a couple of times. It locked in the rust. The patterns where color met rust was forever preserved and looked so cool.....I cant wait for your building to be the same. -Will

[@GreatPlainsCraftsman]

Thank you Will, it does look cool

Thank you William, hello!

[@mattbowers5342]

Looking forward to what that siding ages into. The copper layer, what an ingenious idea for the longevity!

[@GreatPlainsCraftsman]

Thanks Matt, it is pretty neat to see if you like the old rusted look.

Forgot about the grass fires. They can flare up pretty fast. And it’s always windy. Grew up in NE Montana. 👍

[@GreatPlainsCraftsman]

Yes than you know! They can destroy a building quickly

[@deanmacka4975]

It's coming along great mate. Looks like you guys are in for a dry summer. I think we are in for a cold winter or I just might be getting old and tired lol. Great video mate

[@GreatPlainsCraftsman]

Thank you Dean, we had a cold one this year

[@aaronstroud5278]

Looking good Tim. Thanks for including the temperature in the video. I was wondering how much it'd warmed up for you.

[@GreatPlainsCraftsman]

Thanks Aaron, it was a nice day.

[@TheKajunkat]

The copper is actually mixed in with the steel at less than a half a percent. It helps the oxide layer (rust) form a very tight adherent layer that impedes further oxygen from reaching the underlying steel. It is typically known as "weathering steel" the most common brand name is Cor-10. The Hale-Boggs Mississippi river bridge inf Hahnville Louisiana is constructed of it. Their biggest issues with it are the pigeons that roost in it and crap all over the inside. The feces has a lot of ammonia and it corrodes the dickens out of it. You need to be mindful of that with your siding. Be careful with things like chlorine or ammonia based cleaners(things like clorox) and animal urine. They can do a number on those steels.

[@timberdoodles4647]

Interesting siding choice. I like it. I'm going to check if it something that it handled locally. I use story sticks whenever possible, We are stuck in a cold pattern and still have snow on the ground, its going to go away soon, I just have a feeling that it will.

[@GreatPlainsCraftsman]

Thank you. It is pretty neat when it rusts. Looks 100 years old. Hope spring comes for you soon. We have more snow in store for sure

[@timberdoodles4647]

@@GreatPlainsCraftsman A little stored under your metal, just a blob after you picked up the package.

[@GreatPlainsCraftsman]

@@timberdoodles4647 I saw that!

[@MrGeroth]

Nice 👍

[@GreatPlainsCraftsman]

Thank you Gerald!

[@pekesrepose7363]

even if your planning to put a wood stove in there id think about adding some rock wool to the inside of the tin and then whatever finishing wall to go around the interior of the barn. I see so many barns turn into workshops that are pretty miserable to work in the winter. cold metal repairs ect...

[@GreatPlainsCraftsman]

Thank you, I might just do that!

[@pekesrepose7363]

Great Plains Craftsman I'm 45 with bad back and hands. body of a 70 year old honestly. I admire the works of others when done the right way like you do. sturdy and precise. looks aren't everything but wood beams and speak volumes to me. Pride is humbling. bless you and your family. they're lucky to have a strong person in their life who can show that with a little vision, lots of will and some patience many things can be done with one's life.

[@GreatPlainsCraftsman]

@@pekesrepose7363 Thank you so much for the kind words. This project has been a test of perseverance for sure

[@pekesrepose7363]

Great Plains Craftsman credit where do my friend. your very welcome. having the time after working a whole life is a blessing in this country. many never achieve it. hang in there and take it as it comes and you'll be enjoying your new barn in no time. I feel lucky to watch it being built.

[@JoseOrtiz-im5wu]

Awesome

[@GreatPlainsCraftsman]

Thank you Jose

[@cmadk3423]

Nice job. I did something similar on my shed the lower three foot metal the top five foot board and bat. What are you planning for the top half?

[@GreatPlainsCraftsman]

Board and Batten as well! Thanks for watching!

[@BlueGamerDude]

wow the snow is gone! we still have 2 feets

[@GreatPlainsCraftsman]

Whoa!

[@bobdinovo6889]

I like it alot. What is the dimensions of this timber frame. Length, width and hight please?

[@GreatPlainsCraftsman]

16x20x12

[@bricyclezenrun1044]

I was wondering while you are using metal for the siding versus wood?

[@bricyclezenrun1044]

That is why?

[@bricyclezenrun1044]

Okay I understand now why, for fire protection! Thanks!

[@GreatPlainsCraftsman]

It is for some protection from grass fires, and for aesthetics. Steel/wood combination. Thank you for watching!

[@charlesgrant6985]

You need to check out “R&R buildings” on KZbin this guy builds amazing buildings and has really cool Metal trim installation techniques. Your barn will look awesome with the tin on the bottom and wood on the top. thanks for all the great KZbin content , oh yeah one more thing have you considered building lean two’s on either side of your barn ?

[@GreatPlainsCraftsman]

Thank you Charles I will check it out. I have thought about it, maybe on the east side of the building.

[@Z-Bart]

7:10 I was just going to ask if you were bleeding yet! (Red chalk) All I have to do is look at tin and I'm bleeding!

[@GreatPlainsCraftsman]

Ha Ha thanks Ray.

the moment it all made sense to me 17:40

[@GreatPlainsCraftsman]

Great! There is a method to my madness

[@pekesrepose7363]

Great Plains Craftsman it's going to look great and inspire many others to come. thanks greatly for sharing 👍🏼

[@JoshuaMichail0]

You know, I kept thinking "why steel?" and then you said wildfires and all of a sudden I thought that makes sense.

[@GreatPlainsCraftsman]

Yes. Also Hail. This heavy gauge will not dent from hail.

I loved your channel until I seen you in this video with that peterbilt hat on... so disappointing when everyone knows that kenworths were built to keep all the bums out of the best made trucks and get them into those peterbilts.. lol.. looks like you are having good weather.. here in Illinois just south of moline its been upper 40s and 50s been cleaning up grandma and grandpa's yard who live next door to me and my family and been working on our yard today. That building is looking awesome

[@GreatPlainsCraftsman]

Thank you Ben! Pete's are awesome! KW's are as well, drove one for 5 years hauling concrete.
