Timber Frame Barn Build: Barn Raising Days 3-4

[@cherylstark99]

Very nice, but I would call this a hybrid. Post and beam and timber frame mix. Not trying to be a jerk but traditional timber frame does not use metal plates.

[@skyking4501]

For s guy not trying, you did a pretty good job of being a jerk.

[@cherylstark99]

@Sky King so sorry to point out a fact. I did compliment. So many people can't take a bit of criticism by pointing out facts to differentiate between the 2. Most people don't know the technical difference. Don't be such a Sally.

Wow! This is an impressive project! I love it.

[@paulb4400]

Looks like a Barn Geek plan? Looking good.

[@peteandrepeatoutdoors7220]

Thanks for watching @paulb4400. Yes, it is a Barn Geek plan with a few adjustments.

What is the length and width of that barn? I love that style of barn.

[@peteandrepeatoutdoors7220]

The barn is 40ft wide by 60ft long

[@joeycharland]

Looks great! I am planning on building this same barn in the spring. Are you happy with the plans from Barn Geek?

[@peteandrepeatoutdoors7220]

Hi @joeycharland, Yes for the most part they are good plans. If you email me your contact info I’d be willing to talk about the build with you.

[@pacodefrancis7235]

Looks tall! What are the dimension, height and clear span of the middle?

[@peteandrepeatoutdoors7220]

Hi @pacodefrancis7235 thank you for watching. The barn is 40ft by 60ft. The middle is 20ft clear span. Thanks again

[@peteandrepeatoutdoors7220]

Also the height is a little over 26 feet tall

CAN YOU SHARE STRUCTURAL DRAWINGS OF THIS BARN? WHATS THE SIZES OF POSTS AND BEAMS

[@peteandrepeatoutdoors7220]

Thank you for watching, most of the beams are 6”x6” and 6”x8”. Anything specific you are looking for in the drawings? There are quite a few pages

[@turdferguson12]

What is the pitch of the main roof and the shed roofs? Looks like about 10/12 and 3/12.

[@peteandrepeatoutdoors7220]

Yes you are correct. Main roof is 10/12 and shed roof is about 3/12.

[@atubeviewer4942]

How wide and deep is that center section? How wide are the 2 side sections?

[@peteandrepeatoutdoors7220]

Center is 20’x60’ Sides are 10’x60’

[@turdferguson12]

How far apart are your bents? Are those 2x6 purlins?

[@turdferguson12]

We are getting ready to start on ours as soon as the grading is done😊

[@peteandrepeatoutdoors7220]

The bents are 10’ apart. Yes the purlins are 2x6 and the girts are 3x6.
