Building a 20x40 Pole Barn with Lean-Tos: Full Project

Join us on an unforgettable journey as we dive into the world of off-grid living with our self-built pole barn with lean- tos . From laying the first foundation to putting on the final touches, this video chronicles every step of our adventure - and the best part? We had absolutely no prior experience. Watch as we tackle challenges head-on, learn new skills, and ultimately create a sanctuary that's entirely off the grid. Whether you're a seasoned builder or a complete novice, our story proves that with determination and a little DIY spirit, anything is possible. Get ready to be inspired to embark on your own off-grid journey as we share our trials, triumphs, and the satisfaction of building something truly extraordinary from the ground up

[@OffgridwithJayandJen]

We snuck that build in just before the snow.....although I was hoping to get sides on it too, lol

[@IdahoEagle77]

Jay has some skills! That is bigger than the tiny house we are building. We could live in that! Nice work!

[@DaveS-gf4ik]

i really love your videos you're really honest about thing and like that find old stuff and use it a second life thank you for all the videos dave from ct

[@OffgridwithJayandJen]

Thanks for watching and the kind words we appreciate it!

[@cue881-yo7kz]

You two should be very proud of yourselves for what you have accomplished. I think everyone has the pioneer spirit in them but you two get to act it out. Unlimited what you can build up there since you have all the lumber you need right on site! I'm a solar guy, get more solar. As long as you can keep getting these power stations for free, get all you can! You can never have too much! I'll know you have enough when I see you installing an electric heater in the outhouse! Love you guys, stay safe. God Bless!

[@OffgridwithJayandJen]

Thanks for the kind words :D lol on the power stations 🤣🤣🤣. Could you imagine a nice heated outhouse in the winter 🤣🤣🤣 be so nice and cozy!

[@cue881-yo7kz]

@@OffgridwithJayandJen with enough solar, you can create miracles!

[@davidvansickle563]

Jay, after watching you lift those posts into ground holes I was impressed with your strength ( remind me to never piss you off) 😂😂. How did you figure out how big you wanted your barn to be? Seems like your dimensions were perfect cause the barn came out great 👍

[@OffgridwithJayandJen]

Hey, thanks buddy. I wanted the boards and beams to be manageable by hand. If I went too much bigger things may have gotten too heavy for that, LOL

[@denislosieroutdoors]

Great video there eh! Thanks for sharing

[@OffgridwithJayandJen]

Thanks for watching

[@phuongvo3051]

If you put more cement concrete it’ll last for a long time

[@tcm-north]

So Awesome! Were you able to mill a lot of the wood yourselves from trees on your own property?

[@OffgridwithJayandJen]

A lot of the beams yes.....we did buy some rafter boards to speed along the process.

[@peggyowen3386]

That’s so cool ❤

[@OffgridwithJayandJen]

😊 glad you like it Peggy

[@marydingus4360]

Amazing skills! Isn't this an old video?

[@OffgridwithJayandJen]

This is a new video composed of all our barn build videos ! Rather than 15-20 barn videos it's all in our quick video!

[@canajian]

🖐😎👍

[@monstirz]

I liked the lean 2 idea. Would lean 3 be good for firewood?

[@OffgridwithJayandJen]

Ha......YES. Amazing how space fills up, So MORE LEAN THREES, lol

[@johnguarino1273]

No new content I guess!!!!

[@OffgridwithJayandJen]

Coming soon. Everyone does timelapses. Guess they're not for everyone. Sorry this isn't your cup of tea. Hope your day gets better! Have a great holiday weekend! :D

[@mikemckinley1031]

I already seen this barn built sorry jay and Jen maybe it’s for your new subscribers

[@OffgridwithJayandJen]

These videos help channels grow buddy.....timelapses are for everyone

[@mikemckinley1031]

No more I am not putting anymore of your videos on Facebook publicly

[@OffgridwithJayandJen]

@mikemckinley1031 don't know why you feel that way. Most people like a timelapse to see everything done at once rather than over several videos. Sorry timelapses aren't you cup of tea.

[@mikemckinley1031]

@@OffgridwithJayandJen I am not a subscriber anymore bye bye

[@OffgridwithJayandJen]

@mikemckinley1031 sorry to see you go. Sorry timelapses aren't for you. Sorry you feel the need to unsubsribe over a timelapse.

[@davidpatrick1813]

I actually thought you were building something new and then ...

[@OffgridwithJayandJen]

We have a new build coming soon! Been working on getting the area set up the last week! :D
