I'm attempting to build a fully enclosed 40'x48' pole barn by myself. After watching these guys put this one up and how well it looks, I am rethinking hiring mine done.
Danny I built everything myself for the most part on my farm, if you have been watching my channel then you already knew that. However when it came to this pole barn and my horse barn, I let them do it. Love the results! I built out my barn but they did the initial enclosure. Thx for watching and good luck with your endeavors! Dave
I built the same building by myself. I dug the holes with my Kabota tractor with a drill auger rented the dock left to lift. The beams in the place took me 10 days to do it working half days one person can do it if you take the time to plan it out
We have a 100x50 foot pole barn on our property.. But it was once actually a forestry service building in the 40s.. the owner of this land bought it in the 60s took it apart and moved it to this land and rebuilt it himself.. Interestingly enough. the 8x8 posts are not in the ground. They sit on top of 2x10s on top of concrete blocks in the ground. Not even anchored mind you which is ODD.. but its held through how many hurricanes and wind for 60+ years. The beams in the barn are all 4x6 or 6x6 for the roof.. yes 4x6 and 6x6 for the roof beams lol.. Its interesting how it was built. the 50 foot span uses a 4x6 50 foot beam, which you THINK would sag big time... but.. it has 2x10s bolted to the center of the beam and then a giant metal bar bolted through that going to the roof beams that are in a 3 dimentional triangle formation basically all line up like this /\ with that metal bar in the center of them.. So in essence the roof supports its own weight.. its a very ingenious design actually The more weight you put on it, the stronger it gets The prior owner who rebuilt this in the 60s did an amazing job, he built 6 horse stalls, with a slab on 1/4 of the barn, the middle 1/2 is three double doors, for storage for cars or farm equipment. Dirt floor though, and the last 1/4 section is a single double door, with a 4 inch slab 10 120v outlets, and a 50A and 25A 240v outlets. Also is insulated "as best as youd do for 1960 with foam and tar mats behind the dry wall. It also has water in the stalls and the workshop coming directly from the house itself 300 feet away..... I also have a drain in the floor on both slabs, and a 15 foot work bench made out of 4x6 oak posts i assume were scrap. I also have a cinterblock lined with tile chimney for a wood stove in the shop. The shop also has 6 huge windows that flip up for ventilation if i want So the building itself is 80 years old, or 60 if you count the rebuild. The tin roof leaks a little in spots, and needs some new sealent put on top. its leaking through the nails in the 2x4s and rotting them slowely. Im very grateful for that man for building such an amazing, still standing, barn, with evgerything one would want... Water, power, slabs with drains, and yea.. most guys with workshops i noticed dont have water, and dont have 240v power either. And lack of windows in many modern shops/barns is depressing. The man is now buried at the cemetary next to this property. Its interesting looking at how modern pole barns are built versus mine... Mine uses gigantic solid oak beams even the 2x4s are oak.. ALL the wood is real sized.. 2x4 is a 2x4.. a 6x6 or 8x8 or 4x6 is true to size.. Versus the modern cheap barns using pine for everything "no offense im talking about really big barns" im just noticing how pole barns today are built like houses.. using tons of 2x4 pine boards nailed together like a spider web. Just shows you how well things were built 80 years ago versus today. Although im not sure yours id call a pole barn... it looks like a horse walk in to me or a little car port tbh... we have one the same size and its just used for the horses to walk in for shelter.. Do you plan to put walls on this or leave it open ?
They sure built everything in yesteryear to last. That sounds like an incredible building. I just left Ohio after visiting the Amish and they still seem to be building barns to last decades and multi generations. It’s really sad how quality has diminished and really seems hard to find someone to stand behind their work much after a month or so. This will remain open and houses my horse trailer, tractor and round bales. Thx for sharing! Dave
That’s a good question that I don’t know the answer to. I had this built at the height of the pandemic. You could call Armour Metals in Augusta Georgia to get an accurate price. Hope that helps and thank you for watching!
No it’s not, the reason is it was either parallel with the fence or square with my shop. I chose the shop bc the fence can always be moved. It’s off by about a foot on the fence but it’s no big deal now that it’s all up. Thx for watching! Dave
@@bogdanmilea6883 I’m sorry I don’t but you can contact Armour Metal in Augusta Ga after hurricane clean up and they can get for you. They are the manufacturer. Thx for watching, Dave
I’ve heard so many different things it’s hard to know what’s correct. This is the way they recommended so I didn’t argue, I have others set in gravel and others just driven in. I honestly don’t know what’s best and if you talk to 5 folks you will get 5 different answers. Thx for watching!
If I tried to build that exact building in the exact same way they did in Florida, then I would have 30,000 in OSHA fines. Sad white males are getting driven out

This was an excellent video.
Thanks for posting.
Thank you Bill I appreciate it and thx for watching! Dave
Great video! Just the right length and excellent camera work!
Thank you for the kind words Jason and I appreciate you watching! Dave
Good honest crew
What a crew, Didn’t waste any time. Looks Fantastic ‼️‼️. Vinny 🇺🇸
Australian builders would take a week LOL
This is great. I’m gonna try to do this with just one or two people.

How heavy was the metal trusses roughly you think?

Looks great but question is roughly what was cost because I really would love to get something like this built.
Thx Brian I appreciate it! It was right at $10K and is 30x36. Thx for watching! Dave
beautiful good work 👏 🙌
Can someone tell me where I can get trusses like that I live in Michigan. Thank you
That looks really nice 👍🏻. I want one.. just can't do it at the moment.
Thx Eric, you will get one when it’s time!
Where did you buy your truss from
Armour Metals
What will cost now as the economy is in recession 30 x 36 ?
That’s a good question that I don’t know the answer to. I had this built at the height of the pandemic. You could call Armour Metals in Augusta Georgia to get an accurate price. Hope that helps and thank you for watching!
Did they build it perfectly parallel to the fence???
No it’s not, the reason is it was either parallel with the fence or square with my shop. I chose the shop bc the fence can always be moved. It’s off by about a foot on the fence but it’s no big deal now that it’s all up. Thx for watching! Dave
Hello. You know dimensions of truses?
@@bogdanmilea6883 I’m sorry I don’t but you can contact Armour Metal in Augusta Ga after hurricane clean up and they can get for you. They are the manufacturer. Thx for watching, Dave
Who did you buy your kit from?
Armour Metal
Great building. Do you know where they purchased the metal trusses?
@@HopiLivingintheCity they make them in house. Armour metals Augusta Georgia. Thx for watching!
How much did this cost? Price including labor?
That one was just over $10k complete. 30x36, Armour Metals Augusta Georgia.
Thx for watching!
what is the pick ?
12:4
I didnt think it was a good idea to set the 6x6s in concrete. I thought the lime in concrete attacked the pressure treated posts.
I’ve heard so many different things it’s hard to know what’s correct. This is the way they recommended so I didn’t argue, I have others set in gravel and others just driven in. I honestly don’t know what’s best and if you talk to 5 folks you will get 5 different answers. Thx for watching!
100 percent

No wind bracing and no snow load? Soon your poles will be rotted off like mine.
Pole barn my ass not one pole was used plenty of posts but not one pole.
