I just saw "Lifting Entire Truss Bays EASILY With Chain Hoists (My New Prototype)! | DIY Barndominium Ep.12" - Hart and Home. His trusses seemed to be on the lighter weight variety. I don't know what specs would be needed for a chain hoist for various beam/truss construction. He seemed to join two trusses so he could lift them square and keep them braced once in position. I'm new to this. I just know that getting a heavy machine in certain areas isn't always practical or economical.
I love the roof lines here. So many monitor barns I think are spoiled by the roof pitch differences or not. Is there a rule you go by? It looks like the lean too's are 4/12 whereas the center structure is between 6 and 8/12.
Yep, been doing this since 2008, there have been hundreds of barns built just this way since then. Most with RSS screws, but some have opted to use steel plates at that joint as well.
Looking at your post installation, how much frost heave do you get in the location you are building and would you recommend this type of post installation in a location that can drop to -30 F? I will be building a barn in the coming year and we have a wide variance of temperature shifts. If you don't recommend this method, what would you recommend?
Sorry, I butchered part of my post. If decking the hayloft, consider using hangers to hang floor joists between the tie beams, then nail 1" oak or 1.5" pine to the joists. Paint the hangers black so they look like your post/beam steel tee brackets. Only the purist post/beam guys will notice, and you can never satisfy the purists anyway. Sorry!
Amazing video!! Thank you for making such great content
Thank You!
I would like to see a video just like this on making this a house.

This is an awesome and very understandable video for understanding sequence!
With this type of construction, how wide of an open span can be built?
No birds mouth? To tie in rafter and post ? Just screws on the angle ?

about how much would a barn like this cost to make? average...clearly it will vary my region. Thanks a ton and this is so helpful!

Excellent and thank you.
Where is the best place to buy a kit?
Since you didn't mention it in the video (or I missed it) what size posts did you use? 8x8s? 10x10s?
Thank you
Hello, I would like to build a US barn in France and I would need to know How can I contact you? thank you

Can u make same design at size of 25 x 60.....please explain ìt with size of material and distane of each...
Super!
What program are you using?
Sketchup....there is a plug in, that will make the software stronger in timber frame, and trusses....like "Medeek"
Hi, I'm from Argentina, what program do you use to deceive?
I use sketchup to draw.... But I don't deceive, maybe that was mistranslated?
Thank you. I follow your videos are great
BarnGeek , Ive been tinkering with sketch up. Great video.
@@BarnGeek i think the Argentinian dude mean "design"....pretty close to draw ...lol
Great if you live in an area where you dont need to work with isolation

This guy's accent sounds exactly like Nick Offerman's.
good information but man it's painful trying to listen to you speed it up figure out what you're going to say before you say it
You can adjust play back speed (1.25, 1.5, etc.) by clicking the gear icon ("settings") at the lower right side of the video.
