I have a pole barn that was built in the late 60’s. They used telephone poles. The pole are rotting right at the surface. Any thoughts on the most cost effective way to fix this? I’d prefer to sister something in so I don’t have to disassemble the connection into the top plate. The building is roughly 60x20 and is a 5 car garage. I appreciate any suggestions you can pass along. Thank you
The old telephone poles is where "pole barns" got their name, but rotting is an issue with those. Fixing those is never easy, but you may be able to sister a support 3 ply laminated post in next to the rotting ones and attach with structural lags to support that all the way to the header. The digging won't be easy, but you can pour concrete around the base and tie the base together as well for a stronger connection. You could also pour new piers and use Perma-Column Dry-set brackets to place new posts.
