I posted a message on here a week ago about pole sheds, steel vs. wood and so on.
Here are more questions.
1. I am thinking about a pole barn cause I wont have to put in a concrete foundation.
2. For those of you that have pole barns what type of floor do you have, Gravel, dirt/sand, concrete.
3. How far down does your bottom board go into the dirt? Do you use a 2x6 treated board? Should I put down a heavy visqueen vapor barrier before I put down limestone gravel for a foundation to keep moisture out?
4. How difficult is it to have all the poles line up properly and not be crooked, before you nail the siding on. I have never built a pole shed structure, but I have built 2x4 stick built frames which are easier to set up on a concrete pad.
5. If you dont have a concrete floor but have a gravel floor then how difficult or common is it to have rodents dig underneath to get into shed?
Post a picture if you can, I would like to put up a steel sided structure with steel roof.
I am thinking about a 400 square foot size, maybe 18X24 or so to store all the garden tools, lawnmower, tractor implements, paint etc.
