Like the prefabbed 6"X6"s that are 3 pieces of 2 X 6 laminated together,with the bottom pieces pressure treated to above grade.I know they are glued/screwed together under pressure.Can't find them local.Wonder if I can just make them up myself,just nailing them together.Plus,I have lots of solid used stuff around,and I'm CHEAP!Anybody done this?Thanks,Dave

I am building a pole barn type building right now. I used 3 2x6s with half inch plywood inbetween the 2x6s. I had to have 18 footers and also could not find them local. Check this web. page out. www.socketsystems.com

Sure you can and it will surprise you how short your pieces have to be. This is what I would suggest. First detemine what your headers will be made of. Probably either 2-2x o 3 2x. Say your are going to use 2-2x for headers then you would want the center 2x6 of the post to reach to the bottom of the header. The outside 2x6 would first be the treated up to the bottom of the lowest cross nailer the add your cross nailer then fill in with untreated 2x6 up to the next nailer and so on untill you are even with the bottom of the header. This way all your cross nailers and post are flush on the outside. Now place your 2-2x headers on top of these 2x6 members of your post and bring the inside member of your post up to the top of the header and nail in the header.If using 3 2x for headers allow the center member of the post extend to the top of the header with the 2 outside members nailed to it and the center header member butted to it.Considering good tight joints and plenty of 16D nails this produces a very rigid frame

Buck,
I am going to build a storage barn this summer, and it seems like your ideas fit right in to what I am going to do. Would you mind sending me your email address so I could ask some questions along the way. Thanks, Jim
