I have a 30x40 pole barn that i had built,now as usual its not big enough so i would like to add 15 more feet to the width,myself,i dont know how to tie it in to my existing building especially at the roof. Does anyone know where i can get some plans showing me how to do this or has anyone done this before that can offer some tips.
Thanks for any help.

Not knowing from what part of the country you are located . Remember the SNOW LOAD in this kind of situation, you are suggesting. I would lengthen it
rather than make it wider.

WEll, I have a 26 X 38 shop that of course like any other building was out grown at the time it was built. I plan on adding onto the end of it and also off the south side of it.
This is the way I'm going to do mine: Along the side I'm going to set some steel poles along the wall of the shop and go out either 14 or 16 feet and I'm just planning on making kind of a carport style lean too roof. The addition off the end will be done in kind of the same way except it will be a clear span I Beam roof and this will be with square tube posts set within say a foot or two from the end of the building and the purlins running across to attach the will run over close to the building and then I want to have the new roof just overlap the original by a approx a foot. As this is not going to be a closed in add on but rather a covered open work area if a little rain or such comes through it won't hurt anything. Anyhow, thats kinda what I'm going to get going here before long.
I guess the main point I'm working on getting across is that I'm not planning on physically attaching any new directly too the old building.

I am about to expand one of my pole buildings. For the width--which is defined to be that side that has a straight roof line and the water drips off. I Set the poles for the addition at the new width then put the beams in so that the rafters, when attached at the "old" end would provide some slope for the water to continue to run. The unfasten the lower end of the "old" roof, slide the new rafters in either hanging on the "old" beam or sitting on it and "sistered" to each of the existing rafters. At the new end they sit on the beam. Nail on purlins, slip the new under the unfastened "old" roof and screw it down.
Sound easy right--something will not go so easy. Goog Luck

One assembledge of out buildings in my back yard has a total of 4 differnt rib configurations. On the eve side of one addition, we repkaced the first 2x4 with a 1x12 to allow the ribbed diference between metals to pass or flash. The reat of the frameing was typical pole barn useing 2x8 rafters, dropping their plain 3/4" to match the finished elevation of the 1x12.
If this is totally confusing,.. I'm getting more that way myself. For more construction techniques check (typed in)subject archives for past shared info.
Hope some of this help.

I have a barn of same size 16 foot side walls. Steel roof trusses that bolt together in center. I got price of $100. each for 20 foot and $125. for 24 foot with 3 foot drop lean-to trusses that bolt to the 6x6 poles right below the roof truss, and then you will have to put poles on other end. Have not done it yet Hope this helps
