raising a pole barn height?

Posted by Hoosierhog on February 21, 2013 at 07:03:16 from (69.130.191.125):

just curious if it is possible to raise the height of a pole building.
my shop is a 24x32 x 9 and with the over head door its tight to
get my ford 4000 in there. i also have an issue with the concrete
floor sweating and it has flooded only 1/4 of an inch and only 1 or
2 times since i've lived here but i was thinking. if i striped the
building and back filled 6 - 8inch thick pad of gravel then built my
barn back using the existing trusses, perlins, girts and headers.
the barn needs a new roof and it needs a vapor barrier so that
needs replaced any way. but i was thinking of using sister posts
and making it tall enough id have 12ft door clearance and adding
an enclosed lean to on one side to give me more square footage. i
would reuses any metal i could and i have a good source for cheap
or free lumber not to mention i've been hoarding material to
renovate this biulding for a while. so other than the vapor barrier ,
concrete, fastners and some metal and doing the work my self i
think it would be cheaper than biulding a new shop. so what do
you all think is it possible, is it cheaper to do it this way, what is
your opinions.

oh it also has 4x6 posts and 8ft spacing if that makes a difference.
