In Reply to: OT: Pole Barn In Stages? posted by Ken Christopherson on April 20, 2018 at 09:26:39:
You can do it in stages. I built my pole barn like that many years ago. Did research on proper rafter size, spacing, etc from websites and books. I built a 32 x 34 barn all by myself, the only help I had was dad helped with setting the 6x6 posts. Hardest part for me was the layout of the site to make sure posts are all in proper position, using the 3,4,5 principle, and the old fashioned water level (clear tubing with water in it to establish relative elevations from post-to-post). Obviously I am not a builder or contractor, just figured it out and made my barn plan on graph paper and pencil with a big eraser. Tractor augered holes for posts, set concrete pad on bottom, when it dries put in post and concrete it again. I used siding of green (wet) oak from sawmill true 1" x 12". When green easy to nail and cut, when dry forget about it. Picture from about 15 years ago, and picture today. Good luck.
