Hello Everyone, Just wondered if anyone could give me some
tips on construction of a pole barn on concrete
pilings. I am beginning process of planning for
a 30 x 40 x 12'high pole building. The plan is to drill 18" holes to a depth
of 36". Fill them with concrete up to grade, then galvanized post anchors
will be lag bolted into the concrete pilings.
The posts will set on these and diagonal bracing
will be installed between the poles for strength
(since they will not be below grade). It is
obvious the concrete will have to be low enough
to allow the bottom girt to go to grade. I am
not concerned about grass growing up to the side
of building. A foot or so will have screanings and possibly gravel up to the outside of the
building. One of my concerns is the size of
lumber to use for diagonal bracing. Will 2x4
lumber be strong enough or should I go to 2x6?
The poles will be 8' OC so the diagonals will
have to be 14.4' long. Those long 2x4's seem
to flex a lot. Any input appreciated. Tim, Ohio
