My father, brother, and I built a barn / machine shed approx 4 years ago...3 sides with South side open for access...approx 14 feet clearance. Barn was 36 feet deep by 54 feet long...three 18 feet wide bays. Four rows of poles 12 feet apart...so 16 poles (6 by 6 poles, except two poles were light poles (bigger). Each pole 3 feet in the ground. Metal siding and roof with rafters, plating, and nail ties made of 2 by 6 oak and poplar sawmill lumber. I really thought this thing was built well with heavy duty lumber.
Bottomline line is last week big wind storm (came from South) picked up the whole barn at once...pulled all 16 poles straight up out of the ground and flipped it on its top and into the road. Nothing in the barn was affected...all still there with no barn. I would not have believed it if I had not seen it!
Barn sits on a hill...I plan to rebuild...probably have rebuilt due to time constraints.
Courious as to your thoughts...I plan on fully enclosing the new barn with doors and probably concreting in the posts too! Other ideas?
Appreciate your thoughts.
