36' x 36' horse barn

[MTNFRAMER]

I am building a 36' x 36' horse barn with two lean-to's

The reason I put it in DIY is my client will take over after the shell is finished.

Nice, clean pad. Sort of a blank canvas :thumbsup: I'll be watching your build.

Beautiful dirt work!!!! I'm looking forward to following your progress.

Thanks Kevin and Eddie. This particular build is a pole barn kit made by one of the big dog manufacture companies. I
am waiting for shipment 11/20/12, if this goes well for both parties I expect to build a few for this company.

:welcome: Well if the pole barn turns out as nice as the dirt work it will be OUTSTANDING! Like the dog also. Good luck.

Dutch I snapped a picture of my dog because Im afraid it might be Rocky's last job walk, he is 14 and the vet
said he does not have long.

Love barn threads. Any sketches or photos of your plans? Metal? Wood? Style? Looking forward to following this.

All wood framing with wood trusses, metal siding and roof. I have a set of prints but nothing online
that I know of, however I have some sketches of a hybred steel truss with wood framing 30' x 30'
garage if you like. I am a big fan of steel trusses, nothing wrong with wood trusses it is just a personal
preference

Are the lean-to's part of the 36'x36'? Loft? Why metal siding? Look or durability? Ever think about wood siding? You can get 1x12's often for a good price. Not necessarily trying to change your mind, but wood barns are beautiful! The size of what you're planning is the same as what I've been building for the past 5 months. (Almost done. There's a thread here on it.)

Edit: oops, I just went back and read that you are building this for a client, so you are limited by their desires.
