Adding pole barn extension to existing metal building

[pclausen]

Thanks. Both good suggestions. I'll do one or the other when I get back on the roof this afternoon.

Looks good...

I can't tell from the picture how you tied them together. Did you cut 2x4 holes in the side of the existing building to slide them through?

I wanted to do the same thing to my 50x64 Cleary building and extend it 14 foot on the gabel end and leave the metal on the existing building alone. Appearently
Cleary doesn't want to do it cause they quoted over 13k which is crazy money!

Edit....Ok...Nevermind, blew up the next picture and you have joist hangers.

I agree good job....I am watching closely as I need to do a similar extension to my horse barn to make a loafing area. How much help have you had on the building? been wondering if I can tackle this my self or do i need to hire it out.

I had help here and there to speed things up, but I could have done the whole thing solo. In fact, when I did have help, they tended to screw things up. I'm not complaining though!

That does sound crazy! I estimate to be at around $5k by the time I'm done with this 32x36 extension. All the metal was $2400 delivered, and the trusses about $900 delivered.

Made some good progress this afternoon on the front side part of the roof.

2 10' sections of ridge installed.

Finally got my trailer covered!

Very impressive!!!!

How are you going to deal with drainage and water run off?

As for the hole, do not use silicone. It will dry up and curl up on you when used on a metal roof. Buy flashing sealant designed for metal. I like Henry brand products from Home Depot, but have had good luck with most of them. The black tar products are at the bottom of my list of go to roofing sealants, but much better then silicone or caulking on metal.

Thanks!

I installed a french drain all along the side and back of the building.

Mesh and drain pipes laid out:

Different angle:

Filter sock slipped on and pipes leveled:

Different angle:

Had the power company come out and mark the 400A service to the shop. Fortunately it was down a full 36"!

Working on the trench:

Pipes laid in clearing both the power and water lines, yet maintaining a drop:

Covered back up:

Drain outlet. I'll go back and throw some big rocks there.

Thanks Eddie. I'll drop by Home Depot at some point today to check it out.
