Put the red siding on first and just make the white squares (4). Do the math and forget about 3x3. What ever it comes out too, make it symetrical.
What are the exact finish dimensions of the door? Is it longer than it is wide?
If youleft red on the bottom it will look fine.

RobertBrown,
I decided to draw a basic door with just 4 white squares like you suggested. Now, which one would pop out and say country to you?

The one on the right looks better. IMHO.

Brandi, The first one looks like a symbol for the White Cross.

Defiinitely the second one so that Purina can come to your place with a order to cease and detest from using their logo or be sued for infringement. LOL

Firefighter9208,Iowachild,Paguy,
Thanks. I agree. I just wanted to show Robert what 4 white squares looks like.

The 4 white squares do look like a cross.

The Purino logo also has a red border around the white that frames the 5 red squares. So I will not be infringing on a logo, only a reasonable facsimile.
hugs, Brandi

Hi all, I'm building a 16X24 pole barn with eight posts and four trusses. The question I have is how far apart do you put the purlins between the trusses. I want to use galvanized aluminum roofing.

12" centers will be stronger than 18". You have snow loads to consider and adding up the cost, it doesn't seem to be that much more.
I'm assuming you are talking about the prulins that will be on top of the trusses? You mentioned "in between".
I'm also assuming you are using 1x4 lumber as purlins
