Building a Pole Barn: Step 1

[gregfender]

Cool! It can double as a tornado shelter.

I think I might just chain myself to a stump and take my chances!

The side project to the barn build is almost complete.

Looks good, run you a PVC vent pipe out the back, like a port-a-john, so the perfume can escape and not build up with the door closed and the lid down.

Nice job.

 

[hunterridgefarm]

okay, what is the problem here, your camera broke...lock yourself in the new outhouse and can't get out

We need pictures!!

 

[gregfender]

I've been slack about posting, but busy on the barn. A little paint, some clean-up and some gravel in the pad and we are about done.

Your barn looks great. Nice work!

 

[BuilderML]

I'm seriously jealous!

Greg,

That is a very nice! I just don't like the location, it looks out of place, I think if it was located 25 minutes east of you it would look much better

Looks very nice!

Greg, That is a very nice! I just don't like the location, it looks out of place, I think if it was located 25 minutes east of you it would look much better

After all the trouble I went through to put it there, I'm afraid I'm gonna have to just put up with it where I have it...lol

Looking forward to see what step 2 will be. If step 1 is any indication, it will be impressive. Wink wink.

Another vote for how nice it is. Will we get to see some pictures of the inside with the reclaimed barn board? I realize that interior walls and trim will take some time, but I love the look of old barn board. I have used it to frame a couple of paintings and get so many comments from people who see it.

Here is pole barn I am working on. 21'x30' Cut most of the cedar posts from the property, saved me about $500 but made the job much more challenging to get plumb and square!

This is the interior wall I "decorated". The door is to the "man cave" portion of the shop. I like the rustic look of it.
























The hinges came from the old barn and I just worked up the handle.

 

[wmonroe]

I like the look of the old wood and those hinges are very cool, I've never seen hinges quite like those.

Nice! Definitely rustic and the vertical planking really looks great.
