building a pole barn

[capnbo]

Hello Friends

I am building a 20 x 46 pole barn (24' open carport for boat storage/22' shop
on the end) A lot of my search subjects led me to this forum due to the number
of members who have built or know how to construct a post
/beam building.

I bought an engineered building from Hanson's and constructing it myself. I have the 15 posts cemented in the ground and plan on pouring the foundation when home next month.Before starting on the trusses and roof.

I will begin to search for answers to questions I have and thank you all in advance for responses if I ask for your advice and expertise.

just a suggestion here. we build them complete as a pole barn. then put concrete floors in to avoid issues with permits and innspections... for some reason yyou dont need a permit if you pour concrete in a pole barn after construction. if you pour concrete before building barn then they require a permit....... good luck have fun and stay safe... and send pics during process....

Thanks for the welcome comments.

I am building the open carport section for boat storage, but looking for a tractor, bush hog, disc to maintain acreage in MS. Any links to used equipment
in my area would be appreciated. Watching ebay and MS farm market bulletin.

The building is in a residential neighborhood and had to permit it through the city. Pouring the slab next just to have a good level work surface for lifting trusses and finishing the building.

Not seeing how to post pictures?

very nice buildings mud mechanic. I like them.

 

[Mud Mechanik]

It's the same building, one of the pics was before I put the sides on, just wanted to let you see the construction method.

I like the steel trusses. Did you make them?

How do you post pictures on this site?

 

[Mud Mechanik]

I ordered them from a metal company in Augusta Ga. But I believe there is a company in Gulfport that sells them. To attach pictures to your post just scroll down while you are typing your post and click on manage attachments.

Figured how to send pictures on the app from phone.
