Yes, I do see why they're called polebarns, not small houses. I searched the internet with new better search terms and got some good material. I drilled some more holes (yes, one wall of the barn is filled with holes now) and discovered that the girts are 22 inches apart horizontally. The bad new is I need to put that ledger board right in between where the girts are placed, so I'm working on that now. Thanks for enlightening me and pointing me in the right direction:thumbsup:
For a ledger, really you will want to tie it into the poles themselves, so try to locate them. If snow loads are an issue, might want to run some numbers to make sure the pole footings can handle the extra load, but I suspect they will be OK.
