Loader Kioti & Polebarnzilla

I am going to spray a clear preservative on the exposed beam & rafter ends on the tall side since they will be out in the weather until the rest of the barn is built. The rest will "el-nature-al"

Simple but very nice, wish I had one, much better then the temp shelter I have. This pole barn reminds me of my great grand father's tractor/implement/wagon barn. He had one very large barn for hay and the animals. Parallel to the large barn’s north side was a very long tractor/implement/wagon barn. One end of the barn was fully enclosed with a door for a repair shop. The remainder of the barn was open in the front like you’re so he could back the horses or tractor up to the implements or wagons. All gone now, wish I had pictures.

If electric is not available at the barn location have you thought of installing some solar lights? You could mount the solar panels on top of the poles and run a wire to the lights in the barn. Of course this all depends on the sun’s location.

KW, the last pic is the North side, so solar is possible once the main roof is on. Power is available, $10 a month min & I have to have a panel, one light and a switch to get hooked up so that is the best route.

Agree, for min of $10 a month that makes the most sense since you might want to use a welder or compressor in future.

Eddie,

You know I initially was going to do 60'. Then a guy on RimfireCentral.com said, "hey if you go 80' you can have an indoor range"....:thumbsup:. So I made it 80' and after filling two bays with hay, one with sawmill lumber, that leaves one tiny 20' bay left and we still have we still have more hay to cut and bale.
So, it looks like I need to hurry up and build the center section and the other drop shed......quick. 80'x50 should be the finished size and it just won't be big enough when filled with "stuff"(said in a George Carlin voice)

It appears your have plenty of room to do just that. That should give you plenty of room for hay, lumber, workshop, shooting range, and 2nd floor man cave in the center section. Lets us know when it done so we can have a "TractorByNet" party! :thumbsup:
