bczoom - I will be building it myself and will probably lay it all out in Visio first - it's great for that.

Go to your local library (many you can search online) and look in the 'Business & Technology section somewhere in the 600's, as I recall. You will find a wealth of construction information there. You should find more than a couple books there specifically dedicated to pole barn construction. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Sounds like I need to make a trip to the library. Take my daughter there all of the time 'cause she loves books and I never think to look for myself...
I know, I know - just like my tractor, I will always want a bigger barn, but the funds will be the limiting factor I'm afraid (spent too much on the tractor?? nah....)

There is a great pamphlet from Menards building supply on building pole barns. It is concise, to the point, and very easy to read. Kind of like "Pole Barn Building for Dummies".

Hey Mike,
I think I learned more from these forums and picked up more how-to here than anywhere. Plus you have the needle factor. Once you announce your plan, well - you know.
Anyway, here is my link. Mike Z pole barn
It has held up very well so far. I still cannot get the RTV in there, someone likes it in the garage. /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif
