Pole shed?

GerardC · Apr 1, 2005

( I am really not set on 30x40 but I was thinking atleast this big to fit my equipment in. If I was using the four foot rule what kind of dimension could I have that would be close to 30x40? Thanks Bob )

Go with at least a 32'x40'. I'm looking at adding 14' or 16' x 40' to mine.

( I've always thought it peculiar that Carter Lumber advertises their pole barn packages in 24, 30, and 40 foot widths.
Why does a large company use 30 feet? It isn't divisible by four or eight. /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif )

Because it doesn't matter how much they overlap.

( You can make any dimensions you want, but proper planning wil save you money on material and time fitting those odd sizes. )

I remember when the professionals showed up to do our barn.
I actually ask them when the materials came if they where expecting another delivery.
They looked surprised at my question.

I could not find a scrap bigger than a 6 inch 1X4 when they were done.

Leave it to the experts to teach you proper technique.

Yes. But not wasting server space!

If you do build four walls, you might want to reconsider the slider door. Do a search on this site about them. Lots of folks have em, not many like em.

I am in the process of building a small (24x27) pole barn. I was going to use sliding doors. What are the problems? Should I reconsider?
