Pole shed?

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

Why does a large company use 30 feet? It isn't divisible by four or eight. /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif )</font>

Because it doesn't matter how much they overlap.

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.

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?
