Many different designs for each type of project are also included. For example, there are hundreds of designs ru-vid.comUgkxb2mhCug-GkCWrq69Ce2I0nM0D4QpxAqu for outdoor buildings, from small sheds all the way up to a complete stable. Choose whatever type of shed or storage house is right for you. Pick from fancy ones or more utilitarian designs.
I'm a contractor in the renovation/construction industry; sure is great to see people take such pride in their work! Congrats on picking a good crew for that project Chris!
Chris transfers some of his excitement to the viewers. I like it even more 'cause I don't have to pay for it. It pays to keep your equipment out of the weather and it's easier to do maintenance when you're out of the weather.
Nice barn! They do an amazing job! They built me a 30x30 6 guys 1 1/2 days. It was neat to watch each guy had a specific job they definitely have the barn building down
Years ago I had the pleasure to work with the Amish in Pennsylvania putting up a horse barn and arena. They work their tail off. One guy hit his finger with a hammer and broke it, he still worked the rest of the day.
Great pole barn. Steel bollards are a great addition for preventing damage to the front corners and front doorway posts. Bollards on the inside and outside of the entrance posts are recommended. I've seen someone hit the inside bollard with a snowplow wing that was down while in the wash bay. The driver forgot the wing was down, the wing is hard to see and when the wash bay overheads were opened it created fog from the cold winter air acting on the pressure washer mist. Saved the building from considerable damage. Its usually friends or outside contractors that crash into your doorways.
By the way I really enjoy your videos ! Makes it even cooler that you are local to me . I live in Wilson county and have built pole barns all over the state of N.C.
Gotta love those Mennonites! When I carved my new farm out of a field in 2003, I hired an Amish guy to build our 40' X 30' X 10' sidewall pole barn. They were in and out in TWO days! $7500. It was a great deal. Once that was done, I had power run to the building for the whole property and did a large 200amp breaker box inside the barn with the pole just outside. Destranded some #2 wire into a 100a. breaker and ran that over to the temporary mobile home we had and I had so many breakers, I ran each 110v. outlet on it's own breaker in the barn! It was great! You could be running a table saw and pop off a circular saw at the same time and the lights wouldn't dim, lol. Serious overkill - but that's ok. Nice Barn! Your farm's comin' along nicely! Is that red building out in the field a portable chickin' house?
Those guys did a great job on your building, I know you are proud to see it finished, I could tell you were excited to see it go up so fast, good luck with your project.
Very nice barn Chris.......you have worked hard and done well for yourself with the additional equipment you have purchased over the last couple years!!!! Really enjoy your videos.
On the back side of our barns we use a natural gutter made up of #2 stone on the ground. Depending on the slope it may be high in the center and the trench slope to both side or be high on one side and slope all one direction. helps keep eroision down.
The Amish and Mennonites are Perfectionist with what they do. Our Kitchen Cabinets were made by the Amish and the Solid Surface Countertops were made by the Mennonites. One (1) Amish and one (1) Mennonite as a Team Completed the Install at our Home. Great 👍 Job!
DO NOT raise the grade outside above the bottom of your skirt board (as you said)!!! If you do, water that hits the building will follow the building down and find its way inside. Instead, to seal off the inside from the outside, raise the inside grade by an inch or 2 above the bottom of the skirt. Just be careful not to compact the material too much near the middle of a skirt board or it will bow out.
I work in the construction industry on a building that size with 5 guys and a good day we set trusses the same day we move in.... And yes we stack all our steel an predrill every hole...one thing I did notice they didn't put corner bracing in and no vapor barrier makes your steel roof last 10x longer
You should drill and add a big pipe or pole in front of each of the poles on the outside in case someone screws up an backs into one. You don't want your barn to collapse partially for a stupid mistake, so a crash pole is good to have.
Chris...love the channel. You may consider what you do as boring, but I have always had flow problems when running a hoe. You make it all look easy! I was always put in the skid steer back on the farm, haha. Anyway, that is going to be one nice pole barn for sure. You will like the 3 foot overhang. I have lost count how many my Father and I put up back in Ohio over the years. Simple, cost-effective and low maintenance.
Congrats on 100k I've been watching you since the doosan days and when you first put your camera above your head in the 210 on that 200 thousand dollar camera mount lol
ibc is the plastic 275 gal totes in a metal cage you can pickup for 100 for cleaned non food grade...they can be buried or just set at the corner and use as a cistern water basin for water needs...washing equipment ect...and it keeps the water out of the pole barn
you could almost turn this into a shop .... add door insulation concrete pad electricity you know the major thing and there you a go a shop lol very nice building
There are several ideas for building sheds Start With a Sound Foundation a shed wont last long if it's set on a weak base Allow for Air Circulation to prevent damp Build a Weather-Resistant Floor Frame Use Low Maintenance Materials so you won't have to keep painting it (Reference: Adota blueprint pack site )
Are you gonna put in some power for lighting and other things? Very nice job. Eve troffs would take care of the water coming off the roof. Over all very nice to be able to shelter the equipment. Albert
@@kylancook3477 I'm actually building a traditional home as we speak. The metal building with living quarters was gonna be way more than expected and requires commercial insurance.
Love the barn but may I ask a question ? Do you think it will cause a problem with rot if you back fill dirt up against that board running along the bottom ? Thanks for sharing.
Hey Chris ;) Just wondering why theres no gutter's and down pipes to carry the water away to storage tanks? or just to get it away from the building? In rural areas here in Australia we store and use all the water our roofs can collect. Anyway thank for another good video ;)
