My Pole Barn...a work in progress.

[HBARleatherneck]

This barn will be 36'x48'x12' sidewalls. There will also be a 12'x48' lean to on the South east side. Total size will be 48' x 48'.

I had 2 of my friends come over to help set the trusses (4/12 pitch). We did this in 20-30 mph winds, with freezing drizzel. It was miserable. My tractor only will lift to 10 feet, so it was of no use, since the sidewalls are 12 feet high. The trusses weigh 390 pounds. We man handled one end at a time up the walls. We hung them point down. We used a come along to flip them point up.

My wife and I built almost everything else so far. Just the two of us.

I would be done, but the wind wont stop, so we cant hang the steel. I will update the pictures as I get more work done.

It will have a man door and a commercial roll up in the center 12' wide and 12' high.
