Re: Pole building attached to existing house.
I'm sure you could but I'd be concerned that some of the pole buildings can sway a bit in the wind and you would have to allow for that.
lg no neat sig line

You probably should ask your building inspector.

Re: Pole building attached to existing house.
From a practical standpoint, I would agree with mtwaterguy - however every form of building will "sway" to some extent, and the deflection is allowable by code. The walls of your stud framed home, with an 8' ceiling height are allowed to move up to 0.4 inches horizontally at the top plate line.

Re: Pole building attached to existing house.
So do you think It is a big deal to have a pole building attached to a house?, I will have the outside with vinyl siding and the roof shingled. So it will look like it is part of the house.

Re: Pole building attached to existing house.
I have a shed roof pole barn attached to my conventionally framed barn. Set the posts below frost line, and you should have no issues

Re: Pole building attached to existing house.
My dad has had a pole building garage attached to his house for 30 years and it has not been an issue at all. I would do it in a heart beat.
