This drainage system is solely for down spout drainage and drainage coming off the hill/spring. The catch basins are going to be connected into shape of and L and drain into one spot. The shop will have its own floor drain system with a grease trap. With this clay the water doesn’t leak down...

So I dug my trenches and two catch basins for my new shop. My ground is mostly hard clay. As I dug the down I hit small little veins that are seeping ground water through. My plan was to just cover up the piping with the clay that I removed. But the water seeping I’ve decided to put 3” of #57...

Made some head way over the weekend with the catch basins/drainage system. Have a spring on the back corer where the second catch basin is going. But as I dig the trench I'm seeing a couple veins that water is migrating through. We were going to cover the drainage pipe backup with the clay...

I am no longer doing a traditional stem wall foundation. The plan now is to do a concrete beam foundation. Basically trench down to frost depth 10”-12” wide, set your rebar, form the upper portion and then pour the concrete.

No your fine, I post on here for a reason to discuss back and forth. Now you may have miss understood my foundation as it will be to frost depth of 36” and then 12” above the finished 6” thick floor. I was stating it’s was going to be 10-12” in width. Yea that was my original post when I was...

Hello, I finally started breaking ground on my new shop at my house. The current plan is a 50x100x17 pole barn built on trench/beam foundation with sturdi-wall wet set brackets. The foundation plan is to trench "10-12" wide set the rebar and form at finished grade with the foundation 12" above...

Yea I'm very familiar with RR great video's. Which I'm planning on doing myself, but it doesn't hurt to have detailed plans. I'm not required to have them.

Does anyone recommend any decent places for post frame engineered prints? Located Oh 43701.

I was quoted $80000 for a stick built 50x100x18 and that was just for bare bones shell built on my supplied foundation. No interior insulation or finishes. I was quoted $13000 for footers and 5 rows of block, I think concrete would be better route with the brackets and columns.

I went to a semi-local company that specializes in nothing but poured concrete foundations. I told them what size I wanted and plans with the building. It's non commercial, I don't have to build to any codes where I'm at at. The building manufacturer of the kit is supplying the brackets, so I...

I looked into stick built, just seems like a lot of added cost to go that route for the height I want. Also I would need a taller foundation wall. 32" of the wall is going to be in the ground for frost depth. I know I've seen it debated forever, but with post-frame isn't it easy to insulate? You...

That's what they spec to me, I didn't have any input on the qoute. I'm using 3-ply 2x8 laminated columns, I want a 10" wide wall over the 8" they quoted, I can't imagine going to 24" wide footers would add that much cost. The wall will mostly be under ground.

No, I'm doing the wet-set sturdi wall brackets and bolts the pole to the stem-wall. Which will be one foot above the finished floor.

That's what I assumed, but when you put the dimension up I wanted to make sure.
