Here's a shot inside, I have one half installed with a rope holding it up So you're saying add another one similar to the one that is there (with the rope) but further back over the end of the track? Or add lumber in between the purlins, perpendicular to them? I didn't know that type of track...

Hello, I've been here before for advice on framing my garage and it's complete! So since the construction uses steel trusses, there is no ceiling, wooden truss to hang door tracks off of. I have searched and couldn't find anything, assuming most people use rollup doors in this application. my...

Sorry, what does that have to do with my issue? I think someone else was talking about insurance. I'm just here for building advise

Thanks fourbyford, Something I just realized is that the ramps go past the posts so it isn't level. Does anyone know if I need to cut or level the concrete to build on it there? Since I will be needing to add posts. I thought of installing skirt board and pouring concrete to make it level where...

Bump^

Thanks guys, can someone tell me how the bottom skirt should be installed in relation to the slab? I can't find any that were built over an existing slab so most of the time the skirt is half way below the slab. I have concrete ramps sloping out on the front and back so the skirt should be on...

Sorry this isn't showing much of the house, this is the side of the house not front. So it would really be like almost all houses that have a garage. I would like to be able to go out of the side door and in to the garage, but of course, since it can't be connected, I'll have to go through two...

Most likely vinyl siding I know my insurance agent, she won't have a clue on how to build a pole barn. That is what I need help with. Structure is already there, we need walls and a garage door. Thanks,

That's why I wanted to go with girts and only worry about the exterior for now. Can you take a look at my cad drawing? I'm new to this software but I think this is something like how it should be, I'm just not entirely sure how to frame the gable ends. Pictures of this are hard to find or for...

Hey guys, I am looking to see if there are enclosed pole barn plans available to show how the walls are constructed to a steel truss pole building. Right now I have a car port pole barn and want to enclose it. I looked in this last year and only found so much information on this. I couldn't get...

I do have a concrete slab, I was wanting to do it the way they did here because I'm wanting to save as much money as I can and this way I thought used less material than building frames. I'm wanting the extra posts for the reason you mentioned. I thought maybe the ones in the picture are cast...

Looking to do something like this to enclose my pole building. needing to add those two additional posts like you see in this picture. (and exterior wall framing) (minus the windows/door) I'm not sure if they are in the concrete or bracketed to it, is using strong ties enough for this result or...

That makes a lot of sense now Think I found it "Simpson Strong-Tie Z-MAX Galvanized 18-Gauge Hurricane Tie" Model H1Z Thanks!

I plan to frame out horizontal girts outside the posts on this pole barn. Since the roof framing overhangs quite a bit, I am trying to figure out how to frame the top over the steel trusses and be in line with the outside girts. Most pictures I can find show no overhang so the siding just goes...

I was thinking of doing it like this photo I found, but the main difference between this and mine is my roof frame extends a bit further out so the siding will not have that top frame to mount to. My trusses are in the same position, just the wood framing is further out. What is the best thing...
