    Heater in Tn

    I’ve been in my shop for about a yr now. I’m located on the Alabama Tennessee line. Shop size is 40x70 with 12 eve pole barn that’s insulated pretty good with 1 garage door. Last year I used a torpedo(125k) heater that’s got a few miles on it. Heating the shop from 8-3 at 60-70 depending on...

    What's color combinations do you like for pole barns. Some buildings I like two tone browns, some I like greys and whites. Pics are welcome.

    Shipping container shed

    Those carports are 600 each around here. I can get some 5 40ft trusses for 1250 plus tin. I found this one online and appears they used red iron.

    Shipping container shed

    I've saw some amazing looking house's that probably cost a ton. This is what I had in mind but with steel trusses and only 2 containers.

    Shipping container shed

    On the end trusses I thought about a square tube welded on the support and bolt the truss to it. Just unsure in the center.

    Shipping container shed

    I think I just acquired 2 40ft shipping containers to store tractor and such items in. I have goggled and found several ideas I like. One being putting trusses over both of them. I have seen pics using wood trusses but not steel. I know the load goes on the end to support the container above...

    Socket system??

    Yes I know how to Google them. Says in my post that I've tried to contact them with no luck. Called and emailed!! I've read all the threads on here that I can find. Even pm'ed the guy that had 17 page thread, but looking at his post count he only gets on here once a month, which is just north of...

    Socket system??

    Are they still in business? Tried to contact them with no luck. I'd just like a idea on price to see if I would be interested. Most info I've found is around 2005-07 with not much after that.

    Talk me into building it myself!

    The majority of answers have run through my head that are posted above. I think it's good common sense to think thing out before you do them. I'm still learning and researching every chance I can. I did run across the socket system, but only find information around 2005-2007 where ppl have...

    Talk me into building it myself!

    I have been building cars for about 27 yrs, weld, machine work from lath to CNC. You name it I've done it with a car. I've never worked with wood and don't know the tricks of the trade and such. Done some reading and watched a few video's on building a pole barn. I'm planning a 30or40×60, I...

    Interior ceiling

    I have considered sheet metal. Going to be a play 30×40 and would like a home feel. Though I did think about a brown tin. Yes sir. Wood heat and small central unit to cool. It will be located in humid Tennessee.
