    Construction method recommendation needed: 30x56x14 garage

    That really stinks about not building a post frame building. I am in Dakota County in IGH on a 2.7 acre lot and was able to build a post frame building up to 1000sqft with my smaller setbacks or up to 1600 soft if I used a 50' setback. I put wood in-between the poles so that I could nail lap...

    Pole barns and attic trusses

    Building 30 x 36 Garage and Shop Space

    I have a a cement slab poured seperate from the garage floor that goes out about 3' from the garage doors and then the asphalt driveway begins. These slabs were poured in 3 sections with 2 in front of the double car garage and 1 in front of the single car. When I bought the house, they had all...
