40'x48' in Ohio.

Started putting the metal on a week ago. Should go quick now. The cupolas are getting put together, the overhead door should be on soon, and some other odds and ends to finish up. Got a quote to spray foam the whole thing. Not cheap but the way I think I am going to go. Concrete will wait...

The truss company was behind four weeks. Was hoping to get it started in late October but that is how it goes. Weather has cooperated so far. I think two to three more weeks and the shell will be done. May go ahead with the concrete if we get a week that will be warmer than usual.

The 6' overhang is attached, half of the windows are installed and all of the nailers are on and ready for metal. It is coming along slowly. Thinking about concrete, electric and insulation. I can probably do two of the three in the next few months.

Got all of the trusses up. Went with scissor trusses on the one end to put a loft in with plenty of headroom. Coming along nicely. The boy likes all the equipment.

The lumber company that put the materials together for me gets the posts and perma columns from Richland Laminated Columns in Greenwich, OH. They are a distributor for Perma Column I believe. The additional cost was a little over $50 per pole. I did not think that was too bad.

The perma columns are buried the same way as any post. We drilled down approximately 48", put an 8" thick precast concrete cookie in there, put the uplift anchors on the perma columns, set the post, put a sack of quikcrete in each hole and backfilled. They are pigs to handle. Took a bit more...

Starting my 40'x48' pole barn with perma columns. Post holes are drilled and posts are set. It will have one 18'x12' overhead door, six windows and one man door. I have a 20' section at one end with scissor trusses that will have a open loft. I will keep the pictures coming as we get further...

New here but have been reading a ton of the older posts to get as much info as possible before I go ahead with my pole barn. I am going with a 42'x48'x16'. Fully insulated, 6" concrete pad, floor drain, full length 10' wide lean to, partial open loft in the end, 200 amp service, stubbed in...
