And then here are some pictures of the bones of the structure all finished and ready for the roof and the siding...

Thanks guys, Sorry for not getting more loaded yet but here we go... So now its time to get the trusses and sides onto the pole building...

Now that the pad was done it was now time to get going on the Pole Barn.... And since they already had the Attachment for it they were nice enough to help me dig some holes for some trees a lot quicker than I could have done it by hand... and once they finished with that and got...

So I call the excavator and have him come out to level a pad for the 40x60 pole barn and we get things started. I wanna say when it was all said and done I paid around 3,000.00 USD for the finished product and some help around the yard on some rough spots I got tired of not being able to mow...

Here is the fresh untouched area that I plan to put the pole barn. Unfortunately its lower than the rest of my house so I know I am going to have to raise it up and that means a lot of back fill which equals money. This is also an area that when it rains it just pools in so I know it needs to...

Hello Everyone, So after using this site as a resource and realizing how helpful it was in helping me figure out exactly what I wanted my "Garage" to be its now time to give back. I recently had my pole barn put up and have gotten to a point now where I can share without having people waiting...

Voi, Oh and I needed the plywood up because I am planning on using this pole barn as a giant rec room/ Gym and I dont want a dumbell/weighted bar or basketball to go flying through my metal siding.

Voi, So the MDO I am getting is stuff from a guy on craigslist here that sells blemished boards for cheap so I got 10 sheets of HDO Actually not MDO for 100$ and plan to go back and get more once I get those hung. Its a sweet deal if your not worried about it looking beautiful. The sheets...

Oh and to Slip knot, Thanks! I wanted this barn to have an indoor/ outdoor feel because I live out sorta in the country and would hate to be trapped inside the building when I could have beautiful views while I am in under cover from rain.

Hey Everyone, Thank you to everyone for the kind words about the shop. I never thought when I first got on this sight I would end up with something so nice but after 6 months its finally here. I should probably but together a build sight to help others. Sorry rburke65 I didnt realized I...

Thanks Bgarrett, I had alot of fun with it and definitely used this forum for research when I was figuring out exactly what I wanted. Another question I have is if I do do the insulation should I cut it up and put it in between the horizontal girts or just slap the big 4x8 piece over them...

Thanks Smilie, Thats kind of what I was thinking but didn't want to drop a bunch of money on insulation if it wasn't gonna make that much of a difference but I also didn't want to put all the plywood up and then have to take it all back down again to put insulation up later if it was gonna be...

Hello Everyone, I was hoping someone could help me out here with trying to figure out what to do when putting up my MDO Plywood walls. I just finished building a 40x60 Pole barn that has two sliding doors opening each ends 20 feet by 12 feet high. I live in Portland Oregon and didn't see a...

So I totally missed the 2nd page when i was responding, I am going to have one split 20x12 sliders on each end not 10x12, I realized I worded that wrong later. I guess being here in portland I am not too worried about weather conditions because it only happens every so often if at all that it...

Fortunately I am not planning on insulating the room as it will be a Training center/ Vehicle storage so I wasn't too worried about the door seal, I also live in Portland Oregon so I don't have to worry about cold weather all that often. I didnt know that they made attic trusses for that but I...
