I do have a quick question for Turbo. In your wall construction thread, the metal piece along the bottom on the inside where the finish metal will sit on at the bottom, next to the floor. Is there a name for that piece to ask for at the building supply or is that a custom made piece? Going to...

Jack Stand, Haven't got that far as to how I am going to heat. My first option & intentions is to use propane. My building will mainly be used for storage, but will be in there a lot, especially during the winter months, to wash and clean up my car & truck. I want to keep it above freezing...

I like what you done also. Too far down the road yet as to what I'm going to do about finishing the inside. As I want a wash bay inside, leaning toward metal in that area anyway. And leaning toward metal for the ceiling. I like Turbo's idea about using foam for the ceiling and walls. May go...

Thanks NUTTSGTN & TRBOMAX for the info. Enjoyed your thread very much Trbo. Good read. I've learned a lot just reading your thread. Thanks again.

Well, prior to talking with my contractor, my intentions where to go with 1 1/2" foam board, because a 2x4 is only 1.5" thick if that.

:headscratLike most newcomers of late, I have been lurking around for a while getting ideas here and there. I should back up just a little. I live in the northeastern part of Kentucky and weather permitting, will be starting on digging the holes for my 40 x 64 x12 pole barn within the next...

Yes, I purhased one early in the spring. Really like it. The only thing,it took me most of one day to put it together. Really after thinking about it, I think it was a little longer. I started early one afternoon & worked to well after dark. And it took most of the next day. Of course, I...

While I'm not no ways near this part of the build yet, I will eventually get there. I hope. Anyway, I am wanting a car wash bay in my pole barn in one corner or along one way. So what would the cheapest/best way to cover the bottom 4 feet of that wall & still have a nice waterproof...

Well, one reaon for the 12' ceilings, is I have a son with a 01 F=350 that is --well -- lifted. I wont say anymore than, I can't get in the truck without a latter. He is wanting to use it some. Maybe. Anyway. Right now plans are for the 3 ply poles to be on 8' centers.

Dont know. I'm not a gearhead & this building will not be for that reason. But, I want something nice & clean. It will be to store my truck & bass boat, lawn equipment, odds & ends. I want a wash station to wash & clean my truck/boat/whatever up if its cold and nasty outside. I am going to...

Trying to nail down the final touches on pole barn. Need to let contractor know something next day or so. Trying to decide on trusses. Building size is 40W x 64L x 12H. Last decision made was 4/12 pitch w/18" overhang and trusses on 24" centers. Planned on going with OSB board, bubble...

Just moved back to my homeplace. Greenup, KY.

Really don't have pics persay. The only thing I have done was go from pole barn supplier, for example Blitz; ABC Metals; etc and go thru there building gallery and gather ideas as to what I want. Have had thus far a 100 or more different ideas on what I want and trashed most of them already...

Hello from KY. Starting a new pole barn project to house my bassboat, tractors and lawn equipment and pickups. Have been here a little while. Just been watching from a distance trying to pick up tidbits of info. and there is a lot of good info here from what I have seen thus far.

I am a newbie to this forum. I have been watching from a distance so to speak for a little while trying to pick up this and that. I am in the process of starting a pole barn. I am having a contractor do the job for me as I am too busy with work & do not have the time right now to do the work...
