    Pole building construction help in PA

    I also used Timberline for my pole barn last year 40'x60'x16'. All Amish crew and they did a fantastic job. I highly recommend them and would use them again in a second.

    Pipe Threader Question

    I may be stating the obvious but are you inserting the pipe into the die from the right end on the 1/2" die? The die is tapered so it will only accept the pipe from one end.

    End of day 2 of construction and wow do these guys work hard! They worked from 8:00am to about 4:30pm and got to the point shown in the pictures with a 5 man crew.

    Finally my turn, 40'x60' polebarn!

    Question for the group. Anybody familiar with Green Post brand post coatings? As you can see in the pictures below this is a tar like inner coating with a very thick plastic outer coating that I chose as an option on this building. I want this building to last longer than me so I thought it...

    Finally my turn, 40'x60' polebarn!
