Im about to start building a 30x35 garage.
Its going to be a wooden pole barn with a flat roof sloping back.
I want it to look retro, similar to an old gas station.
How should I do the exterior walls?
Thanks alot. here is also some pics of the style that I'm looking to build. There is a bar in Huntsville,Tx that is an old quonset hut and the lower half is the bar and pool table area and the top is the office space. I would like to build mine thatway to live up top and have my shop in bottom.
I'm looking to build an authentic looking WWII style quonset hut, not the ones you buy in a kit that are space age looking. How are the frames constructed and how is the sheet metal overlapped to keep it from leaking.
any help would be appreciated, google wont help me.
well the length is the issue, i have a 20 ft trailer and the walls are 38 ft long. but yes i am going to cut the top and bottome plate free, just then cut them to 20 ft manageable lengths.
i plan on removing the barn in as larg of pieces as possible. i am going to take the walls and the roof down to the studs and rafter and then cut then in half so that they are manigale. when it comes time to reassemble i will just have to double stud them where i cut them in half, no big issue...
im looking at a shop that someone has for sale that needs to be dissasembled and moved to my property. whats the best way of removing the shingle roof so that i can reuse it? also it is a 32 x 38 for $1500 and all wood, is that a good deal? i live near houston
im in the process of designing a garage and i would like a flat roof so that i can have a deck on top. what is the best way to go about this so that it is sturdy and sealed?
