Thanks for all the great ideas so far. I have a few of these ideas in my head at one point in time but I was not sure if there was a better was a better way. I have though of using the 90 deg bends or some type of pull through. I am liking the idea of the chase the hides all of the wire entry...

I have ran into another small problem... I had planned to run romex (NM cable) inside the walls of my pole barn for my lighting, and outlets. My first thought was to run the romex out the back of the breaker box using 1/2" knockouts and cable clamps, but the box only has very few 1/2"...

I have downloaded the visual 3D software shown. But I'm not having much luck. I was able to search for lights but I could not get them to be added to the bottom of the screen like Lonestar shows. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.

I totally agree that I'm over thinking it. That seems to be what I'm best at, lots of thinking and planning and no real work seems to get done because I'm not sure that I have the correct plan...haha I think that running the strip lights long ways of the building (the direction of the ribs)...

Ok everybody, I need to get some lights in my barn since I now have the electric service hooked up. But I can't decide the best layout and type of lights to get. When I had the barn built I had the builders cover the ceiling with white ribbed metal and blow in insulation before they...

Sorry if this has been asked before, but searching did not turn up the answer I was looking for. The construction on my pole barn finished awhile ago, and I'm starting to run the wiring, but I'm starting to think ahead to the next steps of insulating and covering the walls with metal. I had...

Day 2: The girts are finished on 3 walls. Their are standard girts on the outside and bookshelf girts on the inside of the post. I wanted the book shelf type to have something to attach bats of insulation to, and attach inside metal to without loosing interior space.

Well the build started yesterday so I figured it was time to start uploading some pics. Like the title says it is going to be 36x60 with 12 foot walls, and an attic. Two 10x8 garage doors on the front short wall and a 14x10 and 12x10 garage door on the long side. Only three guys...

I'm on the count down for the construction to start on my 36x60x12 high pole barn. I have been reading up on heating systems, and the natural gas radiant tube heaters have peaked my interest. I tried doing some searching of local retailers here in central Indiana that sell this type of...

Well a few days ago I signed the contract on my building. And got my building permit. I went with the Amish builders that build a friends barn. They had the lowest quote, I have seen there work, and have been very helpful with all off the changes and additions that I had then do to the first...

Thank you for all for your replys so far. I have added my location to my profile. Anybody live in my area have any builders that they trust, that I should check with? Thanks again, Ryan

Hello All, This is my first post, but I have been looking on here for awhile. As the title says I wanting to build a 36x60 with 12 foot walls and attic trusses. I have contacted a few builders in the area and the quotes range from $32,000 to $68,000. The quotes in the $32,000 range are...

Hello all, I am getting ready to purchase a house and some land. It has no garage, so that is one of the major items that needs addressed. I'm thinking a 30 by 40 will fit my needs. I've been looking at several pictures on here to get ideas but lots I've seen did not have the sizes listed...
