The property was select cut about 15 years ago. I think there is a lot of poplar on it. Not sure about hardwoods. I am going to go take a hike on this week sometime.

I am in the process of purchasing 33 acres which is 95% wooded. There is one flat spot that is already cleared out which I plan to park my 28ft camper on. I do not plan on living there but it is a weekend get away where I can hunt and ride ATV's. My future plans are to build a garage with a...

I finally bought a decent air compressor (60 gallon from Lowe's) and need to run 3 main lines from it to different points in my garage. I was going to run black iron pipe but started pricing it out and realized it might be over budget. What are your thoughts on just running regular rubber air...

I actually graduated from Licking Heights but moved to the Northridge are about 7 years ago.

I just found this thread and see you live close to me. I live east of Johnstown. I have a Johnstown address but I am really close to Alexandria.

Can someone help me find the thread that shows a house/garage build? I remember seeing something where their garage was on the 1st floor and the living area was on the 2nd floor. Anything would be great as I am just trying to find ideas on a garage/house all in one deal.

Firetrucks, I am about 30 minutes NE of Columbus. Thanks for all the good advise. I don't think we have to much trouble with wood boring bees, but who knows we might. You were able to get by with using 2x4's as your rafters? What did you use as your roofing material?

The pitch will not be very steep, basically just enough to get water to run off of it. I guess it will have about 1 foot of fall in 12 feet. The lean to will be 12wide x 40long. I need 10'5" of head room for my camper to fit under. From the ground to the bottom of the soffit is around 12ft...

Does all the lumber for the lean to need to be treated or can I use yellow pine for some of it. I would think that only the posts and the ledger board would need to be treated. Does the rafter boards or beam on top of the posts need to be treated?

vvk645, what do you mean by 6x10 beam? Will this be the beam that runs across the top of your 6x6 posts and will it be on the outside or inside of the posts?

It is a polebarn style. There is a 2x12 runing the length of the barn on the top of each side of the 4x6 posts which are 8 ft apart. So I figured I could screw the 2x12 or 2x?? on to that then mount my joice hangers to that. Now I did build walls out of 2x4's and stood them up between the 4x6...

The camper will block the windows, but not the door. The door is pretty close to the front of the barn and the camper will be backed up all the way to the back of the barn. I will be leveling out the right side and pouring concrete. The reason the right side is the route I am going is because...

I would like to add one to my barn for my 28ft travel trailer camper. I am not sure what the best and cheapest way to do it is at this point. The only thing I am not sure about yet was how to is fasten my rafters to the barn. I was thinking of just running a 2x12 all the way the length of the...

I like the lean too you have on the side of your barn. I would like to add one to my barn for my 28ft travel trailer camper. I am not sure what the best and cheapest way to do it is at this point. It looks like you used steal for your posts and rafters. I was planning on using treated...

I am trying to do the same thing. I have a 30x40x12 high pole barn that I want to add a lean-to to. I want to use it to store my camper under. I just would like some ideas of where to start and how you have done yours. Maybe some pictures. I will try to post a picture of my barn in a couple of...
