Yes another bookshelf girt thread, sorry for that. I've considered many different ways to finish the enclosed side of my 36x60 pole barn. I think I have a couple of challenges, but maybe those challenges are from lack of planning or inexperience. The posts are laminated 2x6's, so in the...

I have silty loam soil in an area that is essentially a drainage from the surrounding mountains. I brought in 854 yards of 4" road mix (yikes....that hurt the budget) that was compacted between truck loads. The dirt work was done back in August of 2017, and then my 36x60 pole barn was built in...

Finally bit the bullet and getting a 36x60 pole barn built. It’s a pseudo 3 sided machinery shed, but with 2 of the 5 bays enclosed with a partition. All of the materials were delivered today and things are looking good for the builder to start next week. The building is light stone siding...

Thanks GJ!! What a great community of DIY’ers that are full of knowledge and more importantly, a culture and willingness to share that knowledge. Like many others before me, I’ve been looking and learning, but the time has come to get more serious about planning and executing. Location >...
