My concrete man was supposed to put a little cut-back between these poles so that, when the roll-door is down, water doesn't come under the door into the shop. Well, he forgot to do it. So he sent a worker out the next day with a diamond saw and did this...... He says he will come back and put...

To close in the end of my 72x32x16 pole barn, I'm thinking of buying two more 8x8 poles go on the end for supporting the framing. I'm thinking they will need to be about 22' long, with 4' of that in the ground in concrete, and I'll need to do this before I can pour my slab. If so, how would you...

Preparing to pour a slab in half of this pole barn. It has clay/sand fill dirt and has been kind of leveled out, somewhat, with a skid steer before the barn was erected. I guess that's called a "pad". It has high spots and low spots and is really not level. Anyway, I have wet it down for a...

I'm planning to form up a slab to go under my new 72'x32' pole barn and need a good laser level, better than the cheap one I have now. Can someone point me in the right direction as to the the type and brand which would be sufficient for this? I'm not looking for a "top of the line" brand, just...

Looking into framing between the poles on my new 72'x32' pole barn. The poles are 8x8's and the eave height is 16'. Here, I have made a drawing with two 2x4 studs between each pole, outside 2x6 horizontals 36'' on center and I will be using a pressure treated one at the bottom. Should I go with...

I'm the guy who built a wooden mezzanine inside my 30x50 steel shop building a couple years ago. Now I'm preparing to have a 32x60 open pole barn built at my place of business. It will be used as an "accessory building" shelter to store some of the wares I sell. I was just made aware that...

I broke the mounting bolt inside a hydraulic return filter. To make a long story short, I had new threaded end TIG welded on. Now, to make a long story short, I cut the bolt in half so it would slide back into the filter housing.(don't ask). Now I want to attach the two pieces together with on...

Finally got around to building this thing and I'm close to being finished. It's 50' long x 13'5'' wide and the decking is 8'6'' off the floor. The joists are supported by a 2x6 stud wall at one end and 5.25'' x 9.5'' x 14' LVL beams at the other; except at one end, over the new paint shop, I...

I'm planning to build an upper floor/mezzanine in my 50x30 shop. It will have 2x10x13 joists supported at one end by a stud wall and at the other by LVL beams. The beams will be 5.25''x9.5'' x 13' long. My question is, can the joists be connected to the side of the beam by joist hangers or do I...

:hellobye: I'm Wayne from NW Florida. Hope I'm in the right forum. I found your site while looking for some info about building a mezzanine. My shop is a 50x30 steel building with 14' side walls and needs more room, lol. I build signs using metal fabrication tools, woodworking, and CNC. I also...
