Framing around doors and windows

[Sigo]

I've got a 24x32 pole building up and am now framing for the interior walls. I'm doing 2.4 walls framed flush with the inner side of the posts. When the building went up, the windows and doors were framed in but are not flush with each other (i.e. windows and doors on same vertical plane) nor is their framing flush with the interior faces of the posts. Would appreciate some pictures of how you all framed up the man doors, windows, and overhead doors.

I don't have any pictures but you you can rip 2x4's to fill whatever size you need.

Photos of what you have?

I think you want the outer wall surface in the same plane to make the building look good. Allow deviations on the inside wall.

Google "extension jambs" and look at some pictures. You can do them a bunch of different ways depending on your particular situation.

The question is, why frame in a pole building?

You didn't say, but I am assuming they used 6" by 6" posts to frame the barn and used 2"x4" lumber to frame the windows and doors. That is what was done on my pole barn. If that is the case, simply rip some 2"x4" lumber to 2" wide and attach to the existing door/window framing to bring the framing in line with the posts.

All,

Thanks for the input. To close this out, I did as some suggested, put in extension jambs to bring the window and door jambs out flush with the inside of the 6x6 posts. The idea of framing the wall is to support the OSB that will eventually be going up once I've done running electrical.

Sounds good.

You can take a look at the build in my sig to see another way of doing it if your interested.

As my windows are all vinyl I built simple 4 sided jam extensions using MDF boards. Ripped to appropriate width, screwed together with factory edges facing inside. I sized these to allow a small reveal of the window frame. I supported these "boxes" by shimming from the rough 2x4/6 framing lumber. MDF boards are factory prime painted so that step is done for you!
