Just had my 24x36 pole barn built. Question on Sub Panel

[Lph008]

Pole barn just went up. 24x36x12. Mixed use, work area for small engines, snowmobiles, atvs that kind of work. Storage and Also eventually a hang out area. I have a couple questions on whether I should run the conduit into the building or right up to the outside wall and through the wall? Concrete hopefully soon. This is where I would be putting the panel.
This is how they framed my man door, top of the 2x6 will be finished floor. Not sure if I should come up through the 2x6 or should I 90 up right outside the wall and come through the wall?
Also I can't find any other pictures where they added this 2x6 under the door sill, what about the area under the 2x6? Is that just filled with stone or?

I went through this a couple of years ago. I wanted my sub panel flush with the finished wall. I waited, ran it on the outside wall and had to use nearly back to back type LB conduit body with an interior access panel to keep it in the wall. If you have the time and energy, dig a trench down to your desired depth (ran mine at 18”) and use a 90 degree elbow to come out of the ground inside your wall (if you are putting the sub panel into the wall). I’m sure the electricians here may have something to say about how I did mine, but it passed inspection and got compliments about not burying the inside LB conduit body in the wall. I just put a small door on it surfaced mounted. The only negative I can say about mounting my box in the wall, is that I have to take off my sheet of plywood to add another circuit (which I had to do). It is nearly impossible to plan for everything in the design phase. I hope this helps you! Don’t forget to add your grounding rods for your sub panel too! Have fun with your project!

I did mine all inside, and ran separate conduits from there, all over the place (opposite side, all 4 corners, etc)
I also ran two smaller conduits for internet and security cameras

I regards to your door resting on 2x6, my shop was on a full foundation, so it rests on concrete. As the gentleman added on the picture above, run an extra conduit for internet. I used direct burial cat 6, but put it into conduit.

If you had just come into the back of the panel all the contortions with the LB's would not have been necessary, stubbing a conduit into the stud bay would have been even better, looks better, cheaper, & easier to pull the wire. Although at this point in any project everyone has 20/20 hindsight.

I'm jumping off my detached garage panel, so there's no way to run additional wires etc out to the barn unless I cut out my driveway and run it underneath. So just power for me. I have a wifi mesh system, you just place s router in the garage, plug it in and now that's your wifi hub. Been working for 3 years now, all my outdoor security cameras are wifi, no wires at all

I don't like back to back LBs. I used one to poke into my shop above the sill plate, and a nice big 12x12x4" pull box inside. Then some 2' of conduit up into the bottom of the panel.

Conduit is already buried, I'll have a 8x8x4 weatherproof junction box on the outside of garage and a LB right inside the pole barn directly under the panel. I came up into the pole barn instead of outside. Panel will be when you walk in, behind the door.
