My new Amish pole barn 36x48

[colnago]

And a Amish glider for mama, I think it was a good trade off.

close ups of some trim. He even trimmed the posts. He wrapped posts with a layer of plastic before trimming. Not sure why? Looks great tho.

He wrapped them with plastic because the treated post are very corrosive to aluminum and steel.

Great build love it did you ask for the glider? or did they throw that in ? either way its nice

 

[colnago]

Amish furniture store up the road has the gliders. There are made out of the composite decking material.
You know how wives are, you got a polebarn, what do I get. lol.

Very nice!!! Looks like they did a great job.

 

[Howling]

Very nice build

Craftsmanship...

There's a word I don't use very often anymore. Very nice.

 

[Howling]

Could you give a rough estimate on what you have in the building with material, concrete and labor. Trying to get some ideas in my head.

 

[LB-1911]

Looks like it was meant to be there!

Your pooch looks worn out from supervising the job.

 

[colnago]

I'll break it down. 32 k was total. 36x48 12' walls, with 8 foot leanto, 16' foot bonus room, skylight, wainscot belt. 6"concrete with fiber and mesh, and floor drains. Also two 10x10 rollups, two 36" entry doors, four 3x3 windows. And trimmed out leanto ceiling and poles. Like I said before, he used better material then other's I researched. and used osb and vapor barrier on roof.

 

[Howling]

Thanks for the info, that is very reasonable.

 

[dkroth]

Man, those guys killed it.

Enjoy the space.

 

[upndown]

Very nice! Love the color choice as well.

 

[kindoy2]

Bogen?

 

[GDPossehl]

Very cool. The fit and finish is top notch! I had that Weird Al Yankovic song stuck in my head while scrolling through this thread though.

 

[rmmiller]

Fantastic work, those guys are damn good! My dad and I built a pole barn once and I wouldn't want to do it again!

 

[mrrooG8]

Awesome build!! I love the quality work the Amish do around here. Im in SW Michigan. I love the style build you went with. Almost exaclty same dimensions Im gonna go with. But I want a loft style of your design.

 

[colnago]

Some updates. rented a trencher and installed a 100 amp sub panel in the barn. I am not an electrician, so don't beat me up to bad. It did get by the inspector

 

[colnago]

more. still over two pics per post or i get an error

 

[colnago]

got three more.

 

[colnago]

thru up a bunch of 100 watt equivalent led bulbs, not crazy about florescent. they total out to less then 250 watts. pretty bright. The four can lights are also pretty bright. I think they were only 40 or 60 watt equivalent.

 

[colnago]

Put up a opener on one of the roll up doors. Also the barn is filling up quick. Thats what everyone told me, to always go as big as you can . lol

 

[rv245]

Here in Central MI are you? I'm looking at building either a 30 x 50 or 40 x 60 next year. We have a place up by Gaylord.

Very nice garage and thanks for the pics

 

[colnago]

here's the neighbors riding down to the pond at the end of my road to go swimming. love it up there, very quiet and relaxing.

 

[colnago]

Down between Clare and Gladwin. do it up with the 40 x 60

 

[rv245]

Can I please get their name and number. PM me if you want. Might you know if they would travel that far for a build? I guess if anything it would add to the price of one.

Haven't got a quote yet, but was looking at the pole barns on Midwest Pole Barns in Midland.

 

[Bears Fan]

Awesome attention to details, can't believe they put in all the screws by hand!!! You have a great building there

 

[Robert77]

PM sent for contractor info

 

[colnago]

Been Awhile. Thought I would share pic of the room I added in the barn.

 

[colnago]

Some more.

 

[jvitez]

Fabulous build! Love to see what pride in your work can accomplish.

No plans to insulate the rest of the shop? Do they ever install building wrap on the wall prior to installing the steel wall panels?

Beautiful room BTW. How do you plan to use it?

 

[colnago]

No plans to insulate rest of the barn. Just steel panels on walls, no wrap. Going to put a freezer and some shelving in the bonus room for food and storage because our house has no basement. Barn is filling up quick tho. Just picked up a used mini excavator. was going to get a backhoe for the tractor. but used digger wasn't a whole lot more.

 

[TurboMustang370]

Great looking mini.
