Pole barns are very valuable for constructing structures that are supported by poles. These structures are grounded in a solid way and the balance is maintained by the poles. The best part about these structures is that there is no need of walls, floors or base. Rather it is not obligatory to use floors or walls in a pole barn construction, but if one likes to have them, he or she can definitely do so. A pole barn construction may include several aspects such as barn doors, sliding doors, Dutch doors, covered porches, skylights, etc. The size of pole burn constructions vary and the framing is prepared horizontally to the poles to ensure that the structure remains solid. The poles and frames of the construction are developed with woods and at times metals are also used. For forming the roof, shingles or galvanized steel can be used.
Developing a pole burn is an excellent option as it is easy to form and very economical also. The materials needed for these constructions are of low cost. Some of the important materials used for these pole barns are pressure-treated lumber poles, walls made up of plywood or steel, concrete for attaching the poles, stringers, purlin, galvanized steel or shingles for roofing, screw and nails, doors, etc. Apart from that, other valuable things that are needed for building pole barns are digging tools like hand digger, tractor powered auger; electric drill; hammer; hand saw; etc.
To build a pole barn, first you have to find the suitable location. The site must be appropriate according to the size of the construction. Now, chalk out the post holes and make sure that the corners of the structure are square. Excavate the post holes and put the poles vertically. Find out whether everything is in level or not and only when you are entirely convinced about the positioning, put concrete into the hole and make the structure concrete.
After that, at the top of the poles, put the stringers the leveled manner over the poles. It is difficult to put the first truss and once it is completed, the remaining truces can be set easily. Now, purlins are to be diagonally placed towards the truss length. To cover up the section, you can install roof caps. Remember that roofs developed with shingle or plywood takes more time for completion and hence your measurements must be correct to keep away from any needless hold up in the constructing procedure of pole burn.
If you need installing the walls, then you have to place girts in the whole structure in completely leveled manner. Make numerous rows and fix the grits to the posts with nails. Then by using plywood or metal sheets as you prefer and fix on the wall, but do keep place for doors and windows.
This is how pole barns can be developed. This was an example of simple pole barn construction, but overall the process is economical and takes short time. - 29953
