New build 36x54 with 15' walls

DuramaxPowered · Mar 29, 2010

Hi everyone, I'm a new member here getting ready to start building a new pole barn/shop. I'm going with a 36x54 with 15' walls, this is the absolute maximum size that I can get away with staying inside township ordinance :bounce:

........ I'll be building it myself with the help of my brothers and a few good friends. I'll start with a few pictures of the yard with the size and location staked out. All the permits are set and construction is ready to begin :beer:

Have a great time! Sounds like a wonderful barn. Wish I was closer to help.

Best wishes,

David

I was "sick" from work today :spit:

. The LVL truss carriers to span the door openings will be here tomorrow. Too bad the trusses aren't going to be here for another week. I am going to get 120 tons of sand dumped to get the grade up, should be here Wednesday

DuramaxPowered · Apr 16, 2010

looks nice... based upon your pictures I am think it is in a fixed location take a time lapsed shot. Can you get a few more a bit closer, like to see the posts... or just bigger pic I guess I could zoom in :spit:

DuramaxPowered · Apr 16, 2010

I'll take a few better shots. I've been taking pictures from the same 2nd story window :lol_hitti

Woo-hooo!!! Looking good!

We got the trusses set yesterday and roof purlins done today.

DuramaxPowered · Apr 24, 2010

We got all the wall purlins and the garage door headers put up today :bounce:

......there will be 2 Overhead doors, 1-12'Wx12'H, and 1-12'Wx13.5"H. I was going to get 2 12x12's, but ended up ordering a 13.5' tall one so I wouldn't be limited to what would fit in that bay. I'm very glad I switched to the taller one.

We put the final pieces of steel siding on yesterday. I still have to put the rear corner caps and ridge cap on. I took a picture before we got started yesterday and this morning. It's looks alot different from having sunlight vs. shade on the panels.

Here's a little better picture.........I'm excited :beer:

Dano5509 · May 18, 2010

Time for an update......... I've been quite busy the last couple of months with our new baby

........Barn progress has been slow, but we poured the ratwall just before 4th of July. I'm getting ready to pour the floor, hopefully by the end of August.

Love the colors, it would match our house.

DuramaxPowered · Aug 14, 2010

I picked the colors that I will use when I put new siding and an addition on my house.

NUTTSGT · Aug 14, 2010

The top color appears to be a Savanah Wicker and the bottom, clay ?

DuramaxPowered · Aug 14, 2010

Top is called "Sandstone", bottom is "Clay". here is the color chart http://www.jensenbridge.com/new files/Ultra/Ultra Color Chart.pdf

NUTTSGT · Aug 14, 2010

Looks like the same color (top color) just another name from a different company. Might because it's metal siding and not vinyl. I thought of doing my garage with metal but using a dark green for the bottom.

I do like the color though. I know Menards stock "Savanah Wicker" in the stores down here(Certainteed, I believe). You might want to keep that in mind when you go buy your siding. I actually bought our house siding (Wolverine triple three) from Carter, it was a special order.

Getting closer.....I'm hoping to have concrete poured very soon. I have a little more work and it's ready to be poured. So far 5 of the 7 loops are laid out. I couldn't follow the CAD designed tubing layout exactly, because of the location of the car hoist.

You are making good progress and it's looking great! Thanks for keeping us update on your progress.

DuramaxPowered · Sep 19, 2010

Looks like the floor is getting poured on Thursday!!!!! :beer:
