It's taken a while but finally started the new barn. It's 56x72 with 16' high walls. 2 - 14h x 16w overhead doors. This year is just the structure. Next year I'm planning on doing the electric, bathroom and concrete.

Main use will be storage but some tinkering on equipment.

I'm actually looking to have it moved off to the side. Will redo the service to the house at the same time and add a backup generator as we lose power often here.

Ya, great build...but the pole has to go. Off to the side sounds just about right.

I leveled the site and ran all the drainage last year. We poured the piers April 26th and have been working on it as time allows between farming, work and weather.

What an AWESOME BUILD, that looks amazing.

I am planning a 30 x 40 ft barn, from poles and steel - hopefully next year. It will house chickens, rabbits, a horse, feed, supplies and equipment. Need to save, and sell a few vehicles first though.

No pictures as it got too dark but barn is done other than clean up and the overhead doors. They're ordered but looking at a couple months before they arrive.

Nice choice of colors. It's a great looking building. What are you going to do for the floor?

I just sigh...... Such a beautiful and useful structure. I have covered storage but it's all carport stalls. A question Robert - what is the black band around the base of the barn?
