Just about done barn

60x80 pole barn

Nice build...
Need more photos when you finish...
Did you build it yourself or contract?
How was the county to deal with?
Was a permit required?

I had no issues with the town. The building inspector asked me to make sure I used a 2x2 cement footing and attach each post with a cable in case of extreme uplift. No other issues. It is 39x60 with 17 foot ceilings. I plan to put in 14x14 doors next spring. Cement floor coming in a few weeks. I will also add a 36" passenger walk thru door. Next year a car lift as well I hope! I did build it myself with the help of my teenagers and friends. Yes I did get a permit that cost about $500!:dance1::laughing:

That's a nice size building. Should be very useful. Teenagers with a car lift--heaven I bet.

High ceilings, tall doors, a concrete floor, and a car lift. You can't go wrong with that.

Very nice! What kind of wood did you use for the siding?

 

[gusman2]

I used 12" ship lap from a local saw mill. 6x6 x20' posts 8 ft on center. Went up well as long as I kept them straight

Just put floor in. 4" 4000 pat with steel.

So free labor. What did the materials run you? Nice looking barn. I like the soffit details.

Ok, 5 grand in the floor. How about the barn itself? How much will the doors cost also?

I would have thought it would have required 58.6 yards of cement to pour that floor. What am I missing?

You beat me-either its not 60 x 80 or if it is, and you used 37 cu yards of "concrete", your floor is 2.49" thick.

Rollerball rink with teenagers. Paint some lines and make some pvc goal nets.

It's 40 by sixty, not 80. The floor is 5+ inches thick on average.

Says is is 39 x 60

 

[travlitt]

First post said 60x80
3rd post said 39x60
That would make a lot of difference in the amount of cement it would take to pour the floor.

Okay-much better-and 5+ inches is better than 4-with those high doors and that length, I had visions of some pretty heavy trucks going in that barn
