My wife and I just finished building our home a couple of manths ago here in upstate NY. We are looking to build a large barn one of these years for horses and boarding etc. As a first step (mainly due to cost) we would like to build a small two stall pole barn that we can eventually turn into Hay storage when we build our larger barn in a couple of years.

My questions are about the beginning construction and floor slab. I have a good amount of "weekend warrior" ability and have built a couple small sheds in the past. I have been looking on the net for a page that has some great info but can't find one. Most seem to just want to charge for blueprints. I just need some good info to get going and finish off my plans.

Thanks in advance for the help...

If there is a Menards in your area, they have a free booklet on building pole buildings that is can be very helpful.

Try this site here. They have a lot of different plans for barns, sheds, etc. I hope the link works.

The plan are not complete but give you enough information to build. It seems to be a good site.

I bought a book called Pole Barn Projects. The author is Monte Burch. I built this 24 X 27 pole barn with no previous experience. I also built this log cabin just reading books and applying what little common sense I have. Read, study, understand and then dig in. Don't be ashamed to ask questions, even if they seem trivial to you. There is a wealth of knowledge right here on TBN, and everyone seems more than happy to help.

Thank you for your service to our country.

Just wanted to add that if you don't have Menards in your area I can stop by one over here to see if they still have the book which I could then snail-mail to you.
