What did you go with for the bench top?

Great video. Lots of helpers!

Am surprised no bracing on posts, especially lifting those massive roof sections.

You flatlanders have it so easy.. just putting buildings wherever it’s convenient to have one.

1/8" steel. Still waiting for it.

I'll admit it was a little scary. While it made it easier doing much of the work on the ground I would not do it that way again.

Watching your video, I was really impressed by the size of your posts!!!! That was a lot of work.

Just saw this thread, nice build. A bigger door and you could work on 747’s in there.

Thanks Eddie,
I could have used 6X6 posts but I sleep better knowing I have 6X8 posts.

Did you pour footers under the poles? Or use premade concrete ones? We’re the poles concreted in place to hold them without bracing?

I put some sacrete under each post then filled the holes with sacrete with a hose going. My boys added the concrete while I leveled the post while making sure it was up against the string line. Not very scientific but it works.

I finally got the lights done in the barn. Each light is 18,000 lumens with 14 in the main area. I still need some plugs and lights over the work bench and the electrical work will be done for the most part.
They are very bright and I'm happy with them.

LED high bays? Are they dimmable?

I forget the name of them but they are LED. As far as I know they are not dimmable. That's no problem because I wouldn't dim them anyway.
I ordered them off Amazon and had them in 2 days.

Amazing barn build, and beautiful property. I can't see more than 20' out of my doors except forest, which is pretty in its own way.
Where do you all shoot around there? I was envisioning a range behind your barn.
Take care and be in good health, thanks for sharing.

Here is a short video of our barn build. Credit to my son Jordan for doing it.

This video popped up on my Youtube feed a few days ago. Too funny!

I have miles of National Forest just behind my house and I can shoot all I want. No need to load wheelers or side by side up just drive it right from the house.

Seems like it's taken forever but I got the metal top done for the work bench. Now I can work on some more plugs and work bench lighting.

whoa, nice video to help understand the building assembly process. You had a lot of good helpers!!

Got some more stuff done and tools ready to use. Fridge is ordered.
