Koodos to Backwoods Buildings and Truss for donating that much to you guys. I hope some of the watchers reach out to them so they can get a return on it.
Dylan, I love seeing you Joking around with your father. Family matters more and more these days. Never lose an opportunity to tell you father how much you love him, and appreciate him for all his knowledge and help.
Witnessing you set a massive 30ft truss on your DIY pole barn is nothing short of awe-inspiring. Your meticulous work and dedication to this ambitious project are truly impressive. It’s a testament to your hard work and skill, turning a vision into reality with such precision. Thank you for letting us be a part of this incredible journey. And I am Floating Village Life, Hit follow and let's explore together!
Hats off too Backwoods Building for donating the pole barn too you guys.🙏🏻🙏🏻 and so inspiring watching you and your dad doing all them poles alone. Then you putting the trust up there by yourself👏👏👏👏👏 you and Molly are truly inspiring to watch how hard you guys work 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
You folks have youthful energy and can do anything to complete your barn build. It is nice to see the first truss installed on top of the posts. Blessings to you.
You just tackle it and it happens! So nice to have your Dad around for some support. Your attitude of not being a how to, but a how we did it video is great. It’s working perfectly for you. Well wishes for Molly-hope she is feeling ok😊
From salvaging, repainting, and selling a coffee table all the way to building your own new shop from the ground up… you guys have made your audience proud! Such amazing work. I cannot wait to see where your new brand “Proven Hands” takes you. The future is looking amazing for you guys!
I’m new to your channel and love your videos. Been watching alot of your past videos and am enjoying them. Loved hearing your testimony. My husband and I dont work well together on projects so you and Molly are a breath of fresh air! Well done!
13'6" is the most common semi trailers. There are 14'6" high cube semi trailers. However, the 14'6" trailer and semi uses smaller diameter tires to bring the height down to 13'6".
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻, looking great, our 30x60 pavillion ,steel truss on 10' spacing got engineer stamped for a 35#psf in SW Pennsylvania and passed inspection. We picked up a beam saw, since we bought a mill.....boy was that nice for cutting the 6x6 posts in one pass😊
Dylan and Riley do make a great pair, they both take the not so safe ways lol, Just remember guys what we do when we are young comes back to haunt us and our bidies later in life ......... believe me my 62 year old body can attest to that
I had just called them this morning before I watched this video Dylan. I’m not wanting a shop, but a 54’x80’ pole barn with lean to on both sides to do a roof over our mobile home to help with energy costs and will provide front, rear porches and a carport. Good Karma here. lol. Hope you guys are doing well
Love watching people how they build there pole barn I build pole barn for a living that’s why I keep saying stuff like that because it makes me nervous a little bit just trying to help you guys out
Glad you stated this was not a how to video, but how you did it. There are so many arm chair quarterbacks out there. If it meets your expectations and you are happy with the results, that’s all that really matters. Keep providing awesome videos.
Yer doing a great job!! Once the floor is poured you might want to think about getting some used warehouse racking from an auction. Set it up along a wall and get a forklift to store stuff above your shop machinery.
Me and my uncle built one of these. Putting the tin roof on was the hardest part because the tin was very slippery. You will need a harness, and since you are skinnier than me, it might be a bit easier for you. You'll also need shoes with rubber, grippy soles.
When using string, it is good to have something in between at the start and end so that it does not come into contact with anything else. Easy to accidentally push the string out or the friction causes the string to not be completely straight.
After much thought and consideration, and since hindsight is always better than foresight, I have reached the conclusion that it would have made more sense to assemble each truss at its intended location. 😀 18:57
*Flaming heck.... you be danged careful putting them trusses up... or doing any other high work. We do not want you getting injured, cos you have got a little baby coming. 🙂nz*
It is interesting to see the differences between how you are building your post and beam structure as compared to how @AmbitionStrikes built their "barndominium". Also, hearing about your wind rating requirements makes me wonder what the earthquake rating requirements here in California would do to the engineering, design, and costs of construction.
It might have been less troublesome to cut the horizontal braces to the outside dimension of the posts instead of the center. Can't mess up that way, if I understand the reason. 😊
Looking nice. I have a question in regards to the use of no post brackets. Is the engineers reasoning behind not using post brackets in the footings because no side walls will be built yet? I have seen larger buildings in tornado valley use the brackets instead of submerging the post in the footing with no issue. I just didn't know if the extra strength of having the framing for the side walls had anything to do with it.
Partially yes, but also areas with tornados don't have codes for sustained wind ratings like hurricane area do. Most of the US has a 90mph wind rating requirement. So it's not that we couldn't build it using those, it's just that our building department requires it to be built to 150mph. Even with it closed in, these brackets weren't enough either. The normal way of using wall girts wrapped around the posts would exceed the shear rating of the post and bracket. We will have to frame stud walls fastened into their own footings when we close it in. Pretty much everything I learned on TH-cam from the post frame guys wouldn't work for our area after speaking to a structural engineer unfortunately. Less than 30 minutes from our home the rating is 180mph and continues to go up into FL. It's pretty wild what has to be done to conform to that building standard. Most homes here have a continuous metal strap that goes from in the slab up the wall and over every truss or rafter.
You should’ve put a barrier between the wood and concrete when you build a structure if not the wood will decay quickly when it’s in concrete and the dampness that’s often present concrete can trap moisture against the wood can cuz it to rot
This is pretty much the only way they are built where we live. Not sure if our post treatment is different or if our soil just drains better, but this is the tried and true way of building here.
13'6" That is the maximum height allowed. Most trucks though will change the tire size from 24.5 inch tires and rims to 22.5 inch tires and rims to lower the truck down to 13'4"
I’ve been designing a pole barn and the steel truss manufacturer is saying a steel truss with 30 ft span is 300 lbs and a 36 ft span is 360 lbs. That 30 ft truss doesn’t look like it’s 300lbs in the video.
BIG MISTAKE. A string line when tight will ALWAYS be straight. A laser is a mechanical optical device. When was the last time you had it CALIBRATED? They should be re-calibrated yearly. There are 2 axis, X & Y. Set it up on a tripod that the top flange is very level (use a torpedo level), attach the laser loosely, turn it on & let it level. Set your receiver on grade about 75' away & keep it there (you could tywrap it to a post). Now go to the laser while it is still on & carefully turn it 180 degrees let it re-level. It should still be on grade at the receiver. Then turn it 90 degrees, repeat the process to check the other axis. IF the laser does not hit the receiver on grade out of all 4 windows IT NEEDS TO BE CALIBRATED. One more thing, the cheaper price you pay for a laser the more often it will need calibration. There may be a deadband setting on the receiver that you might check to see if it's on fine & not wider. Cheaper lasers have wider beam widths. Lasers are only as good as you maintain them. If you want to be precise use a water level.
I mean worst case scenario it’s a 1/4” over 48’ mistake. There is more variation in the material widths/crowning in purlins than that so we should be alight.
IMO ditch the laser level. It is a good tool to use, don't get me wrong. But, laser levels can fall out of calibration. Am I an expert about laser levels? No I am not. However, a tried and true method, and much less expensive is using a water level. Once you set the height you need from the reservoir, use the other end to mark your desired height on each and every pole. Just a thought. I know you are using what you have on hand, and that is what I do. I am enjoying this build series. Be safe and God Bless.
Koodos to Backwoods Buildings and Truss for donating that much to you guys. I hope some of the watchers reach out to them so they can get a return on it.
We hope so too! It was completely unexpected and we are incredibly grateful:)
@@WoodbrewY'all are incredibly cute 🥰
Yes, I can't imagine getting that size of personal donation. That's amazing!
Very generous of Backwoods Buildings & Truss!
How great is it to have your Dad there to help. Love the new project. So wonderful.
It really is! Very grateful:)

Thank you! It was a great feeling getting the first truss up there:)
Making great memories with your dad, I miss mine every day.
Congrats on 200k!!! Looking forward to seeing this project come to life!
You just tackle it and it happens! So nice to have your Dad around for some support. Your attitude of not being a how to, but a how we did it video is great. It’s working perfectly for you. Well wishes for Molly-hope she is feeling ok😊
It’s fun to watch this channel progress over the last 7 years. Slowly taking on bigger projects
Just amazing seeing a Son working with his Dad, great team work with Molly providing the encouragement. Your drive is awesome to watch. ❤️💙👏👏

Your manlift IDENTIFIES as an off road manlift!! 😂 That is the best part of the whole video!! Love your sense of humor!😂
that mud mixer is the only tool im jealous of, and you have so many tools i dont have..lol
35 minutes ago, that's one of the fastest times I've seen a new Woodbrew 😂 great way to start my day :D
So brave 😊 and creative.
You all are so wholesome.
I love how you explain everything. Itst a great help understanding
Glad it was helpful!

Came to you guys from Ambition Strikes and haven't regretted it. Good job!
It's very cool that pops helps you 2 out so much.

Dude wonderful job. That something I would have done in my younger age. Can’t wait to see it finished
Great job you guy's 👏

we built one of these at our bmx track last summer - with like 20 volunteers helping
Love watching people how they build there pole barn I build pole barn for a living that’s why I keep saying stuff like that because it makes me nervous a little bit just trying to help you guys out
Backwoods Building is the Bomb.
Looks great kids!! My truck at work is 13-7 have a great day!!
Loved watching

I was really relieved to see Mr Perfection not stress to much over the string vs laser ordeal. 😢😂😂
Love watching you guys do your thing!!
You should take a look at ambition strikes for any tips because they also built a barndeminium
It's definitely possible for your string to be sagging that much but you also need to pop the string to make sure it's not snagged on something.
Yer doing a great job!! Once the floor is poured you might want to think about getting some used warehouse racking from an auction. Set it up along a wall and get a forklift to store stuff above your shop machinery.
You can never go wrong by using a water level!!!!
Not sketchy at all, but, you survived, so, you got that going for you. Thanks for the video.
Wow awesome job brother. You got this.😊
Such amazing work up there. Great start. Take care, always!
Me and my uncle built one of these. Putting the tin roof on was the hardest part because the tin was very slippery. You will need a harness, and since you are skinnier than me, it might be a bit easier for you. You'll also need shoes with rubber, grippy soles.
It's Ginormous!!!

It’s getting there’s. It’s amazing how far apart the post/trusses can be where you are. Good job guys
Yea, with zero snow load you basically just need to support the roof materials:)
Awesome watching this series. Giving me ideas!!!
Random question- what boots are you wearing? Looks comfortable and I need some new work ones.
*Flaming heck.... you be danged careful putting them trusses up... or doing any other high work. We do not want you getting injured, cos you have got a little baby coming. 🙂nz*
Stay safe. You have a young wife and a baby on the way. They're going to want in their life more than a barn.
Your videos, need to be at least an hour each. I really enjoy them.👍👍👍
Enjoying the tractor dance😅 19:08
Love this channel
Happy you’re here!
Don't rember if you said, but why didn't you use sonotubes in the post holes? 😮

"Where there's a will...... there's relatives!" Was one of the quotes from my maths teacher at high school 😂
Extra change ALWAYS comes in handy when there's a little man on the way!
What are you planning on building in that shop, a new Space Shuttle?
You should’ve put a barrier between the wood and concrete when you build a structure if not the wood will decay quickly when it’s in concrete and the dampness that’s often present concrete can trap moisture against the wood can cuz it to rot

Nice dirt
13'6"
That is the maximum height allowed. Most trucks though will change the tire size from 24.5 inch tires and rims to 22.5 inch tires and rims to lower the truck down to 13'4"
why don't you treat the ends of the timber that are in the ground from rotting?
I’ve been designing a pole barn and the steel truss manufacturer is saying a steel truss with 30 ft span is 300 lbs and a 36 ft span is 360 lbs.
That 30 ft truss doesn’t look like it’s 300lbs in the video.
Scary.........😲❤
Cameras don't like looking at the sun.😊 6:32
Koodos to Backwoods Buildings and Truss
I am surprised you didn't call in Reckless Riley to help yet
❤️❤️❤️
hi woodbrew do you need thumbnail designer?
You should definitely change the name of your channel to Proven Hand.
8'6" wide x 13'6" tall x 75' long x 80,000 pounds max without permits.
Did you watch Ambition Strikes that put up trusses on a pole barn with husband and wife?
It's not the space shuttle!!! LOL. Why didn't you run the header boards, and use chainsaw to cut off the post?
Your not building a piano!!! That is what my papaw use to say. LOL
you lost the calm i loves

I was thinking the same thing. Most of the wonders of the world were built with string and other really "crude" measuring devices.

Gravity has an impact on the string line.
Florida man!
I wouldn’t stand underneath it! 🙄
Mildly sketchy!
Lol
Transit
put a mezzanine around the inside a la Chickanic
13.6 is the height of a semi
We are good to go then😅
That is the maximum height allowed.
Do you need thumbnail designer?
Sometimes you just gotta be a man…yep tractor it is 😂
Stop killing those nuts.
First
❤️❤️
Another heapin' helpin' of "dad gum's"!! 😕
You need to be careful with all this heavyweight equipment Molly you are pregnant
