Sawmill shed...what size to build?

In this video we talk a closer look at our completed sawmill shed, and try to answer some of the most asked questions about its construction! You can find our original build slideshow here: • B&B Farms sawmill project

Thank you so much for the video. Wasn’t expecting it so quickly. But thanks again.

You're welcome!

Bingo! Thanks so much! Exactly what I was hoping to learn. With that, I can move forward. Mine similar, 10 ft x 26 ft roof 12 ft metal roof. I'm in deep snow country so will have to box in the mill head area. My wife from KY knows poplar. We here have hemlock, white pine and spruce. I'm going with the 20 foot LVL opening. You have a good looking shed ... thanks! Look forward to more of your knowledge/experience.

Good video I’m in the process of sawing the lumber for my mill shed thanks for the tour 👍

[@bbfarmsmaple8011]

Thanks, good luck with your build!

I particullarly like the black and copper color combination and the LVL beam wide opening. Perfect size for what your purpose. It always makes a project more special knowing that you personal logged and milled the lumber used.

Thanks John... Becky's the one with the designer's eyes, I should know by now to just trust her vision!!

Thank you for commenting, glad you liked the shed!

[@nathanfulford8376]

would love to see you use the lumber you milled yourself on some other builds in the future!

[@bbfarmsmaple8011]

Stay tuned, projects starting shortly!

Here in Western Il. I would need more of your back side enclosed (would be North facing in my case to block winter winds & snow). But I'm still saving for my own mill. And I only have 1 acre atm too.

[@bbfarmsmaple8011]

It will be worth the wait, hang in there, you'll get that new mill!!

[@jameslogan7648]
