They came from Backwoods Buildings in Chipley Florida, but I think they purchase them from Surplus Salvage in Bonifay, FL. They sell complete Pole Barn kits. Hope that helps.
Hey guys! Just wanted to clarify Backwoods Buildings & Truss in Chipley Fl is a retailer of pole barn kits and installations but they are in fact the manufacturer of their metal trusses also. We have a truss manufacturing facility in Caryville/Bonifay FL where our DIY customers come to pick up materials. Great video!!
I'm not really sure what a dingo is but I do know he said he custom built that lift attachment! It was a fun process to watch...we were just starting TH-cam back then or I would have done a better job filming. Here's a playlist of the build to see how it looks now: th-cam.com/play/PLG5yS75HLzo2MCmO8M-IQXfvkv-ivvpAU.html
We have a 100x50 foot pole barn on our 14 acress property.. But it was once actually a forestry service building in the 40s.. the owner of this land bought it in the 60s took it apart and moved it to this land and rebuilt it himself.. Interestingly enough. the 8x8 posts are not in the ground. They sit on top of 2x10s on top of concrete blocks in the ground. Not even anchored mind you which is ODD.. but its held through how many hurricanes and wind for 60+ years. The beams in the barn are all 4x6 or 6x6 for the roof.. yes 4x6 and 6x6 for the roof beams lol.. Its interesting how it was built. the 50 foot span uses a 4x6 50 foot beam.. with 2x10s bolted to the center of the beam and then a giant metal bar bolted through that going to the roof beams.. So in essence the roof supports its own weight.. Its interesting seeing how cheaply new barns are made these days "no offense lol" using all pine soft wood.. and small boards, versus the gigantic solid oak beams mine has. Even my 2x4s for the roof are oak. I guess today that would be too expensive to build like this The prior owner who rebuilt this in the 60s did an amazing job, he built 6 horse stalls, with a slab on 1/4 of the barn, the middle 1/2 is three double doors, for storage for cars or farm equipment. Dirt floor though, and the last 1/4 section is a single double door, with a 4 inch slab 10 120v outlets, and a 50A and 25A 240v outlets. Also is insulated "as best as youd do for 1960 with foam and tar mats behind the dry wall. It also has water in the stalls and the workshop coming directly from the house itself 300 feet away..... I also have a drain in the floor on both slabs, and a 15 foot work bench made out of 4x6 oak posts i assume were scrap. I also have a cinterblock lined with tile chimney for a wood stove in the shop. The shop also has 6 huge windows that flip up for ventilation if i want So the building itself is 80 years old, or 60 if you count the rebuild. The tin roof leaks a little in spots, and needs some new sealent put on top. its leaking through the nails in the 2x4s and rotting them slowely. Im very grateful for that man for building such an amazing, still standing, barn, with evgerything one would want... Water, power, slabs with drains, and yea.. most guys with workshops i noticed dont have water, and dont have 240v power either. And lack of windows in many modern shops/barns is depressing. The man is now buried at the cemetary next to this property. We also have a 50x15 foot building, built in the 80s. Once used as dog kennle... water power insulated but it needs work.. I sold the cages and im tearing down those cinterblock walls for the like 15 cages it had going outside.. Not sure yet what ima do with the building, but those 15 cages outside are all on 4 inch concrete slab.. im thinking of building an addition to this building. If i do that itll make the building 50x30 in size
Modern buildings are engineered to wind loads in our region. Just because it's not built the same way doesn't mean it's not as strong or stronger than an older building. Sounds like you have a lot of nice spaces on your property!
The basic barn was about $14K. It has come a long way since this video. See our Pole Barn playlist here: th-cam.com/play/PLG5yS75HLzo2MCmO8M-IQXfvkv-ivvpAU.html
I'm building a similar building 40x60 and am worried about putting my trusses 10 feet on 6x6 . Are my purlins going to be able to hold longterm, with that type of spacing between each truss?
Ours are 12' apart and span 32'. That seems to be standard. If yours are 10' apart that's closer than ours and I think our building is rated to 140 mph. It's changed a lot since this video though. Here is the playlist of the complete build: th-cam.com/play/PLG5yS75HLzo2MCmO8M-IQXfvkv-ivvpAU.html
Are those concrete fast curing concrete? They look like regular concrete since they are in yellow bags instead of red, which are fast curing concrete that we put then dry in and water later. Some people say that the posts may move when we put dry in and water later since the concrete does not get evenly wet and they do not cure evenly. Of course, your builder said the other way. Not sure that was only they wanted to get the job done faster.
They dry set around here. I'd prefer a concrete truck with a wet mix, but nobody is going to build a pole barn that way. It doesn't matter on this build because we ran footers and a slab later in this video: th-cam.com/video/318GLu76PjU/w-d-xo.html
SR, Thanks for checking us out. You can see the lime buggy video in our Videos tab and we have Day 2 queued up ready to publish tomorrow. It was an interesting weekend. Thanks for watching. Brad&Deb
I'm not sure, but Backwoods Buildings (Chipley) built the barn and I think they build their own trusses. Surplus and Salvage in Chipley has trusses also. Thanks for watching. Brad&Deb
Nice video. I have a question ⁉️ trying to build a RV storage lot similar to this video for about 50 vehicles what size do you recommend for something like that. Also I need about 25 feet in height or is that too much for the bigger RVs? Any information would help thanks 🙏
I think the safest way to answer that is to go to an RV dealer with a tape measure and find out the height and width of the largest RV they sell. Then get with a reputable pole barn builder and figure out the right size to fit that.
Legal height for commercial vehicles before you need oversize permits is 13’6”. If your planning on overhead doors at each bay you will need to plan for an additional 2’ of headroom on your sidewalls for installation.
The land in front of the shed slopes up too much to bring the pole barn lean the whole 60'....it would have looked weird. It might make a little more sense after you watch this video: th-cam.com/video/PO8Iy68Ud1w/w-d-xo.html Thanks for watching. Brad&Deb
I hate to give you a number that's not relevant as I was getting quotes valid for only 7 days in 2020 due to the changing costs of lumber and sheet metal....and then the new Florida wind load codes in Jan 2021 bumped up the price even more for permitted structures. But the pole barn in this video in Feb 2021 was ~$15K. Thanks for watching. Brad&Deb
Are you talking about buying a kit and doing it yourself? We contracted with a local company to do it all based on our spec. It's a 32x60 main pole barn with a 16x48 lean. 12' tall with 6x6 posts in concrete wind loaded to 130 mph.
@@DeekJohnson Built by Backwood Sheds out of Chipley, FL. Travis is great guy to deal with and he subs out the install. I have no regrets going this route since I couldn't DIY.
The "Lean" must always be figured in even if it's to be done down the road, No matter how big the shop you need at least the same if not bigger for storage space.. Ask me how I know this.
Why didn’t they pour the holes with 4 inches of concrete let it harden over night then install the poles then pour you do not want the bottom poles in the dirt
What the heck are those supposed to be metal trusses? Know wonder why Florida has trouble everything blows apart it's built like a Chinese car, my garage is built like an Amish barn I could park my car on it
Only lazy people or ones that don't know what they're doing need to worry about someone watching them work. Plus, he's the boss, he hired them with his money, so he dang sure has EVERY right to watch their work. Maybe even a duty to watch them.
