Love the format...love your helpers breakdown too. Love the bloopers. Added music in some places but none in others worked well for me. Good instruction, demonstration, and real life construction. ❤
Yes I use the 3½ inch nails for everything. I usually put around 3 in the splice and 4 in the middle for girts. On purlins I usually just do 2 everywhere (because it's every 4 ft) except on the bottom purlin and the gable truss I do 3 for wind protection. That seems to be where the nails start pulling out in windy situations. I have never had an issue with that nail pattern but have fixed a few where the builder used shorter and fewer nails.
Sorry about that. I do have videos of an entire build step by step. I had a professional camera crew out on site for that one. They are still editing them. Hopefully I can get them on here soon.

Thanks. I wanna get more in depth. But to be honest I don't like slowing down.
Nice job!!!!!
Thanks
I'm getting ready to build one of these. Liked the spacer board idea to place your girts.
Awesome. Should hopefully have my more in depth videos up before too long. The spacer makes it easy to do it by yourself.
How many nails per connection? 3-20 penny ring shank on the girts? How many on the purlins?

Thank you the reply. Is this an engineered spec? Are your building plans engineered?
I'm planning a 30x50 build myself. What size are your posts? and how deep in the ground are they?
Awesome. They are 3 ply 2x6 gluelam posts. They are 4 to 5 feet in the ground.
depends on frostline,3 feet in missouri,they will settle if you dont put a concrete cookie or pour 3 incghes of concrete in the hole!l had it happen,
i hope you're going to video this build step by step. It also wouldn't hurt to tell us WHY you're doing things as you do them
