really love your vids. i hope you guys start putting your content onto rumble again as theres a lot of people, including myself, that are trying to migrate over
The lessons learned are my favorite part. Is much appreciated, am also going to buy a mud mixer since I can't get a truck close enough to the pad during rainy season. It will do a yard of bagged premix per hour. Not sure if the operator (me) can keep up with that pace but hope to do a side of piers each day.
I bought a mud mixer with the hopper extension. We are building a 60'x80' post frame ag barn. Full concrete floor so that will be poured by trucks but the piers are all mine!
I love your videos. You and your wife do a fantastic job of making things sound so straightforward and simple. Hopefully at some point I get the courage to build one myself.
Paul, Thanks for answering “how far out of the ground should piers be”. I have another- “what is a good, budget friendly rotary laser I can get for layout without breaking the bank”. Thanks!
“Slab on grade” with poured piers. I understand going down below frost line completely. The part that isn’t resonating with me is the frost heave associated with the slab after the pier. Won’t the frost move the slab move and cause fractures in the finished floor? Also, I noticed that you haven’t used any EPS or XPS insulation under the slab or around the exterior to prevent thermal transfer onto the concrete. I’ll be starting the foundation work this spring. Do you recommend piers AND a thickened edge, turn down slab OR…. Everything I had imagined I needed to do is all discombobulated now lmao…. Love the details and depth and I will be contacting you for the proper materials once I get my head wrapped around the “what”!
I'm on rock. When I built my house it was excavated with a 320 CAT. He used a Ripper tooth to get through the shale. Fortunately he only hit granite on the frost wall for the walkout and one pier for my deck. IfI build a Post Frame building, it will likely be slab on grade wit dry set brackets. The little soil we have is extremely granular and doesn't hold water so there is no movement from frost.
So what depth is the minimum for a pillar? I live in Tennessee and our frost line is only 12 inch so that's not a problem. Thinking about going with steel trusses so I can add a upstairs room for the kids. Any troubles to worry about 10 foot center and thinking about getting 10x10 oak post with dry sets.
Paul thank you for the video,lots great info.I asked this before in another video,maybe you missed it.If my building is going to be 40" wide and my truss is 40" wide why does the bracket get set back 1-1/2" My simple mind says they should be placed same width trusses and columns at 40'
We set the bracket and column 1 1/2” back because we add a 2x6 girt to the outside. Not sure if that makes sense? That girt is laid flat against the columns and adds 1 1/2” to the dimension on each side.
Another great video. We are on the fence btw two builders. One uses wet set bracket and the other uses the perma column precast pier. Any cons with the precast pier over the wetset?
I’d use the pre-cast Perma-columns all day. The only reason I don’t is because I have access to concrete and I like building my walls on the ground and then lifting them. I can’t do that with the Perma-columns. However I’m going to build a structure on my property with them. If it was a struggle to get concrete I’d use them all day with no worries.
Great video! obviously this question is relative to the number of piers you have, but how long after pouring do you typically have to place your wet set brackets?
I’ll add one.. watch out for those sheet metal screws that are in the sonotubes.. I can’t even count the number of times I poked my damn finger tips on those while trying to adjust them. 😂
I know this likely requires a Structural Engineer, possible Seismic Engineer and possible geologist, but we are subject to high or extreme winds, Earthquakes, so seems like to me a Permacollum set deeper in concrete may provide more stability in high or extreme winds plus other seismic and tornado reinforcements.
I was the 100th like. Are the post and brackets a pretty standard size across America or do the different companies that make them all make them different sizes?

Midwest Perma-columns is also a great option if you can't get concrete in your area. Have you looked into those?

I appreciate the video,...It gives me more confidence in completing the piers. Left you a message on your website regarding Design work.
Very good information Paul, thanks!

Thanks, you can do it
Thanks Paul. All good info!
Great video, very helpful. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for sharing! 👌👍
Really great video
I really love and enjoy your video...I learn a lot. Thank you. I will build mine one day :)
Thanks…go for it!

I love the dry set brackets and great experience building The Remington series with them. Great that you won’t have any frost problems.
Excellent vid.
Thanks
Thanks!
Wow, thanks!
Great tips! What type of rock is best to spread before building? Can I use 1-inch rock? It's the cheapest in my area, and 57 rock is more expensive.
Nice video bro
Thanks
Do you need to pour for footings if you have piers poured roughly 4 feet deep?

I noticed you don't put any rebar in your concrete columns, are they not needed?

Honestly it depends on heat, humidity, etc... In the summer, sometimes were scrambling to get the brackets set.
Is there video of the lime stone build or at least video of how you did the foundation?

Yes!

Yes, many factors - soil, weather, natural disasters. I'm amazed just how strong these buildings are once you get them all locked together with metal.
Very informative! Do you have plans that I can purchase for a 30x40x12 pole barn?
Email us at design@mrpostframe.com and we can get you set up with some plans based on your needs.
@@MrPostFrame sent you an email
Is there any builders you could refer me to out in Southern California, Riverside County?
I was the 100th like. Are the post and brackets a pretty standard size across America or do the different companies that make them all make them different sizes?
Pretty standard…I have my columns planed so they are nice and even. So they’ll be a little smaller.
