Thank you!! I used GoPro’s. My time lapse settings were 4K | 1s I L. I believe that’s one picture per second, but I’m not sure. I played with the speed in daVinci resolve and sped it up quite a bit faster than it was recorded. I can’t remember the exact, but I think 400% (4 times faster) was the speed was added to the video in the timeline
Very nice Building, this crew really did a great job, just goes to show what can be accomplished in a few days working together, proud for you folks, always love to see a new building going up Good Luck!
Yes, sir! Despite less kids wanting to get into the trades, there’s still some good skilled hard workers out there. I think they did a great job too, glad to hear you liked the video. Thanks for commenting
Well that's great to hear!!! I'm 42 and the builder told me it should last outlast my natural lifetime. He claimed despite what others say, that building should be fine for at least 50 - 60+ years

Here are some scientific findings already posted out there on the WWW for rotting posts. 1. Posts lasts thousands of yrs under water (e.g., Venice Italy, wooden shipwrecks, etc..) 2. Post rot needs oxygen (not enough in water) to allow fungus and bacteria to grow and flourish on cellulose based materials. 3. Temps usually must be between 50°F and 90°F; the optimum is about 70°F to 85°F. Generally, wood below 35°F or above 100°F is safe from decay. e.g., Temps in arid desert environments will not allow fungus or water that feeds fungus to survive. Thus, posts last many yrs. in most desert environments. 4. Wood is like a wick; moisture will travel to dry areas where it keeps it from being saturated. 5. In wet environments, moisture and oxygen rich soil, abundant with fungi, needs to be out of contact with wood by multiple methods including: installing above ground, install a protective poly sleeve, surrounded by concrete or gravel, etc.… Final thought: Moist Soil is the flesh eating monster here Here is an enlightening experiment of treated wood in the ground. th-cam.com/video/_76EFrsKa_U/w-d-xo.html
Looks great, how do you feel about the post directly into the ground for such a nice building? I was thinking of doing the same but I would always think about them rotting out, any tips or tricks you did with this? I see the lower half is treated? Thanks!
Honestly, I don't know. The vast majority of my videos is me doing the work personally, but the construction and concrete for the pole barn was hired out. I did all the prep work / machine work, electric, and everything else, but kind of trusted the builder. After they were dropped in the ground, I started second-guessing it and wondering if there was some kind of preparation I should have had them do, but I talked to the builder about it just to see his opinion. It was built last year and I was 40. He just said don't worry this building will last your lifetime lol. I'm hoping it'll be OK, but I'm a little concerned. I did some googling and reading, and stumbled upon this below...
This is googles new AI conclusion, it was out of the top of the page and said based off of collected info... Treated wood posts in a pole barn can last more than 50 years without significant rot if they're in well-drained soil or sand and are properly treated. With proper maintenance and the right foundation, pole barns can last up to 100 years or more. However, some say the most commonly cited timeline is 40-60 years.
Well, I bought a house with a pole barn built in 1978....with treated poles put directly in the ground, no concrete. Last summer we wanted to pour a concrete floor and when we excavated to put in a compacted substrate, we found 70% of the Poles were badly rotted at the margin with the ground. Below and above ground they were fine. Took us a couple of weeks to replace poles 1 at a time. I think the problem ultimately was exposure to moisture and air, as that was the only place both elements touched the poles. Below and above ground the bad poles were solid.
@@sconnyite2104 Moisture travels through the boards end and goes up. It will rot where it is exposed to air and fungus at the ground level. The same think happens to 4x4s sitting directly on a concrete pier.
For everyone wondering, those posts will rot rather rapidly. The posts should’ve been poured onto a concrete sono tube to avoid rot and to provide structural stability.
The builder claimed that whatever the green bottoms were on the six by sixes would withstand being in the dirt 50 to 60 or more years. I'm not sure I believe that, but hoping for the best. They've been in the ground for 2 years and as of now look the exact same even when digging up some dirt around them to check.
If the posts are sitting on top of a sonotube then yes, they will last forever. But if they are set inside a tube and concrete poured around them, then they will rot out even faster than dirt. The dirt will st least let some moisture drain away.
They went down I believe 4 foot. Then dropped a free cast in Concrete round pad a couple inches thick with a 6 x 6 square hole in the middle. They dropped the 6 x 6 into that, poured one bag of concrete in the hole, then backfilled the rest with dirt.
I'm not sure the exact differences, but I thought this company was an Amish company because they are out of an Amish area. I did meet with the owner It was two years ago. He might've said he was Mennonite, but it's an Amish style pole barn. Or he just said they were Amish. I can't remember.
Thanks Ron. It was installed the last week of 2022, between Christmas and New Year’s. Been a little over a year and a half, and I’m very happy with it. The company info should be in the description, but it’s called extreme pole barns I believe they’re out of the Lancaster area
The way I did it was… I contacted a bigger, more known pole barn company. Explain to them everything I wanted and got a quote. Once I had more of the proper specs, I got rid of all the company information and pricing. Then just copied and pasted the main info to every pole barn company near my area requesting a quote. I don’t have any connection or affiliation with the guys that built this, but they were not only the least expensive, but also had the highest reviews of all the other inexpensive companies.
$42,500 was for everything shown in the video. Building structure put up and garage doors installed. Concrete, electric, and everything else needed was extra
Thank you, i’m really happy with it as well. I did all the land clearing and most of the before and after work myself, as shown in my other videos, but the building construction and concrete was subbed out. The building was $41,200, concrete was $22,500, and unfortunately had to bring in 42 tri axle loads of fill dirt for $10,500 to level the site
I found the answer in a comment, awesome building. Getting out of the army in a couple weeks and building something similar but much smaller on the family farm 👍
Good to hear. I’m not always the fastest to these comments lol. Thanks though! I think the buildings awesome as well, I’m 41 and it’s been pretty much a lifelong dream since a teenager have a shop area like this to work out of.
That’s awesome though! Wish I would’ve had it many years ago. Obviously found out that 6x6 was used, but good luck with your build. And most importantly, THANK YOU for serving 🫡 🇺🇸
That’s a good question. I do most of the work myself on my channel, but this was hired out to an Amish building company out of Lancaster PA. I believe the only difference is it’s built by the Amish. The pole barn post frame construction process is pretty universal I believe.
No vapor barrier under roof panels? Big mistake! My barn is more cooler and warmer with insulation and vapor barrier at first build than later on. 🇺🇸 Also, ran six (6) inch schedule 40 pvc pipe under floor for electrical, water, and/or propane lines for future use.
It's not necessary to do a vapor barrier on the ceiling for a building that will not be insulated. the primary purpose of a vapor barrier is to protect insulation from moisture, and without insulation, there is nothing to protect. I have no plans or extra money to insulate the building. So the only thing between my pole barn and the outside is the thin corrugated metal walls and roof.
If you live in a region with very high humidity or drastic temperature changes, a vapor barrier could be beneficial for an on insulated pole barn, but I haven't seen a drop of moisture or condensation anywhere in the building in the past two years. And I'm out there every morning for 3 to 4 hours, year-round
As far as electric and plumbing goes, I don't have water and don't plan on having water going to the pole barn, but I do have a full hundred amp panel with all 20 circuits full. Electrical wires were run right along with a two by fours. I don't plan on having any gas or water lines, but there wouldn't be any reason I couldn't just run them right along the walls like the electrical wiring since it will always be open never spray insulated

Moisture travels through the boards end and goes up.
It will rot where it is exposed to air and fungus at the ground level.

Do the post come pre made with the pressure treated on the bottom or do you sister them together yourself?
They come premade

whats the difference between a regular pole barn or post-frame building and an Amish one???
An Amish one is built by Amish people. These folks do not appear Amish to me
I'm not sure the exact differences, but I thought this company was an Amish company because they are out of an Amish area. I did meet with the owner It was two years ago. He might've said he was Mennonite, but it's an Amish style pole barn. Or he just said they were Amish. I can't remember.
@@BrandonStunts lol. What is an “Amish style pole barn”?
You guys did an amazing work how much was the labor for just the Fraiming work
Thank you. It was $42,500 for constructing the building and the man doors / garage doors. The concrete with additional.
@@BrandonStunts $42k for the structure AND the labor, or JUST the labor ?
How spaced apart are the boards on the side & top? Good work
The trusses on the roof are spaced 4 foot apart and the 6 x 6 posts are spaced 8 foot apart.
Sorry for the delay I must’ve missed this comment. Hopefully that answers your question, but if you were referring to something else, let me know.
The video is good, but the downside is that the video is fast and the music is noisy.
Thank you and thanks for the feedback. I’ll keep that in mind in the future.
