How to build a pole barn?

The utility and the durability of the pole barn are very good and hence many people would like to have a pole barn in their farm. It is easy to build it and it is also cheaper. You have to plan properly to build a good pole barn. Your plan should consider the fact that pole would go for every 2 to 10 feet. Make sure that the pole barn is not too tall. The length of the pole barn depends on the type of material that you are using whether it is wood or a metal. The distance between the poles could be small if you are using a material that would bend easily.

The depth of the pole should be at least 18″. The poles can be secured in the holes with some concrete. In more wet lands you might consider more depth for the poles. Truss the boards using the poles as the support. Truss each of the board in place and let it be firm. Then put on a roof. You can also construct a loft but make sure that is not that much high.
