Pole Barns
This page will take you through the process
of how we built this 26' x 45' work shop on the principal of pole barn
construction.
Materials used
Utility power poles @ $.50
per foot
I-beams, 10W used @ $1.00
per foot
Purlins, 4" UniStrut, New
surplus, @ $.50 per foot
Metal Roof, new Mueler,
$645
Insulation, new surplus,
purchased at auction, $75 total
PVC liner, new roll end,

This forklift was purchased at auction for
$1000. Couldn't have done all this work
without it. All work shown on these
pages was accomplished by one person.
Pole held in position while back filling the hole. All poles were set
5'-0"
into the ground.
Poles set and aligned
Trusses were built with 10W I-beam and full welds.

This is the method used to tie the pole to the truss. The pole tops were
cut at the same angle as the truss to create a flat resting point. Not
shown
are the through bolts used to connect the pole to the truss.
Pole and truss connector assembly. Through bolts not shown.
Even a slight wind can topple the building at this stage. Took precautions
to
ensure that all work was secure by tying one truss to another and applying
tension with two forklifts and a come-a-long.
A
4" X 4" L X 20'-0" was used to tie the trusses together and provide for
sidewall attachment. A 2" X 4" "C" channel was used as a girt to add more
stiffness to the
assembly.
New surplus 4" UniStrut is used for purlins.
