My friend is thinking of puting up a small poll barn. I've seen a few talks on poll barns here. Would it be possible for some one to put a few pictures of a poll barn on , close up shots if possible to give me and idea on how to start the building of such, so as I will start correctly, thanks

I have built several pole barns. The last two I have built I used regular siding and put shingles on the roof. They look like a regular buildings then. It is a little more expensive than with sheet metal skin, but I think they look a lot better. One is 28' x 40' (looks like a barn) and the other is 24' x 32' (looks like the old chicken coops with windows up in a vertical section on the roof). Roger

Have you checked with your local ag extension office? Most of them have plans for free.

When my Dad built his pole barn, he poured a cement floor with footings around the edge. Then anchored the poles on top of the floor with "L" brackets. I thought a good idea.
Re spelling and the use of English. In a class in college I was tought that if you were able to convey the thought you were trying to convey, that was "effective communication". I prefer to follow that line of thinking, as I desire to find things in common with others, not differences. Also, anyone ever heard the saying "It's better to strike a hard blow with a crooked stick, than to spend the rest of your life trying to straighten the stick". Only my thoughts.

How many are in favor of a poll barn, how many oppose it, and how many are undecided?

GA Dave has offered me some of his old well for post holes. Unfortunately, clay post holes are not what I am looking for. I reviewed his post (so pun intended) and I am sure he has more than enough of his old well than you could use. If you review this, folks have offered some shipping methods. If you use UPS, I suggest you "Driver Release" them, so the UPS driver won"t have to make more than one trip to your place in case you weren"t home. Oh, say, I seem to remember that my uncle would sprinkle some flour on the fresh cuts and thus the blood would clot faster - this will keep the polled posts from leaking out so much and you will not have such a mess on your flooring. Hope this tip helps [HTTH]. Keep us posted.

I have a book on pole building construction that'd probably be just what you need. Don't remember where I got it, I think through an ad in the Mother Earth News magazine maybe?

Anyway, try searching amazon or even ebay for pole building construction and I'd bet you can find a copy.

you need to go to a lumber yard and they will draw some things for you and advise you of the building codes roof strength for stress load and so forth cause if you dont do it rite the wind could take it away or the snow will tear the roof down.

Never heard of a poll barn, but i have heard of pole barns. A poll is where you ask a number of people what they think about some thing. And a pole is used to support things

No, I believe a barn with no horns would be a polled barn. :)

Early on, I learned that I did not want to be the spelling and grammar police on this site. I just read and smile and understand the meaning...although, just the other day, there was a two line thing on here with 22 errors in it!! That gave me a double smile :-) :-)

Tom: Those of us who farmed all our lives have long since learned to excuse poll in place of pole or vice versa. About 1960 we got both pole barns and polled herefords. That one did cause a fair bit of confusion for some years.

The real confusion erupted when we couldn't decide whether the polled hereford or the politician filled the manure spreader.

Years ago here in Canada, our then Prime Minister visited a plowing match. All public address communication for plowing match had been done at ground level. It was felt the Prime minister should have a platform, thus one of the equipment exhibitors volunteered a manure spreader. The Prime Minister started by saying this was the first time he had ever addressed an audience from a manure spreader. A voice in the back yelled," Lester and this is the spreader's first load of manure."

Tom...I know what you mean. Being an ex-advertising copywriter (where proofreading was a daily need), you can imagine how I wince at some of the grammar and spelling I see. But I, like you, just smile and try to get the meaning. After all, this is a tractor site, not an English class.

I almost called a TV station in Milwaukee the other night, however. One of their bright, new reporters said something like, "Him and his wife were under investigation." What are they teaching in J-schools today? There"s no excuse for that. David
