Thanks a lot guys!!!!! I don't post a lot....but do like to learn. I read a lot on here.....I feel information is power. Again, I'm only 21...but I like the construction trade(am going to college to be an engineer though)......it helps me make ends meat while in school, as I'm picky and kinda quick. Anyways, thanks for all of the help guys....I appreciate it, very much so!!!

Thanks again,

Hey guys, I've got a few other questions.....just as a matter of opinion(crossing your's with another local guy's). In the 2x6's that run around the building, connecting the poles and allowing the tin to be screwed to.....how many pole barns do you put in each pole?? Next, do you even need to use pole barns all the time, or can a nail gun be used some?? And finally, about the steel.....where the walls come up to the top, and the roof comes down and meets it(or goes over it).....is there flashing or anything you put there?? We don't plan on putting in gutters....so just wondering what keeps the water out. Also, in this area.....about how far do you guys usually let your roof steel overhang(this guy said about 1.5 inches).???

Thanks guys,
Brad

If you want to see how to put up a barn, serch for a post "steel going up" and look at how it should be done.....

So you're not going to put the 2x6's in between? You'll have to use 2x nailers on the inside then for the liner steel. So now your walls will be 8 1/2" thick instead of 5 1/2", and you'll use twice as much wood than is needed. But if that's what you want to do.Or aren't you going to insulate and heat it now?

It's called different things..... Eave flashing or gutter apron are two that come to mind. For the junction between wall & roof that is.

1.5 inches is good.

Ya' know Brad, you really just need to get to the lumberyard and pick up a brochure on pole shed construction. Having things illustrated by typing through the internet just ain't gonna cut it!!!

Ok, promise I'm done.....I'll get to the lumberyard, tomorrow if I find time.

Not sure what route I want to go with on the nailers yet......we kinda need the extra thickness....to allow for us to set posts outside an existing concrete slab...and still have the inside be over the crete a ways.......we are still insulating too......so I don't know what is the plan quite yet...so many different routes out there!!!

Thanks for everyone's help!!
