Dont Make These Mistakes When Planning Your Pole Barn

Avoid Certain Mistakes as You Plan Your Pole Barn

  • Mixing old with new 6′ x 6′ pieces of wood: You’ll need to avoid using old pieces of wood along with new ones. The new ones will warp and curve within a short time due to how they are situated with the old pieces.
  • Waiting too long to install trusses after putting posts in the ground: If you wait weeks to do this, you’ll not only lose momentum, but you might end up doing a rush job.
  • Not realizing how heavy and sturdy the trusses are with all the metal – trusses can weigh well over 300 pounds.
  • Not leveling enough ground for your pole barn – it needs to be a few feet past the perimeter of the barn.
  • Not using a good enough quality sealer for the concrete: It is supposed to self-level, but with a cheap sealer it won’t do that the same way. You probably should invest $100+ on this.
