Can you discuss how to make a pole barn more fire resistant. With the number of forest fires we have now this is important to many of us. Things to do and not to do. How to prevent embers from entering the soffits?
The Wildland-Urban Interface Code addresses the requirements for all structures. Leave no exposed wood members. Un-vented metal soffit panels. Insulate with roof slope so as to not require a vented attic space.
Use full rounds for post. A 8 inch full round takes over 6 hours to fail under its own weight at 1400F. A steel beam fails under it's own weight in 15 minutes at 1400F. Also if you have full rounds commercial code says you don't need fire suppression.
Astro buildings had a factory ripped 2x6,2 and 5/8 wide pre nailed at the factory.to make a super srtrong ell ...the one 2x3 being half the width of the pole shorter on both ends,than the other 2x3...all were 8 foot long exactly...and all poles were set to accept them perfectly.The building was plumbed and lined after the frame was up with 100 foot chais and ratchet straps..they were then left in place till all the metal was on.TRUSS to truss bookshelf system included "saddle brackets"nailed on with a single nail BEFORE the truuss was set.THE SADDLE brackets are now ungodly high priced,almost out-of-reach compared to other systems.

I'm confused, you're building this for your brother in-law and say that you don't like to pour the concrete till after the roof is on? So why is the concrete already poured in this case?
he must be in a low wind area...every year here in Missouri, someone puts the metal on the first with just poles holding up their trusses and the wind gets it!..THIS VID is thinking about having the ability to walk through the building during construction, which IS NOT THE CRITERIA l would use to decide the order of construction...
What's up with all the parts and pieces on your buildings? It's totally unnecessary sir, I am more than willing to show you the correct way to build pole buildings
actally,YOUR WALL STEEL IS A STRUCTURAL MEMBER!..it is a much stroger building once the metalis on !! even though the wind resistance has increased after its on....

More and more homes here in Montana are using non-vented roofs in order to prevent pulling embers in through the soffit.

Can I install 24ft 6/12 pitch attic trusses on top of a 24x30ft post frame building, instead of framing the roof?
Book shelves add about 20% area to thermal bridges....wood is approximately 1 R-factor per inch
Great advice I'm taking notes.
How do you frame splash plank so there is concrete lip on exterior of each post. Where concrete extends 1”-2” past post. Thanks in advance
Can you explain why one might want to have a concrete lip on the exterior of each post?
@@MikeThePoleBarnGuru I have seen this done before why I don’t know. I guess I spoke out of context. More or less just curious.

...how big is that building?
So informative. Thanks so much
Glad we could help!
Your saying pour the concrete after the roof but do you pour a “foundation” for the walls first?
On pole barns concrete is usually last. Poles are sunk in the ground past frost line. Foundation is different with these
The walls do not require a foundation as all loads are carried through columns to the ground.
Or pour your pad or foundation first and then bolt down your columns, then you won't have to worry about pole rot

I am not the builder is why.
all great info! I think these will help a lot of people ^_^
That's our aim! 🎯 The internet needs more pole barn videos. We love what you guys have been putting out on your channel as well!

How do you have a roof without walls ?

Move the sawhorses in front of you so we can see and show and explain in close detail what you're talking about...
Square the roof with the steel sheeting…

The steel is not going to hold your building together! If your posts are sized right, it should not sway!
