  • Just look at the pole barn plans that are available on internet.  
    Most of plans look like they were drawn by architects who
    own lumber yards or logging mills.

  • Do you really want to pay for and cut all those boards?  
    Maximize the barn's size and minimize the labor and waste.

  • After building barns on-site for 28 years, I've got a story to
    tell.  I'd like to share with you shortcuts, secrets, and
    suggestions to help reduce your headaches, busted fingers,
    and building time.

  • Since very few barns are the same in style and each sloping
    site is unique, I have also included numerous photos to
    suggest ideas that may help you in the designing stage.  

  • Individual needs and preferences vary greatly, so this guide
    sets out to provide basic information on how to construct my
    standard pole barn.  

  • Modifications in design are simply an extension or contraction
    of the basic plan.  
Let's Build a Pole Barn includes color photos of 35 different style
pole barns, plus framing views and interior photos of some units.

Plans and architectural drawings are not included in the book.      
 
Let's Build a Pole Barn shows you how to frame a unit and how
to put on metal sheathing.

Along the way, I've tried to give you the suggestions, secrets, and
shortcuts that I've learned from 28 years with hammers, chain
saws, and screw guns in my hands.
The units are totally wood framed and each is built essentially
the same way, whether it's a pump house or a raised center-
section horse barn.

I’m not an architect or structural engineer, just a builder who’s
been successfully building barns for almost three decades.

Texas and southern states has been the focus of most of my
barn-building activity.  My framing system is best suited to
southern states and warmer climates.
Also a special 3-page section on a Country Carport is included in the
Let's Build a Pole Barn e-guide.  This attractive, easy-to-build open
cover and can be used in so many ways.   A material list, framing and
roofing dimensions, pictures, and suggestions can help you get started.
