Pole BarnBy: Caleb VanderWal

Step 1

Mix cement Dig hole at least 24” into the ground Poor cement in ground with poles Wait 2-3 days (if you don’t wait that

long you run risk of the whole barn getting knocked down)

Step 2

Even out the heights of the boards Use a laser level to mark off the tops

at the same height

Step 3

Place the horizontal post beams Cut notches into the board to make

putting them on easier. Hardest of the beams to put up Use your level to make sure they are

level to the ground Secure with screws to make sure

they are stable

Step 4

Build the trusts Need a board that runs parallel to the

ground and two additional boards that meet in the center at an angle

Measure the board to fit the board in step three and then choose the angle at which you want the board

Put notches into the boards on step 3 where you want your trusts laying.

Step 5

Add additional beams for support Theses will be your support for your

roof Be sure to use a level to make sure

they are perpendicular to the boards they are close to

At least one additional board should be placed on each section

Step 6

Add the sidings Take your ply-wood and cut it to size Nail it to the support boards on the

outside edge

Step 7

Add the roof If it is metal you will need to cut

them to fit Install them by taping the screws in

over the struts.
