I've been watching many pole barn vids and honestly, I'm impressed to watch you've accomplished as a one man band. So kudos to you sir....love the old Ford too. Hope it's a 300 inline

Great series! I just watched it from beginning to end, Ill be revisiting your videos come spring when I start to build mine. Thank you for making these videos!

Even nine years later . This series is on point. I appreciate the time you spent documenting this series I hope your still building and doing well in 2023 .

Watched all 8 videos. Plain-spoken and easy to understand. Outstanding detail. I am a man of moderate construction ability and this has reminded me I can do this sort of work, and have before in my young life. If I take my time and plan ahead I'll be fine. Thanks for restoring the confidence in myself.

Love the “out takes” at the end. Great video series!!

I thought I heard a Tn. accent on your videos. We have a little farm just east of Knoxville. I've been doing landscaping and tree work for the past year but we haven't worked in over a week now with all this weather. I'm so dang tired of wet weather I cant wait for spring to get to building and planting. Glad I found your site, you do good work.

This is great! You’re a natural teacher. No b.s.

so I am one of the faithful...I watched every part of the process......I grew up in a construction family and I know a good deal about building, that being said, I really learned a lot about building a pole barn and want to thank you for all the detail you put into the video....its been a big help and the last part about cost,and afterthoughts was SUPER helpful....thank you for doing this video series !!!!

Awesome, awesome, awesome video series. This is a great bit of education for me, as I am not a construction guy by trade. The amount of work you've put into these videos (and other material) is incredibly valuable to me. Big thanks to you!

Just finished all the videos. You done good brotha

Your videos are great! No BS, no wasting time, just quality tutorials. Thanks for doing these and thank you for your service to our country as well! I've been watching your videos for the last two hours and plan on watching all of them

Best serious on KZfaq in my personal opinion. Excellent job done.

Just found your site and watched all 8 videos. Really enjoyed. Thanks for the info and most importantly the cost figure at the end. So many people do not do that. Just awesome. Thanks

I don't see how anything could be any better. Awesome job from start to finish. It would probably take me longer on sketch up to draw the building than it did you to actually build it. First class all the way!

I have now watched this series about 4 times total.. And I always pickup something I missed. Thanks Feddie !

Thank you for making this series and sharing your work. I watched this again and again before starting my barn in November of 2022. I hope to finish by Nov 2023. A lot of head scratching like you mentioned. It’s been a great reference and inspiration.

you gave me the courage to build my own 24x32 shop, thanks for these detailed videos all I have left is to put tin on .

What a FANTASTIC video series! Oh my GAWD you went above and beyond - better than a Home Depot book. We are looking for basic (BASIC) building information to start a homestead and your videos have been the best by far. Thank you so much for your time and dedication and patience in making these videos. Just one question: What kind of nail gun was that? It looked awful heavy! Electric?

Nine years ago ????? Awesome project. Hope you are doing well my friend. It’s July 2023 and I’m just seeing your how to build a pole barn. Very inspirational and well done. Thanks, Jerry

It's always a pleasure to see a fellow "southern man" rise to the occasion and help his "fellow man". This pole barn series you put together has opened my eyes wide open about what to expect when I build mine this summer. Thank you very much "suh"!

Thanks for the time you spent on detail, as a carpenter myself I think you did a great job for DIYers. I even picked up few pointers myself. great job

Feddie, I know this video series is old news but I just recently found it. Brother this series was awesome!

You put in a crap load of work outside of the actual building process...very much appreciated.

The most detailed video series I have seen on building a pole barn. Awesome!

Stone Cold Steve Austin showing me how to make a pole barn? Uhm, hells yes. Just watched all of em, great job man.

I am no internet expert, but I thought you did an excellent job! Watched this series twice.

I’m 71, retired carpenter. But, I still pound a hammer, lol. This guy is is good, very smart and gives awesome practical advice!

Watched the whole pole barn series. Really appreciate your attention to the details, the camera work, and the mock-up you took the time to make. Subscribed.

Thanks for taking the time to break it all down! Helps us little guys a lot

Excellent series of videos. I actually have to say I'm sorry to see your building complete to where there won't be any more in the series. This series should answer any questions anyone would have that was curious about building their own. Thanks for the time and details you included to make these. Great job!

This series was awesome, your down home approach is just plain easy and fun to watch, and the fact that you actually respond to every comment (given the large number of comments) is unheard of. Thanks a ton for your efforts!

I have built a house and various other buildings, but never a pole shed of any sort. Very informative - awesome job!!

This series is impressive. You should be as proud of the videos as you are of the pole barn. The wrap up video to look at everything in retrospect is a great idea and really helpful.

If you remember, I placed a comment early on in this series of videos. At that time I thought your videos and work were fantastic. You never let me down. All the videos from part 1 through part 8 were all encompassing with valuable information throughout each episode. I'm sure I will never build a poll barn. At 71 it's a little late for me to do that kind of work but I do plan to build a storage building for my 4-wheeler and trailer. Probably 12X12 or 12X14 and the ideas and techniques I've learned by watching your series of videos will really pay off. Thank you so much for taking the time to help everyone who aspires to build any structure.

Awesome video series! If this doesn't help out any diy barn builders... nothing will. Thanks for the information.

I've always said there's nothing you can't do if you put your mind to it........Very well done ...GOO JOB!!!!!

I am in the process of planning a 30x30 pole barn myself and have been searching the internet to get ideas on the total process. Not too many none company people take the time or make the effort showing others the beginning steps to the finished product in which they went about planning and carrying out the building process like you have done and like you I don't want to hire someone else to do the building process; I want to do it. I personally want to thank you for taking the time for documenting then sharing your project and techniques in all 8 of your videos which I am downloading as I type. Your videos have answered a great deal of questions I had from the first step to the last. The only draw back I will have in my own project is that I am a truck driver on the road for a good bit of time but after seeing your videos I now know how I can have a good quality pole barn just doing a little at a time; step by step paying attention to detail. You would make a very good Instructor or Teacher. I have spoken to salesmen in my area about purchasing a pole barn kit and they all tell me I need a concrete pad but I believe that a gravel pad will work better for me and save me money. Question: I noticed you didn't do a concrete pad; to save money or just didn't want one? Thank you again.

I watched the whole 8-part series of this project. The meticulousness and the clean organization of the project (video presentation/editing and actual implementation) are very impressive. More power to you. Looking forward to your own TV show later on at the DIY network.

I cannot commend you enough for this series, it is incredible. The idea of taking on the barn project alone is awesome, but then to film it, edit it and build learning peripherals is just amazing. Thank you so much, this gives me a great view of my barn that I am about to begin, except now I see it with eyes wide open. Incredible job!!

Fabulous video, full of tips and knowledge. I am about to build a pole barn, and have searched vigorously on a Complete start to finish video and detailed instructions, cost, etc; Thanks, I enjoyed it, and I learned from your explanations without leaving crucial details for one to figure out, on their own.

All I can say is WOW! Definitely the best pole barn building video I've ever seen. You got my thumbs up. The addition materials list and spreadsheet work you have done is exceptional. I have alway wanted to build my own barn and now feel confident (with your video) that I am capable. Great work and Thanks.

Feddie- I wish I had had this instruction about 10 yrs ago. I built a barn for a lady back then and I really thought I was gonna lose it from thinking/worrying about all the little details that kept jumping up to bite me, not to mention all the sleep I lost. I'd wake up at 3 or 4 in the morning and the brain would engage on the details of this project & I just could not go back to sleep. This is a fantastic series and I enjoyed it immensely. The side comments are entertaining, I guess because a lot of it is exactly what I would say. Oh- one thing I might do differently is pour concrete pilings in sonotubes, set some brackets in them and then bolt my posts to that. I read some of the comments on the posts rotting and that change might help with that. Keep up the great work and Semper Fi.

I just watched 1 - 8 on your Pole Barn videos...WOW! I don't know of anyone that is as informative as you my friend. I couldn't stop watching and listening, you just had so much detail I didn't want to miss! My wife thinks I pay too much attention to detail, wait till she watches one of your videos. The amount of time you took right from the start in preparing the ground was amazing. But it proved without a doubt it was all worth it with the way everything from that point went like butter. Thank you, my hat is off to you sir!

Really impressed with not just the construction, which is really amazing but also with the care and attention you put into the making and presentation of these videos. You have a great presence on camera, it was like watching and listening to a good friend or brother tell an interesting story. Kept thinking “man I wish I were there helping I’d learn so damn much”! Thanks again.

watched every episode of the pole barn series.....awesome job. I've subscribed and looking forward to more videos

I am building a 12x36 run in for my horses and came upon your videos. I found them so informative that I changed my thinking on how to do my structure. Very well done and informative.

Well I didn't realize that when I searched for "How To Build A Pole Barn" I would come across something so detailed and well explained. I have to admit I admire your dedication and hard work to making sure everything was done the proper way. Yes as you said there were some things that you would have done different here or there but for the most part you were dead nuts on. I recently purchased a home on 1-1/2 acres and would love to put a barn on the back side of our lot and these videos have really gotten me over the fear of trying this on my own. Thanks again for your helpfulness to mankind and I have subscribed to the channel to see what other videos I've missed before this series and can't wait for future updates.

Just finished up watching your entire series on how to build a pole barn. I enjoyed it. Learned a lot. Thanks.

I've watched all eight parts of this Pole Barn building series. I thank you so much....you're a very generous man for taking the time to create such helpful videos of your projects. I look forward to your future projects. I'll be following you as long as you keep posting, not to mention referencing back when I build my own Pole Barn. Thanks again!

I watched your complete series of building the pole barn. My husband and I will build one in a few months. He will do 90 percent of it and I will be the helper. I wanted to have an idea what to do do. Your series was very helpful. I am thinking he'll need more than just me as a helper though. Thank You for posting this complete series.

By far the best video series describing in detail how to construct a pole barn. I watched the entire series and appreciate the effort you took in describing each aspect of the project. Absolutely one of the best video series on the web.

Thanks for your time and effort to document this! Also enjoyed the bits of humor thrown in. You have know idea how much time (and corrections) you will save me by your step-by-step process.

Amazing job explaining for those of us wo much experience!

If you are not the most consummate professional who is! What fantastically thorough video! Just great, THanks

Awesome video series...only one thing missing...the big ol' dog running around sniffing everything ;)

Probably the best instruction video I have seen on building a pole barn. Thanks for taking the time to help out people like me.

Just finished the pole barn series and wished I had seen this before I built my tractor shed. This is much nicer and more functional. Maybe I will add on and use this as a guide! I really enjoy your presentation style and look foreard to more of your videos. Your website is already on my favorites list.

I am always searching KZfaq for Do it Yourself videos, and this is BY far the most informative and enjoyable batch of videos I've stumbled upon. Very well done.

Hey Feddie. My name is Mike and I've been watching your pole barn series throughout the winter. Great job on the pole barn. I like the way you framed it by notching the posts and using the bookshelf girt style. Getting ready to start my 32x 48 as soon as the weather cooperates. Im in upstate ny and the frost is still in the ground. You helped keep me motivated this winter watching you. Like the way you think , and how you take your time making things square, also like your idea of getting the posts on the same plane by adjusting the concrete. Im going to try to utilize that as I will be going at it mostly on my own. Thanks for the series, lots of good tips. Keep up the great work!

Fantastic video series, watched from start to finish great job.👍👍

Enjoyed watching the 8 episodes of your pole barn.

watched em all! Thanks for taking the time to do this.

I just sat and watched your 8 part videos series on How to Build a Pole Barn. I really liked it a lot. It was very informative. I don't feel as afraid to tackle building my own pole barn. Thank You!

Awesome Siri we’re wrapping up to build a 36 x 36 pole barn with 12 years and I’m sure a lot of this information will help when we put ours together thanks again great job

Excellent series! Thank you

This is the best content for pole barns I have seen on KZfaq. I’ll be purchasing the plan just because I want to support you and the great job you have done. Well done keep the content rolling.

I have been wanting to build a pole barn for my Pontoon boat and your video's give me great idea's how I can get mine built. Thank you very much for taking the time to do this.

I am building a pole barn home over the next year and I really enjoyed watching your series. Thank you for making it and helping newbies like me to gain some knowledge. If you need a good laugh, you should watch the entire series with the closed captions on. Pretty funny to see how your accent is perceived by it.

Very helpful series. Thanks for the tips and all the info on your website. I appreciate the good content.

I love the detail man keep up the good work

Great job, it looks good. Thanks for sharing all this with us. God bless

Awesome series, really appreciate it and all the detail and work you put in to document this!

Beautiful job. Watch the whole series and I found it extremely helpful.

I watched your complete pole barn video series. You said if you watch it now or 5 years later... It is actually 6 years (2020) and it is still an awesome series!

Great video series!!! Very good details!!!

I really enjoyed your work on both the pole barn and the video. I have built several barns and some ALL ALONE! Learned something each time. You are a good host and illustrator. Thanks bro!!

Excellent series! Thank you so much for posting this. I am looking to build a structure on my land in the next year or so and this is a huge help. Keep up the great videos.

Just finished watching all of the vids on the pole barn. Hands down you did a wonderful job on the down to earth facts on the project. But the truth is what kept me watching all the shows is, Hey I am from Georgia and brother YOU are ever bit just as country as I am, and it was just a joy to watch and laugh at some of your comments that I TOTALLY get . Thanks so much for your efforts and keep up the good work!

Amazing series of videos!

Great videos and helpful tips! Enjoyed this series. Thanks very much for your time and effort in putting this together. Great job!

You are a great teacher thanks

Well done sir!! I've never seen anyone cut the poles and notch em before putting them in! I was very curious about that. I am impressed, and think you did a fine job!

This is absolutely awesome
