I seen a couple of comments calling these guys hill billies. Let me tell you something it takes people with extreme skills and know how to b a carpenter. I bet all the people making fun of these men for the way they talk dont know the first thing about anything. Before you go and call people hill billies, or dumb for the way they talk how about you go and see what there work is all about you wont want to do it anymore after the first day!!! Keep up the great work guys!

Nice video. You have to turn on subtitles and read them while it runs - OMG hilarious! Obvipusly KZfaq/Google don't do southern - but neither does my Dragon program. It's a pole barn - for live stock - in the country. Cost effective building is what it's all about - not going to be hosting a gourmet wine and cheese gathering in the pole barn. The ex and I built one in 1978 , in Georgia, and it was still standing in 1993 (that's when I moved out of state). The wood we used was pine saplings we cut off our land, stuck in post holes - no concrete (GA red clay sets up like concrete. The roof and siding were old aluminum printers plates we got from an old print shop. Did it all in about 4 days - nailing the printers plates on took the longest time. If you have the building on a slight rise, and have adequate roof overhang, most of the water runs off. But, if the posts start to rot out, you just put in another one next to the one that's rotting - in 10 to 20 years.

IF ANYONE OUT THERE IS PLANNING TO PUT POSTS IN THE GROUND -- Dont do it this way, they will be rotted through in no time, pressure treated or not. The principal is to keep the post clear of the soil (wet). Put a few inches of concrete or a brick in the hole first, top up with concrete to above ground level sloping it away from the post. Thats why fencing contractors do it the wrong way- to guarantee more work in 5---10 years time.

Nice video. I noticed how the concrete was added after a fair amount of building was done. I guess that helps everything stay straighter and lock the building in the right position. Im building a 12 x 16 storage shed and have been watching different construction methods. Building codes dont apply in my area to buildings less than 200 sq. Ft. As a side note...Im sorry about the pricks on youtube saying rude things. There should be a way to ban negative comments from Trolls. You sir are a pro.

Dewayne, pus when the post shows rot, your still going to have a time removing the post in said pier and removing it all together without first cutting the still intact part of the column. For those who still want to install the column into concrete with less rot issues, there is of course such as Plasti-Sleeve and Post Protector products but since concrete tends to expand and or crack through when settling and over time and such installation does not include some uplift anchorage in it and it has rotted as stated without protection in the concrete boot, it will come loose from said footer. Then again if it to be required for say 20 years then by all means set the column foot into the soil or concrete.

Here in Colorado I have personally done work in 100's of pole barns that are well over 30 years old and have no loss in structural integrity. It is like ANYTHING, it's about the quality of products used and the quality of work. There are other structures in the world that are over 1000 years old that we can't match today even with our tech! Something to think about...

I doubt there is any wood product (especially the non treated lumber shown here) that is going to withstand the constant saturation of water without any damage, being an organic material.. and yes, ancient structures still standing are of stone, and if not have a stone base at least.

@Joshua79C6 жыл бұрын
Have seen personally many so called "ground contact" treated non cedar wood column/posts rot away or get eaten away due to less than proclaimed "treatment" quality. Then again it also depends on soil type and acid levels and other chemical leakage through the soils along with insect infestation the soil and region is prone to. Some were even encased in concrete and still rotted out and those piers are a cuss to remove once you cut and stabilize the column for removal. So few know about these real life issues or even products to prolong the life of a column in or above ground.

or because the sin rises on one side and set on the other, set facing north-south or vice versa cover both pitches of said roof and you double your solar and wind turbine at both ends at the peak and you got double wind power, or double that at the "corners" if possible for quadruple the wind power and for those with a nice stream with high enough "head" can install a non intrusive kW size "micro" hydro turbine for even more renewable power

@Joshua79C6 жыл бұрын
This is how columns and pole building now more called post frame has been installed but due to issues with burying there are other options out there and some allow the post to last much longer in the traditional in ground method. The idea is the column provides the support, the soil provides outward and inward resistance for the post and diverts the buildings bearing weight into the ground below the frost line.
@Joshua79C6 жыл бұрын
Oh and buried part of the column in dirt, not going to last much more than 20 years, all good if a temporary structure but for those wanting it to last longer in dirt or encased in concrete then check out Plasti-Sleeve and Post Protector sleeves for more prolonged life, pretreatment is only so good and penetrates only so much. For more temporary longer use, DIY type Concrete piers and a bracket from Midwest Permacolumn in either wet set (one set it can bot be readjusted in height or position) or dry aka drill set columns with either expanding bolts which themselves limit position of bracket after the concrete has had enough initial set time or screw in bolt which is not as limited to mounting positions of said bracket if you want to it be on the very edge of the pier or a footer wall for basement or slab on grade with footer to below frost line or even a crawlspace with slab below grade for a wood framed floor. Then there is also Strong Way bracket system that is height adjustable both before and after concrete pour as it is a wet set system, they also make and offer a column repair sleeve that covers three sides and easier for post in dirt column repair work and less intrusive than digging a hole. Both of those bracket systems are goof for use in slab with footer, slab below for a crawlspace with pony walls for wood framed floor which is less harder than concrete on the body. and walk in/around basement below grade for residential home post frame structures or extra storage below a multipurpose or utility use building.
