Took the first step towards building my shop

[Frank S]

Looking great Frank. You bring in full rigs I am guessing with that height. I know you have the length to do that. Although a tractor and trailer might not fit. I can't remember the other shop dimension.

You can get away with a lot different construction versus up here. You have to account for show load here to. Makes roofs a little more beefy. And frost. You have to sink supports deeper, about 5 feet for southern Ontario. Oh and heat! It gets cold here in the winter, although up till now we have had relatively warm weather above 32 up until today. High in the mid 40's.

You have a great shop. Basically a pole barn. A well made pole barn at that.

Yep it is a pole barn alright, the steel poles are buried in the ground to about 6 to 8 feet average all of them have at least 1 truck rim welded to their bottoms
