Pole Barn Garage

[DieselSlug]

Well its finally going to happen this year. I've been planning a pole barn build since 2021, but the COVID debacle, life, and everything else has gotten in the way.

The initial plan was for us to build, but my work just takes too much time, family help has their own lives, and its tough on only weekend availability with weather.

The barn will be a 30x40 enclosed with steel and lower wainscot (want a maroon/burgundy and black combo). A 10x40 lean-to off the back side for camper storage, and an 8x30 canopy out from the front gable end. Trying to go 16-foot tall but may suffice with 14-foot. All doors and windows will be black to match roof and wainscot. 30x48 will be concrete while the lean-to will be gravel to try and save some cost.



As many may know I've been working on rough grading this area for years in hopes to get settling achieved. I've also got the driveway 80% there.

Looking forward to watching this get to completion

For the lean-to, 10' seems just a bit narrow for the camper. Yes, it will fit, but the margins are a bit tight with little room for error in backing. If the budget allows, might consider another 2'. Just a thought.

You are correct, and in my hindsight I wish I went 12' as the camper measures 8' wide. Issue now is I didnt do enough site work to facilitate the extra width. Second, i would have to go back to the town for a permit revision.

I will have the opportunity for "pull through" worst case but my plan was to get some more bonding time with the wife haha.

I may also elect to just keep the camper in dry storage at our shop like I have been, but I wanted this option to fall back on if it was ever needed.
