[QUOTE="504RP, post: 1826048, member: 40335"] That’s what I have in mind doing. There are so many chicken farms going out of business it’s pretty easy to find metal trusses that span 50’. I built one pole barn using telephone poles, chicken house trusses & the roof tin from them. It was a 50 long x 75’ wide. Seems like it took 31 telephone poles to build it. Built it by myself with the exception of my wife and daughter standing the sheet metal up for me to pull on up on the roof. They were 30 foot sheets 38 inches wide. Dug all of the post holes using an auger and post hole diggers. Would never have got them dug that way had the soil not been almost like top soil where I was digging. Was 40 years old when I built it. What I would give to still be in good enough health to work like that again. [/QUOTE]
