Getting storage is as easy as setting up a pole barn.
Many of these shelters start as kits, in which all parts are precut, a set of blueprints is included, and all you need are tools to assemble the shelter together.
Pole barn construction, in fact, involves following the directions to put such a shelter together.
While these buildings are used as general storage, garage, horse shelters, and even homes, all have the same standard construction initially and modifications, such as insulation or interior additions, are made later.
Most pole buildings have a wood and metal construction.
The sides, poles, and trusses for the structure are made from high-quality lumber, while the roof and siding are made from metal, usually galvalume.
The basic pole barn construction consists of installing the poles first, adding the wood sides, and then the metal roof.
Doors - and most buildings have two - are added last.
All pole barn construction is do-it-yourself, unless you seek out a builder for the job in your area.
But even when you're following the blueprints to put the structure together, the first step is finding the best location for the building, even before you add holes to the ground.
Ideally, this area is flat and solid and drains well.
Additionally, a permit will likely need to be obtained before you start building.
Official pole building construction begins by digging holes to add each pole.
All holes should be spaces eight to 10 feet apart, or however the blueprints specify, and should be angled exactly at 90 degrees at each corner.
Holes are, on average, 18 inches deep, but this may need to be greater if the ground is soft or has a sand-like quality.
Securing the poles into the ground is the most significant aspect of pole barn construction.
Otherwise, the building will not be secure.
Blueprints will specify to add the poles to the holes and fill up the spaces with concrete.
After the concrete has dried, the rest of the shelter can be built according to the directions.
