They came and put the wood and the rafters up Tuesday and Wednesday. Took 4 of them 1 1/2 days to complete. Next will be the tin on Friday. Going to be nice when all done. Made it to 50 today. rrhead(SD)

Those direct burial post, what treatment are they? I'm assuming SYP PT lumber, just curious as to the rating, .60?? Around these parts, bugs are eating .40 PT lumber pretty quickly, can't even use it for direct burial anymore I think.

i have yet too see anyone building a building to use the metal strapping to keep the building square???????????? at least on each corner my building has 11 cross braces on a 90ft to help hold it square from wind too cheap to not install it cost wise just a dumb farmer engineering this one??????????? i have a corn crib my dad and myself put up 60yrs ago and another a carpentr put up with the same bill of lumber we used for ours is still standing and use it for machinery storage the other one the carpenter put has been down for 25 yrs

That is looking good! I am amazed how quickly the crew is building that building! Mine seemed to take all summer, and you are getting almost as nice of weather. You won't regret that purchase, I'll bet!
------------- If it weren't for the last minute, I wouldn't get anything done!

good looking building, i would have thought that the snow in your area would have required the trusses to be set closer than that, i put up a 24x40x12 here in jan 2008, and i used 6" post with 5' trust spacings, and my material package cost me $3500, the crew i had put my small barn up in 2 days and that cost me another $1500
------------- i like old tractors of all colors

Trusses look very stout, what dimension are the top cords? look like 8-10".
