hello, I've built a few pole barns in my younger days and they seem to be
the choice of picky farmers. you get more head room . if you use metal on
the out side, its finished, the roof will never ( never say never) leak.
and you have 6 to 8 inches of insulation to put into the walls. the span is
only limited on the length of your trusses. if I ever get to the country
that is the way I think to go. the curved walls do present a challenge in
insulating and things. not impossible and a very nice building as well...
but not as nice as the pole building. built them with old telephone poles
and with 8x8 . telephone poles were a challenge, being tapered...
ill stop the rambling...any questions on the pole buildings and ill try to
answer any of them....its like building a fence. but different :o]
