New Brunswick, Canada | Home built pole barns unless done to ag extension plans are normally underdesigned for wind. They use the length of pole in the ground to resist the wind loads on the building. Going taller increases the wind load. Cutting them or splicing weakens them. Setting them on a slab completely undoes their purpose of being in the ground meaning you have to add sheathing or x bracing and struts up into the rafters.
You can do a lot of work in a 10 ft tall shop. Maybe pour a big apron for the big stuff out front? | |

Anyone ever rasied a pole barn?
