Subject: RE: Adding height to pole barn



NW Iowa
If you got the building for free and can move it yourself, it might work for you. I raised a former gestation building when I got out of hogs. 36'x63' Went from a 7' sidewall to a 20'. Just went straight up. Did all the carpentry work myself, but hired someone to get it in the air. Wanted to make a shop out of it and the ceiling was lined and insulated for the hogs. When I got done, if it wasn't for the liner and insulation, I was at even money with buying the materials for a new building. I did put all new exterior steel on it when I raised it. On the building you are considering, do look closely at the bottom two nailers on the roof. I have two machine sheds that came with purchased land that were built in the late 70's. Besides the poles being pretty much rotten at ground level, the bottom two rows of roof nailers are in bad shape from condensation running down the underside of the roof steel over the years.
