Here's How I Built a Pole Barn (post frame construction)

I built a 32' x 48' Pole Barn! You can do it too! I show you how I (a complete DIYer) methodically constructed what is my dream shop or dream garage ... whatever you want to call it. In this lengthy video, I provide you with a very good idea in terms of the tools and materials you will need, as well as the level of effort required to build your own pole barn. Somewhat uniquely, I purchased logs and turned them into the lumber I needed to build my pole barn using a sawmill. My sawmill of choice: a Woodland Mills 122 Sawmill. Let me know what you think of my process (kind and constructive comments) and how you may be planning to build your dream shop or garage.

This is technically a Post Frame building. In a post frame, the posts sit on piers or some sort of foundation. In a pole barn, the posts are in the ground.
