What’s possible with a POLE BARN building? (30x40)

In this video, I tour a 30x40 10’ post frame garage in Ohio. When I first arrived - I noticed the post frame, in its classic colors, (black & white) blended well in this spacious backyard.

The garage sits about thirty feet southwest from the home and has a 4/12 roof pitch and a well designed porch that faces the home. The half porch, 8x24 adds more space and provides sun relief in the summer.

The colors are well planned on this garage, with a black three foot section of wainscot, a contrasting white sidewall, and a black metal roof. The overhead door trim is lined in white to match the sidewall steel and the framed 3x3 windows.

During the video, I show the black wainscot, (three feet) which helps with layering the sidewall height (ten feet). Wainscot can be customized or cut to length to match a barn’s sidewall height.

White soffitt and fascia were used to compliment the black sidewall steel on this barn. A 1’ overhang and a 4/12 roof pitch will protect the barn from rainy and snowy weather in Ohio.

Two 10x8 overhead doors are placed on the barn, one framed on the front gable, and the other door framed on the corner eave side. A 6x8 slider door on the back gable allows access for lawn mowers to enter from the large backyard.

3x3 (white) trim windows were placed slightly above the wainscot that will allow plenty of natural light. Grids, on the interior side of the windows, match the windows on the house.

The concrete is scheduled to be poured with a 4” pad throughout the building and under the porch. Before the concrete is to be poured - 411 stone mix was brought in and compacted as a solid base. This stone mix is often used in highway construction as a sandy mix and settles well.

A special thanks to the owners for letting me tour this unique garage.

I wonder what the story is on the 2 foreign language comments your videos have been attracting of late. Too bad the new owner didn’t opt for the vinyl post wrap since treated wood does nothing to stop carpenter bee tunneling.
