Building a pole barn in Shafer
Whether you are on a few acres or a lake lot, Shafer projects begin with the ground. Sand drains well and clay holds water, and either one changes how the pad, the posts and the drainage are planned for your building.
Snow load is engineered for the building's exact location, and a lean-to beside a taller roof gets drift calculations on top of the base load. Steel roofs shed snow quickly, so doors and walkways should sit away from the eave or be protected by a longer overhang.
