After 3 months, from permit to final building inspection, of working on it nights and weekends, I finally got my shed put up. 58x63x14. Menards package shed, and now onto a heated concrete floor for 1/3 of it for a shop area.

Now that is a post hole digger ! Do you own it or were you able to rent it and the boom pole ?

Hoofer B · Sep 25, 2020

Very nice. Do you have any extra room, if a couple of us guys wanted to store some stuff that we do not have space for? LOL Bill

Steve@Advance · Sep 25, 2020

That's not a shed...

It's a dream shop!

Very nice!

sdmike,

Wow! Just plain, Wow! That's a really fine looking building. I hope that you have great success in it for many years to come.

Mike M, I was required to drill 54" deep by 32" diameter holes for footings. (just a bit excessive I think for a 6x6 pole) I was able to find the Auger (36"), head and extension at a rental place near Sioux Falls. Only 1 place out of 8 that I called had an auger over 30". The truss boom, my 14 year old son made as a 4H project last year. The main mast is tubing from an old bean rider bar.
The old boy could turn the auger, but I couldn't put much down pressure on it, so I had to borrow a neighbor's big New Holland skid loader. Like to show the picture though, just so people get an idea of the size of the auger.

Sure looks nice. I would want different braces in the sides though more attached to the poles rather than to the girts like that. So why the big hole and so deep? We usually go about 4 foot and 10or12 inch hole for polebarn poles. These are old phone or power poles we used. Last one was built in 1970 still there and not leaning. Poles are in clay though with dirt floor.

Job well done. You are really ambitious and doing good passing on your abilities to your son. I see him going places in life. He should be proud of his 4H project. It is something that he will be able to use throughout his lifetime.

what state requires a building inspection on a pole shed ?

What, no cages made out of No. 8. Your building department must have a transplant from the big city.

Another nice looking building without any overhang. Why no overhang?

flying belgian · Sep 25, 2020

Can you explain a little more how you are doing the "shop area". Are you putting in a divider wall? Whole floor cement but just part heated? Whole building insulated?

moresmoke · Sep 25, 2020

The barn swallows can’t nest on it if no overhang.

tomstractorsandtoys · Sep 25, 2020

Nice shed and that is one tough looking 4010 with the big rubber,front fenders and all the rear weights. How many pair of rear weights? I have 4 pair on my 4020. Tom

SDMike · Sep 25, 2020

Tom, 5 sets. I can still get around in the winter without having to chain up.

SDMike · Sep 25, 2020

Flying Belgian, plan is to pour a slab in the east 1/3, wall off and insulate. Maybe sometime down the road, concrete the rest.

SDMike · Sep 25, 2020

WesinIL,
Cost. The only 2 "options" I ordered were wainscoating and an overhead door. Heck, I was just trying to get as much building as I could for under 20k.

Puts my little 32'X40' to shame! Nice building! Where is this? My mom was from Lake Norden west of Watertown...

SDMike · Sep 25, 2020

Not the state of SD, but Minnehaha county. PITA, actually. But it is done.

I live in MI. Needed an inspection on both of mine. I guess if I had not pulled a permit it wouldn't have been required.

Blackhole49 · Sep 26, 2020

I like sdmike built both mine (24x40 and 30x48) without overhangs. My small kit was $3,100 in 1986 and big kit was $6,400 in 2002. Both times I was stretching my budget to the max and couldn't afford the "luxury" of overhangs. I did put gutters on both and can honestly say; while I like the look of overhangs, I don't miss them.
