Definitely wouldn't go with poles in the ground. Any fence posts I put in the ground I take the time to paint some roofing/foundation coat on the side and end that goes in the ground. A gallon of that stuff will last forever.

Concrete piers or a regular foundation and pour a floor at the same time would be my choice with plenty of rebar. Put a loop or bend a short L in one of the rebars so you can loop your J bolt to it (either wire it on or hook it under during the pour. Then you'll be covered when the next hurricane hits Minnesota.

Not sure anyone uses round posts anymore. Morton and others laminate treated 2 bys together with alternating seams. Depending upon the load factor and spacing I've seen posts with 3 or 4 2x6's or 2x8's laminated together. Makes it easier to attach to being square.

We have a local supplier with the metal forming machinery who can cut the roofing/siding to length. Talked to him about a steel frame 50x100 and he said it was cheaper to buy his metal and then frame up the sides with 2 bys like you would a house and it would be cheaper and easier to work with. I suppose metal studs could be used too. Then use wood rafters to span the 50'.

Food for thought.

Today's Featured Article - Gatherin of the Orange - by Rick Nikolich. In July of 1998 I was talking to fellow Allis Chalmers collector Mike Schilling about the annual "Gathering of The Orange" AC show coming up in August of 1999. He got this wild idea that we should get a convoy of AC tractors and drive them from Charlotte, Michigan 105 miles to LaGrange, Indiana. ... [Read Article]
