Arrogant, ignorant buffoon, that sort of rings a bell with another Mr Johnson.

Those bloody parish councillors are a pain in the Harris! 

Some times they can be a pain in the Herras as well ........Who said you could put that fence up ....

Pole barn?
Chestnut poles buried in the ground and a tin roof.

Exactly that. Except we used telegraph poles, we buy them second hand for about £15 each, 2 uprights, 1 as a cross beam, like a set of goalposts, 4 sets, 2m apart and tin roofing sheets 3m in length. Just overlap the sheets and fix to the poles. Huge barn, and high as well.

Is a pole barn temporary when it's being used for storage of logs or any other use for that matter.?

The frontage is as long as we could make it. Took the longest 6 poles for the roof, then put a pitch in from the front to the back. Thats a 40' shipping container to the right and the barn goes back about another 2m so its about 14m deep, about 5m frontage. Cost me about £2k all in I reckon and most of that was the roof sheets. I could have done it for less but didn't want 2nd hand sheets
