To build a barn from oak or larch, or bit of both?

[SteveA]

The bottom ring (whatever you call it) sits on dense concrete block foundation piers, 12 in total.

siwhite, I like your blog. Keep the pictures coming!

SteveA, I hope you have made a start??

 

I'm on 'interiors' right now with my little barn and nearly ready for plastering. I have some interesting shapes to work around:biggrin:

Oh, and the wriggly tin roof sounds great in the current rain storms even with 180mm of insulation between me on the inside and the weather on the outside. This co supplies all I need in wriggly tin plus colours; Metal Roofing Sheets | Corrugated Roof Sheeting | Cladco LJT

I've been looking at Cladco to supply wiggly sheets for a Dutch barn (for hay).

For the barn we're building at the moment we'll be going for zinc standing seam - although pure zinc roofing is incredibly expensive! ....may go halfway and use aluminium sheets with a zinc coating. Euroclad make some called vieo & they also offer free training courses for DIY fitters.... very tempted with that! VIEO Roof System : Euro Clad — Metal Building Solutions

Haha! okay, so now I know it's your fault!

Because of doing the barn I'll be pushed to find any spare time for a week. Dammit!! Maybe I can squeeze a couple days in??

I'll give you a phone tomorrow. cheers

Still loads to do but it's getting there....

[SteveA]

It's all pretty solid but I need to attach a few horizontal beams to the upright posts....

Without all the cladding on....
