We've got barns around here that were built in the early 1900s that the cedar poles are still solid, this cedar last along while, I built a barn in 2006 and the poles look like they did when I put them in the ground, my granddad bought a farm in 1953 he said it was an old barn when he bought it and the poles are still very solid. Main thing is to not use cement.



Red cedar?
Got some I need to get rid of, may put them to use.
Thanks

It's way cool to do,but it's somewhat of a chore,it looks easier than it is, at least for me it is. Thanks for the input.

Looks like you know your stuff.

I’m not familiar with red cedar, but I’ve seen peeled black locust last a lifetime + here in Pa. Back in the 70s, we mined through an area that was previously mined sixty years earlier. The locust props that were set were as solid as they day they were put in.

Whats holding up your rafters? just those boards nailed to the sides of the uprights?or do you have a purlin running along on top of the uprights that cant see in pic?


Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

Nate,
How very special. You are talented and do it like they used to.
Yourself.
Sure, a few Tman'ers may grab their clip boards and attempt to make sure it's up to their "code," but I just think it's very cool indeed sir.
Thanks for sharing.

Blessings,
Mark

No that wasn't planned but it's not a big deal, just a little more work, I didn't catch it but in a earlier pic.you can see at the bottom of that pole it made a bend/ offset, but not a big deal to me,all the weight is on the side walls.

Got the rafters up, to say it was tuff would be an understatement.

Thanks to all the nice comment's I really appreciate them. So far other than gas/oil for my saw and truck, plus electric to run chop saw I've spent $11.30.

Looking great. That barn will out live the rest of us guaranteed. We have many here in the Appalachian mountains like that , that are over 100 years old
