Home Improvement Project - Pole Barn
(New Rolling "M" Workshop)
Back to the Rolling "M" Workshop Projects Page

The Rolling "M" Workshop has officially outgrown the two car garage at the Ranch. There simply isn't room for the hot rod, all of our lawn and gardening equipment, and a workshop. To alleviate our space pains, we decided to build a 24' x 24' (10' side walls) pole barn to house our lawn and garden equipment and the workshop. This will leave the garage open for automobiles and mechanic's tools. We purchased a stock barn plan from an area lumber yard and made a few changes to meet our needs. Here's the process:
