THE BARN IS UP, BUILT IN UNDER 4 HOURS A 24X36 STEEL BUILDING V/S POLE BARN PRO/CONS
What happens here
The initial phase involves crucial site preparation. The ground is leveled and compacted with a significant amount of crushed run gravel (320 tons) to create a stable and well-drained foundation, which is essential to prevent water from collecting underneath the building, particularly on a hillside. Once the site is ready, the crew unloads the various light gauge steel components, which include posts, beams, and roof trusses, from the delivery truck, carefully arranging them on the prepared base, ready for the assembly process. The owner notes that the building is designed to withstand 150 mph winds and is certified, requiring a building permit.
Goal: The construction site is prepared by leveling the ground and adding 320 tons of crushed run gravel to ensure a level, straight, and smooth base, preventing water accumulation. Following site preparation, workers unload long, cold-formed light gauge steel sections from a delivery truck, organizing them on the prepared gravel base for assembly.
