Product Description
Product Description
Seddon has given his book the extra dimension of original plans for a lean-to barn, horse barn, hillside house, garage/wood shed, mountain pole cabin, and a coastal house. Pole building construction saves money, time, labour, and materials because it involves limited grading, no excavation, flexibility on site, and few materials.

Format:Paperback
This pole construction book has become our favorite of all other pole books. It answered those important questions such as weight per pole, soil content, span distances, and extra bracing. It also helped us to figure weight loads (live and dead). This book gave us all the information needed to build a pole house.

The best pole building book I have found.
3 Nov 1999
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Of all the pole building books I have seen, this is the best. Seddon covers the logic of pole building and then gives straightforward instruction on how to do it, with lots of clear drawings and photographs. Included are design, materials, calculating loads, foundations, framing and jointry, roofing and siding, windows and doors, building plans, and an appendix that shows how to calculate sun angles, snow loads, compares insulations, gives recommended nailing schedules, and several other useful items. Plans include a lake house, hillside house, cabin, garage, horse stable, and lean-to animal shelter. If you have never built anything before, it is likely that you will be able to build any or all of these with no more instruction than this book, plus plumbing and electrical help.

Great "How To" Book
2 Nov 1999
Format:Paperback
I finally found a well organized book that shows the information and process required to Build a Pole Building. This book does an excellent job of walking the "Do It Yourselfer" through all the steps required to build a pole or Post and Beam building. After reading this book all you need is a blue print, building permit and materials and you are good to go.
