    Building a pole barn

    Thanks for the suggestions, It’s still not to late for concrete, If using pre formed 10” concrete tubes, what would be more efficient, just install a Simpson strong tie on top of colomn above grade vs. incasing post in concrete down to footer. I already have 4x6x12 pressure treat, 8 total, but...

    b2150 hydro problems
