Pole Barn Built With Corrugated Flooring Panels

Pole Barn Built With Corrugated Flooring Panels BUILDINGS Miscellaneous Mark Majerus Farmington Minn used heavy corrugated metal flooring to build an inexpensive 15 by 30-ft pole barn with a sloping metal roof for his horses The metal is screwed to 4 by 6-in upright wooden beams and to double stringers on front and back of the building The shed has no floor but stands on a hill so water drains away “A neighbor gave me the corrugated steel which was left over from a shopping center project where it was used as the base for Terrazzo tile floors ” says Majerus “This is thick heavy 10-ga metal with 6-in wide 4-in deep corrugations To make a floor contractors place the metal over steel bar joists and then cover it with concrete It results in a very solid floor “A big advantage of these panels is they’re built strong enough to clear a wide span without needing any joists or stringers for support The roof on my shed is 15 ft from front to back yet I didn’t have to install any joists or stringers which saved a lot of work ” The metal came in 30-ft long 40-in wide panels Majerus used his skid loader to load them onto a flatbed trailer then used the same loader to hold them up while he screwed them onto the beams A cut-off saw equipped with an abrasive bit was used to cut the metal panels to length for the roof Contact: FARM SHOW Followup Mark Majerus 1731 230th St E Farmington Minn 55024 ph 651 463-7084; markmajerus46@hotmail com
