Build a Garage, Workshop, Pole Barn, House
After you’ve found many potential pole barn architectural plan from the Net, don’t forget to consult your local constructing examiner to finalise the details.
Socket Systems manufactures the metal joinery system called Lumber Link. This 3-16″ steel “socket”, joins 6″x 6″ rough-cut timbers or wood members, to create a clear span building frame. The standard Lumber Link kit can create a clear span area up to 30 feet wide. Extensions of 15 feet on each side will make the building 60 feet wide. The 6″ x8″ Hercules fixture can build clear spans up to 60 ft. wide with certain requirements. We also supply steel rafters with pre-welded purlin clips in a variety of pitches. Custom fixtures for cathedral ceilings alternative pitches and more, are no problem. Frames are assembled on the ground and raised into place using the foot locking system. No cranes or lifting equipment is needed and vertical supports are NOT set into cement, to eventually rot. Double your space with a second floor using a steel or wooden I-beam. This versatile building system can be erected by contractors or the do-it-yourselfer. Complete building plans are available for sale on the website. Architectural engineering services are available for simple or detailed projects. Lumber Link has been used to build pole barns, garages, additions, porches, carports, businesses, airplane hangers, commercial barns, storage facilities and homes since 1983.

maybe we all want to be like Chuck when we get old. lol
@thouartjohnd ah well i guess thats not bad but chucks a overachiever
@googles23m
Chuck has no building background, just common sense.
Welcome to the poor club. But you might be surprised. We just priced complete materials for building a 24×24 Gable, no second floor, with a solid wall foundation and slab floor, 1 two car garage door, three windows and 1 man door., metal siding and metal roll roofing, for a 40 psf snow load area. $6,000!!
NO LABOR included. You might need to hire the back hoe, but that’s ALL!
6×8 and 6×6 timbers must be #1 construction grade, but everything else was Home Depot
this system seems pretty expensive to me 400 to do one gable without buying the wood but does seem like it would be alot easier then making the joints in just wood tho guess ya get what ya pay for … 2 bad im poor lol
This can not be done by the average person. chuck has some building background
@duaneafields no you cant… you also need a chuck, tor
Stage nailing.
So Chuckin’ easy… Even a Chuck could do it!
If you mean 6 K200 Gable Kits it would be 102 Clips at $1.98 ea. Feel free to call 814-476-1927.
For all your answers call Socket Systems at 814-476-1927. We love to make your building dreams come true.
Necessity is the mother of invention and Chuck did have clever ideas to keep the manual labor off his back, but this system IS really easy! You can also purchase building plans that show every bolt and nail. (Just like lego’s) Call 814-476-1927 for details.
I really like this product…But I think Chuck is a little more than your typical retired home owner. He’s been more than the greeter at Walmart !
Thanks for watching so closely!
Hey Chuck, why do you keep hammering on a nail (2:45) that is already in??? By the way, excellent job!
It all depends where you live. Your live and dead loads determine your Bay Spacing. The average is 8 ft. You might need 3 Kits at $350 ea. This system is much more economic for larger buildings.
how much would be the cheapest price to build a 12×16 1story workshop
How much does is cost?
And witch countrys do you have ”office” in and where?
An average 2 car garage is 24 x 24. The average kit would cost $1,820 delivered. The total average building cost using Lumber Link is $5,760. ($10/ sq. ft.)
If you can’t change a faucet, you might not want to try this project.
Yeah, I think Church knew something about construction. I would have to agree with Pimporly. This is a really nice building though.
That looks hard! Wow! Chuck did a lot! Your average “Joe” can’t do that..lol. You have to be smart to do that and have a spare $30,000 grand or so laying around. I would go with purchasing a pre-made two floor shed for around $12,000
Chuck built for close to $10 per square foot. His building was 1,200 sq. ft. with 1,200 second floor.
His cost was $24,000 with the cement slab.
How much did chuck spend? This looked nice…
