pole building construction review [Posted on 2003-02-14] This book is very good. The information is presented in great detail in a very useable way. I found myself wanting to build with poles! Highly recomended. Sincerly, Adelbert M. Vinal Jr.
pole barns [Posted on 2003-03-07] Although the book had some helpful hints I was looking for more practical instructions on how to build a pole barn. The book did not go in deepth enough and had little information on pole barns. I was looking for ideas to help setting the floor grade and where to get started after lay-out is finished
Great practical book. [Posted on 2005-06-13] This is a very complete book that doesn't leave the reader asking for details like so many others. It's written so beginners can understand it and it contains all the design criteria, load tables, joint details, and so forth that an experienced builder needs to get a building permit and construct a building. Seddon inlcudes practical "how to" answers beginning with construction of a temporary frame to lift tall poles into holes in the ground without killing yourself trying. Framing and jointing details, connections, siding, windows and finish are all here. I built many stick frame homes over several years and was looking for information on construction of a pole frame home. I found it very useful and practical.
Covers the basics, needs updating [Posted on 2006-06-29] This book is fine, as far as it goes, but does not address the trend towards using cast concrete pole bases and untreated poles rather than using direct-burial treated poles.
good buy [Posted on 2008-11-12] this book is a great intro to pole construction.I will be keeping this one as a reference source!
