Welcome to Deere Talk. Nice tractor! :thumbup1gif:

The barn looks great. What kind of poles do you have going into the ground. They look treated on the bottom and not on top?

WOW! nice machine and building. You are going to be ready just in time for winter. And yes, welcome to a great forum. Thanks for the pics.

Brian, that is the way my pole building is done also, spliced in treated at the base. My pole building is a Cleary.

Mine are treated top to bottom and are linex'ed underground.

 

[RandyM]

are linex'ed underground.

Not sure what this is. Do tell.

Truck bed liner. Linex

I have no clue if its good or bad for the wood. Some say it will hold in moisture, others say it will keep it out. I did it to protect it from cement as most say cement will eat away at the posts. Who knows.:boredom:

 

[RandyM]

OH yeah, I didn't put 2 and 2 together. Well, I doubt it will hurt anything. I think Cleary guaranteed the posts for 30 years, half way there. I will be an really old man by then.:yahoo:

Yes these posts are laminated 2x8's so the bottom is treated. Supposed to be stronger in the long term. We had the building erected this past summer and will be working on concrete and finishing out the inside ourselves. This building is at my parents and is one of many on our farm. My dad is retired after 30 years on the farm and this will be a good "play" area for him...
