Seddon has given his book the extra dimension of original plans for a lean-to barn, horse barn, hillside house, garage/wood shed, mountain pole cabin, and a coastal house. Pole building construction saves money, time, labour, and materials because it involves limited grading, no excavation, flexibility on site, and few materials.

2Old not a good book  Aug 21, 2010
I'm disappointed in this book, its old and out dated. It doesn't really show how a pole building should be constructed and the materials needed to build one now, its based on the 80's. This book shows the use of timbers and older styles of building. If you're looking for a book to show you the way to build a pole building, what type of materials, and how to go about the set up of the concrete flooring this book is not what you're looking for.

3Covers the basics, needs updating  Jun 29, 2006
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.

5Great practical book.  Jun 13, 2005
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.

2pole barns  Mar 06, 2003
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
