 The best pole building book I have found. Nov 03, 1999
By GENE GERUE
"Author, Find Your Ideal Country Home"
Of all the pole building books I have seen, this is the best. Seddon covers the logic of pole building and then gives straightforward instruction on how to do it, with lots of clear drawings and photographs. Included are design, materials, calculating loads, foundations, framing and jointry, roofing and siding, windows and doors, building plans, and an appendix that shows how to calculate sun angles, snow loads, compares insulations, gives recommended nailing schedules, and several other useful items. Plans include a lake house, hillside house, cabin, garage, horse stable, and lean-to animal shelter. If you have never built anything before, it is likely that you will be able to build any or all of these with no more instruction than this book, plus plumbing and electrical help.

This book has clear and complete info on pole buildings. Jul 27, 1999
This pole construction book has become our favorite of all other pole books. It answered those important questions such as weight per pole, soil content, span distances, and extra bracing. It also helped us to figure weight loads (live and dead). This book gave us all the information needed to build a pole house.

Great "How To" Book Nov 02, 1999
I finally found a well organized book that shows the information and process required to Build a Pole Building. This book does an excellent job of walking the "Do It Yourselfer" through all the steps required to build a pole or Post and Beam building. After reading this book all you need is a blue print, building permit and materials and you are good to go.

Great practical book. Jun 13, 2005
By The Old Philosopher
"The Old Philosopher"
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.

 No Modern Pole Barns Here Jun 29, 2000
I bought this book and I thought it would show me how to build a "pole barn", it does not show what I know to be, modern techniquies, on how to build a pole barn. If you want a book to tell you how to build a modern day pole barn, this one is not it.
