Looking on any information on drawing a quonset hut. It is an existing building the customer is just adding a commercial kitchen. 

Thank you!

I have been design post frame construction with ChiefArchitect for decades. Horizontal framing is childish and ChiefArchitect failed but hopefully they get it figured out. 

Looks good!!

I've done a couple pole barn to homes now, what is it you need?  The link DB attached is a great starting point.  If your doing this from a kit, those plans are a great start too.  They usually have post sizes, spacings, spans, foundation details, etc.  Here in the panhandle, most houses are basically sitting on grade with a mono slab, at least with these barns, the post are anchored deep.. so to me more stout.  

I'm all set, thank you for replying

Help us by describing what you need help with, instead of asking for someone to write another article.

 

And see the Chief YouTube channel for a recent video.

Thank you for replying. I believe I am all set!

Did you see this article?

https://www.chiefarchitect.com/support/article/KB-01069/designing-a-traditional-pole-barn-structure.html

 

If that doesn't help, then you need to ask more specific questions about what you are having problems with.  

 

BTW, I think this would be much easier in X14 than in X12 because of the new framing tools they have added since then.

 

Thank you for the link. I did see that article but must have missed some information that I needed. I also agree that X14 would be much easier. I bummed I cannot run that yet due to system requirements. I have new equipment coming soon so I can enjoy X14!! Thanks again

Looking to get insight on framing a pole barn on x12. I’ve read some articles but none have completely helped me. Any one with some input would greatly be appreciated.
