Gil, let me know the next time you are coming to town. I’m 5 minutes away from Liberty’s showroom. We have our fair share of issues with building permits and the likes also.

I am gathering info to build a similar barn in Conifer Colorado and would love to have the information on where the plans, and materials came from. property has major formations of solid granite so I am not confident about the pit. Apparently the county building office allows the local volunteer fire dept to present their rules for buildings. That should be interesting!

My building is a simple slab (8” concrete with 2’x4’ footers) on grade with 2x8 pressure treated walls covered in 3/4” pressure treated plywood. The walls were engineered and framed by a local truss shop. It is considered an engineered building. The wood is all framed and attached with truss plates just like a roof truss. The wall sections are approximately 8’ long by 16’ high, they are screwed together and bolted to the concrete slab. I would be happy to post pictures of the attachments and style of construction if you are interested. Here in Florida we have very tough building codes due to hurricanes. I’m sue you could contact the same company I used and purchase the plans and have a local truss company build the wall sections. The building arrived at my home on 2 semi trucks and consisted of 16 sections that we installed with the help of a crane. The exterior is decorated in Hardy planking, impact windows, and 175 mph resistant garage doors. I did the exterior that way so it matched my house and didn’t stand out like a sore thumb. After paver bricks, landscaping, and paint it blends in pretty good.
