Build a Garage, Workshop, Pole Barn, House
Socket Systems manufactures the metal joinery system called Lumber Link. This 3-16″ steel “socket”, joins 6″x 6″ rough-cut timbers or wood members, to create a clear span building frame. The standard Lumber Link kit can create a clear span area up to 30 feet wide. Extensions of 15 feet on each side will make the building 60 feet wide. The 6″ x8″ Hercules fixture can build clear spans up to 60 ft. wide with certain requirements. We also supply steel rafters with pre-welded purlin clips in a variety of pitches. Custom fixtures for cathedral ceilings alternative pitches and more, are no problem. Frames are assembled on the ground and raised into place using the foot locking system. No cranes or lifting equipment is needed and vertical supports are NOT set into cement, to eventually rot. Double your space with a second floor using a steel or wooden I-beam. This versatile building system can be erected by contractors or the do-it-yourselfer. Complete building plans are available for sale on the website. Architectural engineering services are available for simple or detailed projects. Lumber Link has been used to build pole barns, garages, additions, porches, carports, businesses, airplane hangers, commercial barns, storage facilities and homes since 1983.

It all depends where you live. Your live and dead loads determine your Bay Spacing. The average is 8 ft. You might need 3 Kits at $350 ea. This system is much more economic for larger buildings.

If you can’t change a faucet, you might not want to try this project.
Yeah, I think Church knew something about construction. I would have to agree with Pimporly. This is a really nice building though.
That looks hard! Wow! Chuck did a lot! Your average “Joe” can’t do that..lol. You have to be smart to do that and have a spare $30,000 grand or so laying around. I would go with purchasing a pre-made two floor shed for around $12,000
Chuck built for close to $10 per square foot. His building was 1,200 sq. ft. with 1,200 second floor.
His cost was $24,000 with the cement slab.
How much did chuck spend? This looked nice…
