| Got at least 6 Inches of existing foundation to build off of. Figured on makin it about 7 or 8 ft high. Put maybe a garage door, or bifold door on it big enough to be able to drive my truck into. Thinkin about maybe having overhead storage? Ill use old telephone posts and electic poles every 4 feet. Rob some 2 by 4s off of some skids. Use OSB board, or boards off of skids on the sides and build my own trusses and use steel on the roof. If i could get it sealed up fairly decent i could have a small outdoor furnace to heat it in the winter. Neways heres a drawing of my foundation. the part in red does NOT have concrete at this time.  | |

| Sounds like you want to build a "pole barn"..........Why 31x22?.......with a post every 4 ft, 32x20 or 24 would work out better and easier. | |

| Well the measurements I mentioned earlier are just the size of the existing foundation. yes my plan was on using old telephone and electric poles to make a pole building. | |
