Creating strong, durable structures this way requires only limited grading and essentially no excavation on site, allows for plenty of design flexibility, and utilizes fewer materials than other building techniques. In his classic do-it-yourself guide Practical Pole Building Construction , author and builder Leigh Seddon covers everything you need to know about all stages of the process from initial designing and planning to the actual construction and building stage. With an emphasis on practicality and economy, this essential reference manual includes helpful, easy-to-follow yet detailed information about how to choose between kiln-dried vs. green poles; architectural and structural specifications; site selection; construction-site preparation; design principles; aesthetics; pole setting; sustainability considerations; and ways to insulate and ventilate. It also features original design plans for multiple building and outbuilding types, including lean-to barn, horse stable, hillside house, garage/woodshed, mountain pole cabin, and coastal/lake house. In addition to the many photographs within, illustrator David Sylvester provides plentiful architectural drawings to accompany the clear, informative text. Engineer and veteran builder Leigh Seddon is also the author of Low-Cost Green Lumber Construction (also available from Echo Point Books)' another time-honored reference book for resourceful, do-it-yourself builders looking to save costs and work sustainably. Review: good book. - i own a few books on out building construction. this is by far my fav. most of the books i own are just floor plans with no real building tips. i find this one to be a valuable referance guide to actual construction. if you have a general idea of what you want to build. buy this book it can help you with the planing. if you are looking for a floor plans type book i would pass it by. one of the reveiws i read made coments as to this book being dated. due to the fact it didn't talk of cemet pillar construction. this is a pole building book. the word pole should be highlighted. there are charts on loads and pole size. i am not sure if the info is current with code in all areas or not. if not, it doesn't matter in regards to the fact that this is a good referance guide. if you planing on building a pole type building yourself. i would recomend this book. Review: The best pole building book I have found. - 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. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #126,975 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #50 in Carpentry #158 in Home Design & Construction (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 out of 5 stars 186 Reviews | ## Images ![Practical Pole Building Construction: With Plans for Barns, Cabins, & Outbuildings - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71NCBUI5MzL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ good book. *by A***R on January 8, 2012* i own a few books on out building construction. this is by far my fav. most of the books i own are just floor plans with no real building tips. i find this one to be a valuable referance guide to actual construction. if you have a general idea of what you want to build. buy this book it can help you with the planing. if you are looking for a floor plans type book i would pass it by. one of the reveiws i read made coments as to this book being dated. due to the fact it didn't talk of cemet pillar construction. this is a pole building book. the word pole should be highlighted. there are charts on loads and pole size. i am not sure if the info is current with code in all areas or not. if not, it doesn't matter in regards to the fact that this is a good referance guide. if you planing on building a pole type building yourself. i would recomend this book. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The best pole building book I have found. *by K***R on November 3, 1999* Of all the pole building books I have seen, this is the best.

Not only is the basic theory of pole building discussed, but there are plans for several practical buildings, and all the necessary tables and calculations for designing your own basic buildings. I would caution against using pole building for structures intended to be permanent. Even with the best preservatives we have, the poles will rot in the ground in 50 years or so, so don't count on handing that pole built cabin on down to the kids. There are plenty of construction details well outlined in the book that can be applied to traditional framing as well, so it's a worthy read no matter what kind of building you're dreaming of building. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sk/products/411383938-practical-pole-building-construction-with-plans-for-barns-cabins-outbuildings](https://www.desertcart.sk/products/411383938-practical-pole-building-construction-with-plans-for-barns-cabins-outbuildings) --- *Product available on Desertcart Slovakia* *Store origin: SK* *Last updated: 2026-05-19*
