Q: What is the difference between a pole barn and a stick-built barn?

• <div><p>The difference between a pole barn and a stick-built barn is in the construction. Large poles in the ground provide support for pole barns. For stick-built barns, 2-by-4 or 2-by-6 lumber (known as sticks) create a frame around load-bearing beams. Stick-built construction is far more popular for residential homes. Pole barns are more cost-effective because they require fewer materials and less labor. </p></div>

Q: Which is better for my shed, a flat roof or a sloped roof?

• <div><p>Whether you should choose a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/flat-roof-better-sloped-roof.htm">flat roof or a sloped roof</a> depends on your particular situation. Flat roofs tend to be less expensive to install. However, sloped roofs have longer lifespans and stand up better to heavy snow and other inclement weather.</p><p>Keep in mind that even a flat roof needs to have a slight slope, usually around 1/2 inch for every foot. If it is completely flat, water will pool and cause damage, either from weight or leakage or rot.</p></div>

Q: How thick should a foundation be for a pole barn?

• <div><p>The foundation for a pole barn should be at least 36 inches thick to ensure that the piers won&rsquo;t shift from frost heave. </p></div>

Q: What size of barn can I build without planning permission?

• <div><p>It is recommended that you check with your local building official on barn building requirements and rules, since size restrictions vary greatly from region to region based on what your property is zoned for. Some cities limit barn construction depending on if your property is residential or commercial. The three main factors your building commission will evaluate are:</p><ul><li><p>Height and lot coverage: How tall your barn is and how much of your total property it occupies</p></li><li><p>Setback: Distance between barn and property line</p></li><li><p>Easement: Legal right for another owner to access another&rsquo;s property</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

"I was very impressed with Sentri Homes - their customer service was excellent. They sent a subcontractor to install some vinyl laminate in my bathroom and he ended up getting glue all over the carpet in our bedroom. The sub ended up ghosting both me and Sentri, leaving me stuck with a ruined carpet. Sentri stuck with me for over a month to get the carpet replaced with the identical original and to get the vinyl job 100% completed. The carpet was a Home Depot exclusive and Sentri handled everything with them. I will be using Sentri for a much bigger renovation I have coming up soon, because I know that they will make sure everything gets done right no matter what problems come up. The vinyl looks great too."
