Since the collapse of my hoop building (Coverall) due to a heavy snow load, I decided to build a K Building in its place to serve as an equipment barn and later an indoor horse riding arena. I hired a Amish crew who was very experienced with these buildings. I am documenting the construction of this building and how it is put together. This is the first barn of two that are going up. This building is 60' x 135' x 16' and will be metal sided. If your interested in this type of building please watch and see how it is constructed to determine if this building is for you. Follow the series to see how these barns are built and put together.
