Its on 6x6 posts that are 3 2x6's lamintated together. The holes are 48 inches deep, then 8 inches of concrete that the posts will set on. I will then tamp chips and dust are the posts. The floor will be compacted chips and dust. There are 5 posts a side with 2 at each gable end. One 16 foot wide door on a gable end. Trusses will be set 48 oc

Excellent. sounds like a pretty stout building. Do you understand the squareness measurement of the 6-8-10 formula?

If I didn't have to work, I would come out. Your closer than I thought you were. Mapquest said an hour and 14 inches so I could do it in about 45 minutes.

The diagonal of your 24X36 building will be 43' 3 1/8". It' called the pythagorean theorem. "A" squared + "B" squared = "C" squared.

24X24= 576
36X36= 1296

576+1296= 1872

Square Root of 1872= 43.26ft= 43' 3 1/8"


Hope this helps.
