How much headroom inside for the mill are you allowing? I like the idea of the raised tie chord, I used a similar design on a wood stove shed covering my outdoor Central Boiler

Those are some mighty fine looking sheds you fellas have.

Wow! thanks beenthere!  I have never seen this,  I was going on what I was told,, it does have good power for a little tractor,  picked it up for a mere 1800 bucks in the late 80's  less than 2000 hrs.  still hard to believe the brakes are shot, but they are,  if all goes well, I will get this done before the freeze hits.  As far as the shed goes,
a 12' ceiling is a good height, if lifts are to be in and out.  A drive through is a pretty good idea, just make plans for a close slab rack, the work triangle is critical for time in the log.   
only have a few chain saws I'm not suppose to use, but will at times, one dog Dolly, pretty good dog, just not sure what for yet,  working on getting the gardening back in order, and kinda thinking on maybe a small bbq bizz,  thinking about it,

 Heres what I'm working on to saw under. Its a 40'x52' covered building, 30'x50' is inclosed. Will set up the mill under the 12'x50' SHED.Building will be insulated & have an office/man cave/ living qtrs. on the opposite side of building I poured an 8'x12' joining slab, which will be a restroom with bathtub, urinal, sink,& storage space. 8) 8) Well my PICS would not upload since its jpg.Moderators this is a common format, whats up, am I doing something wrong?? ??? ??? ???

You have to first upload the photos to your photo gallery, then link to it in the post.

This is done to ensure that your photo will remain available years from now so we don't wind up with red Xs where the photo has gone missing.

Here's a link to a guide on how to do it: https://forestryforum.com/board/index.php/topic,61788.0.html

You can upload .Jpg files no problem.  The upload process is a bit different on this forum, but nothing you can't handle.
It's the going that counts not the distance!

ok , Lets see if I can get the pics up. I've posted pics before, dont know what the problem was 

  

  

   The last pic is where the mill will be setup under ;D ;D

If you are putting in a large opening for the logs make sure the beam above it is large enough to handle the snow  load.  This last winter was much worse than usual and just in Barron county thousands of building collapsed from the snow load.  Mostly pole sheds.  But some homes and lots of barns as well.

Weasel,

Looks awesome!  I am jealous.

What size beam would be enough to support a 16' span for the side open to load logs?

Don P

Impossible to say, need more info. I'm assuming rafters are supported by the beam?, how far is it to the other support end of the rafters (rafter span)? Overhang, how much? Snow load in lbs per square foot? Wood species and grade?

woodland84

Rafters would be 14' long with 1' overhang. So 12' wide. Full 8x8 vertical posts. Strapped and steel on roof. We have some snow load up here by times. Also 45 degree angle supports on either side of span as well.

Don P

Find your snow load in pounds per square foot, it is probably published online or available from the local building dept or truss shop. "some snow load" is something between 10 and 300 lbs/sq ft x 112 sq foot area bearing on the beam.

woodland84

From what I can find the snow load in my area would be around 20 lbs per square foot.

My sawmill house is a bit smaller than what you are looking for and it was initially built fully open with no walls.  Side openings are 22' so I can bring in 20' logs and take out 20' lumber.  Ends are 20' wide.  Overall size is 20' x 40' and 12' high.



 

My drying house and sawmill houses are the duplicates.  Used shiplap for the roof and then R9 metal panels.


 

( I built scaffolding on both sides of the sawmill house so I could safely work on the roof because I am vertically challenged :) ).

The scaffolding was actually pretty easy to build and allowed me to overcome that fear of heights I've had all my life.  Basically it is 2" x 4" s on 4' centers with handrails and sturdy foot boards.  The foot boards were sawn from a couple of dead standing SYP's as 5/4" material.  I used structural screws to hold everything together which also made it easier to take down once it was completed.

I had an old pair of Skecher's Shape Ups tennis shoes that were absolutely non-slip on the metal roof and "no cry" knee pads I found on Amazon.  It really made the job anxiety free.

Assembly was straight forward, screwing the columns to the floorboard supports and then screwing that assembly to the horizontal holding member.  Then as I laid 12' floorboards, I also added the hand rails. (My wife even helped with the assembly).



 



 






 


 

I was then able to lay the shiplap on the roof.



 

We laid an underlayment of tar paper just to keep the boards dry until we were able to add the metal roofing.

I have an intermittent fear of heights.  If it is something I am or have built, I do better.  I have to be a little psyched.  but in the right frame of mind, I can work and play at 40 to 50 feet.  



 

me at Philmont 2016, at 42 feet.   :o :o :o

I built new houses for a living, with scaffolding very similar to that, for I forget how many years until I accumulated enough real scaffolding to do a whole side of a house. Now I have enough to do a whole house, and Alum-A-Pole will almost spoil you, since you're always working at a comfortable height.

The first couple of years, before impact screwdrivers, the wooden scaffolding was put together with double headed nails.

While I had the scaffolding up, since I did everything myself, I'd completely finish one side,and then take the scaffolding down to do another side.  People would say that it looked really strange to see a house with one finished side, and the others still had solid plywood sheathing.

Your buildings look great!
