This is a large garage beside an upstairs (I think just about 23ft high). The contractor said it would take 3 weeks, we are presently in week 8 and the weather have not been an issue. When he come to start the job, surrounded by order to retrieve $$ (we think), he excavated himself and did not level the ground right. We presently have mud squishing into the doors appreciation to a heavy rainfall. All the way around the building, it is of late a mess and we know at some point we will need a retaining wall, however, we also believe that it would not be this discouraging had he leveled the site properly to instigate with. There are numerous other problems I won't dance into here, but I'm curious if there are any contractors out here that specifically do garages (pole) and what your process is in building them. How would they fix it? My husband is insisting they verbs out 2 feet from the sides and riddle it with stone.... will this solve the problem. Also enjoy an approx 8" stone ramp because of this...should we make the contractor concrete it?
Answers: Rule one of any structure, slope the ground away from the foundation. If you are chitchat about a true pole barn, next there should be at least possible 1- 2x8 treated board running along the bottom. This is a batten board. The gravel inside the building should come part route up this board with any concrete floor over that. Outside you can pile dirt up to half agency up the batten board(s), sloping it away from the building. Just digging a trench filled beside gravel will work IF you install a drainpipe around the building. It will have to be beef up in the front where on earth you will be driving over it due to compaction. Schedule 40 will work for that.You will still need the sloped nouns around the edge of the building. The builder be feeding you a chain of garbage when he said 3 weeks.
