This book is great. It has thorough, easy to follow instructions for various pole buildings, and free plans! Excellent for first-timers or experienced builders. Great reference!

1.0 out of 5 stars Ask Homer at Home Depot
I would have returned this book but by the time I paid shipping it wasn't worth it. There is very little in this book of use, almost all of it is outdated, tools and equipment, etc. There are much better books on the market. This one might have been better if it wasn't so old. I have been an architect for 25 years and there just isn't anything in this that is useful. Very...

5.0 out of 5 stars Anyone can build a pole building, November 10, 2004
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Monte Burch's Pole Building Projects: Over 25 Low-Cost Plans (Paperback)
I am not a "construction type person" (actually a pharmacist by profession) but with the help of this book I was able to build a 30'x 22' storage barn. The book was very clear on the basics of building a pole building and provided enough information to complete my project. I am 110% happy with the results of my barn (leaks just a little...which can easily be fixed...but I built it myself) and would recommend this book to anyone that has never built anything before.

5.0 out of 5 stars Everything I needed to know, November 30, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Monte Burch's Pole Building Projects: Over 25 Low-Cost Plans (Paperback)
This book contains pretty much everything I needed to know about post frame construction to build the buildings I want to build. Thanks Mr. Burch. :-)

Now, if Amazon would just let me leave feedback for the party I purchased it from, I would have that nice sense of closure. Damned website bugs!
