    So I’ve been spending a lot of time thinking on the pole building design. Now that I know I can span the entire 40 feet I’m wondering if I should or not? One big problem for me is the lack of substantial footings. If the building 40×48 is just sitting on 10 posts that would mean the weight is going to be sitting on about 10 sqft and that just doesn’t feel like enough. What do you guys think? I have a 12 inch auger to drill the post holes with. I could possibly open the holes a little larger and maybe get 16 inches at the bottom. I am planning to set the posts on a poured concrete plug to spread the load a little larger than the bottom of the posts. This building is probably going to end up carrying some weight!

    Does anyone know where I can get some poster board size 1/4 inch ruled graph paper for drawing plans?
