![]() ![]() Hard for me to understand why more builders do not use them, other than perhaps not having been exposed to the concept. Using winch boxes is such an excellent way to raise post frame building roof systems. Mike the Pole Barn elaborates on winch boxes:įor those who are unfamiliar with winch boxes (aka truss jacks), here is the scoop (scroll down to the third question and answer): That way, I can build all the roof sections on the ground instead of just every other one?” I know I’m not making my question very clear but basically I’m trying to figure out if I can build each roof section with only 1 truss on each end then attach the inner trusses together after the roof sections are raised. Then build the 2nd bay, raise it then attach the 2 inner trusses once the adjacent bay sections are raised. build the 1st bay with the single end truss and a single inner truss on the ground, raise the section and temporarily attach the end and single truss. My question is if it would be acceptable to not double the trusses on the ground but assemble each bay section and attach the trusses together after the bay sections are raised? i.e. As the assembly manual says to double the interior trusses before setting them on the notched posts, I was planning to build and raise the 1st bay then skip the next, raise the 3rd and continue down the length of the building. I have purchased 4 small (2500 lb) wireless controlled electric winches that I intend to attach to the top of the 4 posts for a given bay. I’ve read your article about using winch boxes to raise partially assembled roof sections and that was/is my plan for my roof assembly. ![]() “My question is concerning the assembly of my Hansen kit. Reader LONNIE in COLORADO SPRINGS has some ideas about how to raise sections of his new post frame (pole barn) building roof. ![]()
