Imagine driving your brand-new pickup truck undercover, climbing out locking the doors.
The next day you climb out of bed look out your window only to see one of the main roof supports lying across the bonnet of your vehicle, with a huge dent to suit.
If only you had used professional pole barn plans then your roof would have been able to take the weight of this winter's snowfall.
Okay, I know that is a bit of a drastic story but building a barn to house anything is a serious business.
Whether you keep livestock animals or your new motorhome safely parked inside, you want to know that your construction is solid and well built.
Even with all the best intentions we are not total experts when it comes to materials, tools and planning.
Getting some professionally drawn blueprints is going to save you a lot of time and it will guarantee that your new storage unit will stand the test of time and hold the weight of that winter snowfall! If you are just planning on building a chicken coop or a new storage shed for your lawnmower, then perhaps you could work on your own architectural drawings and plans.
However when you are building something larger there is instantly more weights involved.
So you need to be absolutely sure that you're using the correct materials and fixtures.
Sometimes we aren't even aware that we need to use different types of wood for the upright supports compared to the load-bearing roof truss rods.
This is where an expert is needed, someone who has built and designed lots of different barns and someone who knows the best route of construction.
Don't forget that having some instructions that are designed by a woodworking expert will also ensure that you save yourself a lot of time and money.
How many times have you made errors on even the simplest of DIY jobs only to find yourself revisiting the hardware store for more parts or more tools? And how many times have you completed the job only to look back and think - 'If I did that again I could do it in half the time'.
One that is called experience and that's exactly what the authors of great blueprints have and it's exactly what they are giving you.
A good guide will tell you exactly what you need and tell you the exact order process you need to follow.
Getting your hands on some great pole barn plans will ensure your building goes up quickly, safely and within budget.
Not to mention that it will stay up for good!
