With only a team of 3 and our 19' Gehl Telehandler these guys constructed their walls and trusses in only 4 hours! Unbelievable! This 19' Gehl Telehandler is available at our Ashland & Hayward locations:

You can save some serious time & money renting equipment to help your projects move faster and safer. While we didn't get it on video, they told us they lifted all the roof sheeting up as one unit to the roof top instead of carrying individual sheets up the later, then they also used the man-basket: https://www.rentcarlson.com/ashland-wi/4-x8-man-basket-1 to safely work up at the peak attaching fascia/soffit/sheeting.

All material was ordered and delivered through Carlson Building Supplies. They had everything except the custom trusses in stock, and the trusses were delivered to straight to the job site!
