Pine Tree Pole Barns in the South (Florida)??

[Skipper_T]

Quick question--- sorry if this is elementary-- but can Southern Yellow or White Pine trees be used for building a 20x40 Pole Barn? I have 5 acres in north Florida-- and I cannot seem to find any YouTube videos of folks using Pine to Build Pole Barns or any Barns for that matter...

Thanks for the help in advance and some advice is appreciated...

My personal opinion, is NO. If treated properly, yellow pine makes good telephone poles, but I think white pine would rot to the ground in less than a year.
