Pole Barn Information
Pole barns are easy to build and one of the least
expensive buildings you can construct. They can be used for general storage
buildings, farm implement storage, garages or for just about anything else. Here are
some of the basic questions frequently asked
about pole barns.
What is a pole barn?
Pole construction is building
with poles that are embedded in the ground and used to support the
walls, roof and floor framing (if any). The poles are normally
pressure treated wood and set in concrete. These buildings are
typically metal buildings for farm use or home storage.
Why select pole barn
construction?
Pole Barns provide an inexpensive building for animals
and equipment storage. No site dirt work is required other than
digging holes for the poles. Construction labor and material costs
are less than traditional building. Pole construction has high resistance
to wind damage and low maintenance requirements. These buildings
also lend themselves well to kits for the do-it-yourself
person.
What does a pole barn
cost?
It depends on
the usual things - size, height, style of roof, type of doors etc. Site
built and do-it-yourself kit pole barns are easily custom designed to
your requirements. The price for barn kits
are approximately 25 to
35% less than having a turn-key barn built. Constructing a barn yourself
from plans will typically save you another 10%. Buy a set of plans and do it yourself. Save 35 to 45%
