If you're still researching the prices of barn kits for poles, we've included our most popular kits and prices on this page for your convenience. Post barns are a simple, sturdy type of barn that uses posts to frame the structure and provide support. The reason I take the time to list all of this information is to give you at least a good rough estimate of how much it will cost to build your pole. What I really wanted was to go to Google and find an accurate cost estimator for barns with poles, or even write “How much does a barn with poles cost per square foot” and get a real answer.
As you can see, the size of the pole building I built fit right in the middle of the 30 × 50 of the graphic. Properly installed and depending on aspects such as location and maintenance, a pole building can last between 40 and 80 years. We've even seen a customer build a barn with poles and convert it into a complete car restoration workshop, with elevators for cars. One of the beauties of pole buildings is that they can be used for just about any purpose you need them for.
What I built was a building with 30-foot x 48-foot x 10-foot posts with a 4-inch thick concrete slab floor, 2 to 10 foot x 8 foot overhead garage doors, a 36 x 80-foot recessed front door and gutters. When building a barn with poles, make sure that your budget allows for additional expenses, such as the costs of furniture, gardening and signage. Which means that I will also adjust the total price of building the building to poles per square foot. This is a price chart for the Pole Barn kit that shows what buildings of each size are commonly used for and, approximately, how much they will cost.
