Pole Barn question(s)...

[lilred]

Who has built their own pole barn/had one built?  I'm thinking about it wondering what the approx cost is, who do I have to get out here to tell me what the limits are? My yard is 66ft wide and I don't know what the local laws are as far as how far the barn has to be off of the property line. I'm thinking it will be something in the range of 20x25 w/ 14' walls. Or whatevers close to that that there is common truss's for. Don't want to spend extra to get a odd ball size lol.

i  built a garage 28x32 i got 2 foot of block then 8' walls all insulated and fineshed with concrete floor.... just materials cost me $13,500

24x24 is common....post frame would be the cheapest...look at home depot or similar places to have a package worked up for you.

I was told by a couple people to never buy packages, they charge you for a bunch of stuff that you don't need to meet code. As far as size, 24 would work as long as I can be off to one side of the yard but not too close to the line. I have 66x600ft to work with

There are a lot of codes to abide by. Find out who the local building inspector is and make him your friend. LOL and your looking at $7k+ in materials. Back when I built them it was $7k complete and erected but material costs have gone way up.

24x600 it is

Package is the way to go, but there is no cheap route. Shingles are expensive, garage doors are expensive, concrete is expensive...

mine had to be 10 feet from property lines ... mine re 32 x 40 x 12   i ll say i had 10k into it    all steel

[mudboggincrazy]

u probly wont get away with anything but a 8ft wall were u live and i think u have to be like 10ft from any of the property lines but go to the richfield office and ask them they will tell ya richfield could be diff then davison twp is thats were i lived and we had a barn that we built back before they made a ton a rules and laws for them

i built mine 24 x40 with the doors being on the 24wide end  it dosent give ya alot of room  too get around  with  2 vehicles in there    too doo it over i would go 32 by 40    im shure more than one of us on here could figure up a material list    the other thing i kick myself all winter long is not putting  tubing in the floor for heat

whoever told you that dont call them to build it thats forsure.  All local building codes vary and the best bet will be to contact your twp.

Also ive built hundreds of them over the years and no matter what size you go they are never big enough lol

Craigs list! Buddy bought a30x40 barn for 2000 but he had to disassemble... Still wayy worth it!

[lilred]

Hmm. Well I hope there isn't a height limit, if I can't go with atleast 12' idk if ill even do it lol.

I have a odd size pole barn 43x58 build on old foundation with  concreat floor can't afford to heat it , what ever u do I go with a shingle  roof  help keep cooler in summer and warmer in winter good luck hey

[MR NASTY]

You can still do it but you will need to get a variance from the township

[BigFrank]

Hmm. Well I hope there isn't a height limit, if I can't go with atleast 12' idk if ill even do it lol.

in my township the height  is determined by existing buildings  soo it cant bee taller than your house or any other buildings

My pole barn is a 30x72 my ol man built it years ago for about 18,000.00 but in todays world would prolly cost about 28 to 30,000.00
