Price to build the walls is $9,200. I talked to a local lumber yard and they gave me a price of $5,385 for 4' OC trusses, the steel roof, and all the little extra pieces. Still need to find labor cost to set the trusses. In all, this is less expensive than a 24x40 pole barn we've had quoted...

Thanks Bill. What about ridge vents, "double bubble", etc? I don't want condensation dripping on stuff all day. What features are vital and which ones are more optional? I feel like if I ask the lumber yard that, they say everything is important. It's like asking a car salesmen what is...

I probaby ment 4/12... I should have said "standard" as I wasn't positive when I wrote that. :) Thanks for the input!

Don't mean to be "that guy" because nobody likes "that guy" but I did mention mid michigan. I will certainly update my profile though too. Thanks for the heads up!

We're looking to build a 36x60x10 barn. We already have a footer in place and received a good quote to build the barn out of cinder block. We already had a 60 ft wall in place. Long story so I'll just leave it at that. Now, I need trusses and a roof. Do I go 24" OC or 48" on OC trusses...

The footer is a wall that goes "6 to 8 feet deep" according to my neighbor who grew up in our house. I've dug down and I know the footer goes at least 46". There is no slab, it is currently a gravel floor.

So we bought a country home with a nice 36x60 footer. There was two 60' cinder block walls. I thought cool! Throw up the other two ends and get a roof on it! Well, the winter came and knocked over one wall. Turns out there was no rebar or other support into the footer. I have to assume...
