I had Morton put up my pole barn in Dec of 2016. Had a gravel floor for about a year and was not in the building much during that time since I do not live on the property where the building was built. After I had the floor poured 10 months later, I discovered multiple leaks in the roof that were inpossible to detect on dry days with a gravel floor. Called Morton and they asked if it was "condensation" I said no it was dripping from mutiple locations. They came out and made repairs to the roof along with a few other fit and finish issues. This was Spring of 2018. Fast forward to this Spring, was out in the building during a down pour and had 8 leaks from the screws all below the sky light panels. Guy came out with a ladder and tube of some sort of chalk right away. 7 of 8 were stopped.

Guess my question is has any one else had issues with Morton barns or any other pole construction barns for that matter? I had looked at Wick, Cleary, and pioneer before deciding on this Morton. Morton customer service says this not "normal" Not ready to throw them under the bus just yet, but am ready to remove their logos from the gable ends as to not advertise for them along a busy road. I understand with that much tin , freeze, Thaw and wind it is difficult to keep it all tight..... But I cannot imagine what I will have in a few years, They have not charged me for the repairs, which is a good thing.

No useful insights, other than to say that they are supposed to be one of the best in terms of warranty and customer service.
Hope they get you taken care of!
