Pole Barn price

[Criss]

This is funny.

I mentioned 52' being extreme only because my assumption was this distance was a clear span, which it very well might be. But I thought 52' is a stretch on a clear span. Maybe not. I need to get educated if it is.

80' is the max span I have seen western Pa.

 

[HD FLHX]

52x60 is far from massive in my book, there are so many 60x100+ around me now they are starting to seem small

60x120x17 with the elusive Roll-Up Door.

Man. I ******* split my sides reading Kevins reply. I'll admit that I cried I laughed so hard.

Priceless.

And I got the pleasure of delivering some materials to a shop was that built about 1.5hrs south of my city, it had to be 200x300 plus it had an attached tool garage. One massive airplane hanger style door. They unloaded me inside of the shop with a John Deere with forks and duals. All his farm equipment was parked on the other end. Entire thing had concrete floor, I can't imagine that bill...

I **** YOU NOT, CNG. I **** YOU NOT.

 

[dlenkewich]

By the way, possibly the funniest part is when Kevin in his first post says "Don't ask me who built it" and CNG then asks him who built it.

 

[jayoldschool]

lol, my oversized attached three car garage has 16 foot ceilings. Would you like a picture?

Is this a Real Thread??

52 feet x 60 feet Pole Barn

With 16 ft "ceilings" that you claim . . . that would be MASSIVE!!

I'm not buying this post. Was that a type-o?? Are you kidding?

Everything you've said is so nebulous. This smells of BS.

 

[fiveohpatrol]

I'd say that's a pretty damn good price. I'm in Indiana too, and had a similarly optioned pole barn put up last year, although smaller. Mine is a 40x40x12 and it came in at 18k with a similar "installation" cost to what you said. As in your friend's case, this isn't including any excavation or concrete either, so your price per sq ft is a few bucks cheaper than what I got.

Hell, coulda been the same place. Mine was done by Davies County Metal in southern Indiana. There's another amish run place a few miles from them called Graber Post Buildings, and they're pretty much identical in quality/cost from what I've heard.

 

[2level]

Seriously, have you misplaced your meds? Yea, todays Thursday, I went to my buddies yesterday, I didn't have to go through a ******* time warp to get there, unlike the deep space I'm beginning to think you have between your cab doors. What the hell does distance have to do with anything Einstein? Let's see.....If I have to account for my mileage travelled yesterday to satisfy your interest, I travelled 196.7 miles. I left the house at 6:30 am, drove about two miles to fill up at the station, went to the Capital City to the docs office, left the docs and went to the factory that makes neon lighting, spent a few minutes in there to check on my neon "Service" sign. After that. I left and went past another docs office just to see where it was at. I took took a little drive on some backroads, enjoying the day, made a call and drove to the highest point in Ohio. While I was there, I drove down the shortest street in the United States, went around the block, then drove down the first concrete in America.

After driving around town for a little while I thought I would head home. I decided to take a left turn and go see my buddies barn that he had built. That may have been around 12:45. Things looked all closed up around there so I figured I'd give him a call. ******* guess what? He was home. His girlfriend and him had just gotten up. Had a cup of coffee, shot the **** for a little while, went out to see his tractor and his Camaro, then over to look at his new barn. We stood around and chatted for maybe 27 minutes, give or take maybe 36 seconds, then I decided to come home so he could get his affairs in order before him and his chickypoo went to work.

Anything else you really need to know right this minute? I'm going to start working on my truck if I have one. It's a red truck, a red Dodge, a red 4wd Dodge. A 2002 Red Dodge Ram 1500 with a 5.9 with a little rust on the back fender and tailgate. And I have some chrome tube step bars on it too that lets you step up on them to get in. On a good day it gets 12-13 miles per gallon of gas.

I have a garage too and it has what some call red walls, but they don't match my Dodge truck that is red, so I call the walls maroon. Outside of the garage, the snow is starting to melt to. The grass is green where there is no snow. Above the grass is air. Air's not blue. But if you look high enough you can see the sky. The sky looks a blue color. The air holds the sky up because the sky is a big area. If we didn't have air to hold the sky up, the sky would fall. If you want, I can probably take a picture of the grass and sky to prove that to you also.

So really....do you really need to know how far my buddy lives away from my house? Seriously? If you do, I'll record the mileage the next time I go there.



Oh, and to answer your question, it doesn't take a whole day to get there. Maybe 20-25 minutes tops. And it's spelled BUDDY. With a "Y" and not an "IE"

Funny ****. Got any nudes of the buddies girl friend? Would help determine if the erection was worth the $4k

$7/ sq. ft. for the materials seems like a decent price. Pole barns around my area are valued @$15/ sq. ft. But that gets you electric service, concrete apron and floor and a water feed/ hydrant.

This thread got better.


ROTFLMaO.

 

[CNGsaves]

Guess that the Indiana barn build company (used by Kevin54 buddy) might have been nebulous??

So here it is. . . here's why called BS on this thread.

Everything about post seemed "staged" that is was checking to see whether the oddball size of 52 ft was worth $27K including $4 labor (without concrete cost), all the while Kevin had just "been to the buddy/buddies . . . . house yesterday?" Who forgets what just happened yesterday? Had all the look and feel of Price Phishing . . . . ie Kevin checking what others in area were willing to pay for odd size. Now in retrospect, I think Kevin knows a whole lot more about Pole Barns then he lets on.

So My Bad that I thought Kevin was associated with Barn Builder (or is he?) and Kevin might be milking GJ for some free "market pricing research" . . . I now commence to EATING CROW !! Not all of the crow, just some as still don't know if there is a real Indiana barn company or not.

Got to thinking the above when Kevin54 posted bunch of comments on "Can I Sell A Barn" at: http://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=182333 Then I noticed that Kevin had put long reply about a picture that was NOT even put up by OP which was blklegend - - see 3rd post by Kevin which was #21 on thread. Then the 4th post by Kevin that "mortgage company doesn't care" on that same thread.

That's it . . . highlight of 52 ft and calling it massive ( . . really not, my bad) was exagerated on my part as thought it was clearspan. What was Kevin really up to, and fact that roof type (ie clearspan or what) was conveniently left out by Kevin. Guess we don't know . . . other than he gets REAL PISSED if he gets called to the carpet.

All fessed up . . . . ate some Crow . . . just hate misleading or dubious posts.

Alright smartass, you can call me a lot of things, but you call me a frickin' liar, I take it personally. And calling me a troll is basically the same thing, so maybe I should have called you ********.

You know....if you are interested in building a barn, I could give you the info I said I would, but then again, maybe your the ******* troll just wanting to cut out a little competition. How do I know that isn't the reason seeing that you're too ************ to put the info in there. But I am a man of my word and I told you as soon as I heard from my buddy, I would tell you who it was.

Everyone else has to promise to turn their backs so they don't see it before you do.

[ed_v]

I really don't see why Kevin's post was doubted. Does he have nothing else better to do?

52x60x16 is not some abnormally huge size. We have many folks around here with shops that big... or much bigger. Ever work on a large row crop tractor, a combine, or a big rig. It takes a lot of space.

This is a bunch of dumb bickering over nothing. If the builder is out of Indiana, a good guess is that it might be Graber. I know they built PurdueSD's new building.

Keep filling us in on some info Kevin. We would love to see some picks.

Ed

 

[Toomanytools?]

Wow funny stuff. I thought CNG was just being a bit sarcastic in his first reply. Like Kevin and him knew each other "hey I call BS give more details". Pole barns can go 80 foot clear span easy, 52x60 is a pretty good size shop. Not knowing all the build details I would expect to pay around $60,000 for that not including concrete.
So Kevin you just posted 20 yards for concrete.
That doesn't jive at 52'x60' and 5" depth that's 48 yards of concrete not 20 so someone got a great deal or a thin slab, or only poured half the shop. Anyway I think both you guys need to chill.

The barn company is posted above, you can call and check with them, although they may not want to let out the details of the deal for his buddy's barn.
You'r first post had absolutely nothing to do with the barn manufacturer, merely of the massive size.

Is this a Real Thread??

52 feet x 60 feet Pole Barn

With 16 ft "ceilings" that you claim . . . that would be MASSIVE!!

I'm not buying this post. Was that a type-o?? Are you kidding?

Everything you've said is so nebulous. This smells of BS.

See, nothing about who built it, just the size and an immediate call out of Kevin. Somebody you claim that might be trolling, a guy that has offered good advice and experience to many here over his 7 years of membership compared to your 4 months.

Kevin responded to a picture posted by someone other than the OP, common mistake, it happens on the GJ and other places on the interent. He gave advice on that barn (using his 60+ years of life experience) and surrounding area.

Not everybody can remember every detail of everything that happened yesterday, especially when you have other stuff on your mind. DieselGarage asked for more details and Kevin answered them. Kevin got the information you requested so his thread wouldn't be BS or nebulous.

His original post wasn't misleading or dubious, it may have needed a few more bits of information but that is all.

You're right that doesn't add up (52x60 =20 yds)but the cost ($4800) is on par for 48 yards, maybe its a typo and meant to be 50 yards not 20. (the 2 is right below the 5 on the numerical side of the keyboard)

You are correct... but I think you're forgetting labor. I think $4800 for 20 yards and labor seems like that could be right.

I figured the $2400 was concrete labor as Kevin said prior that erection labor (giggle) was 4 grand.

 

[Pole Barn Guru]

I stopped over at a buddies yesterday to see his new Pole Barn. 52' x 60' with 16' ceilings. I wish I had gotten some pic of it. He had a company out of Indiana put it up. And no, I don't remember the name of the company. He's going to run electric out to it when the weather breaks but not finish it off as he is just going to use it for cold storage. It does have a concrete floor though.

The company that erected it charged him $4000 for the erection, I'll send him a text later today and get the particulars on the other items. It has one man door, and two, 16 x 12 rollup doors, one at each end. Total price was $27,000 to build it. And if I heard him right, he said that was before concrete. $27,000 didn't sound too bad until you take the $4000. That would be $23,000 for materials. Doesn't that seem sort of high for a barn that size?

From the limited information provided, the materials should have been $18-19k; generally fair market value of labor should be about 50% of the cost of materials, so $27k built does not sound out of line. It appears to me the materials cost was inflated, to make the cost of labor look like a bargain. No one in their right mind, would do labor on a building like this for only $4k, even if they were working for cash under the table and were not registered contractors who have to pay for things like liability insurance, industrial insurance, bonding, etc.

 

[Pole Barn Guru]

............

That sounds like a decent price, depending where you live our designers step up to a 6X8 for any walls over 12'.

6x6 columns will not engineer out on a building this tall - even placing the columns 8' on center. Granted, they may have been issued a building permit based upon this, but rarely do Building Departments have anyone on staff who is truly qualified to do a structural analysis of how the building is to be constructed. For the sake of the new building owner, I am hoping the provider of the building has lots of liability insurance - and better well insure the building, as IMHO a good wind storm will drop this building to the ground.

 

[Pole Barn Guru]

I also thought 52' was on the EXTREME side

As for prices. I'm getting ready to pull the trigger on a 40'x60'x12' post steel. A bunch or extras and 65 cu.ft. of cement for the bld'g and l-a-r-g-e aprons. Including grading, 3" vinyl backed insulation, gutters, interior separating wall, 3 canister O/H doors, personnel doors, windows, etc. I'm in at $15.60/sq.ft. I'll have to pay for plumbing and electric outa' my pocket.

On this building - I see only two things I would question....3" vinyl backed insulation is going to provide next to no actual insulating value - as long as you are well aware of this and are looking at it only as a condensation control, then you will not be disappointed. In reality, a good reflective insulation will perform as well and be less costly (you might look at www.buyreflectiveinsulation.com). I'd also question using canister style doors as opposed to sectional doors. Most canister doors are not designed for repeated cycles (open/close), afford little or no opportunity to insulate, are costly for openers and if dented, can be a bearcat to repair.

Just me and my humble opinions here.....

Very few steel trusses are actually engineered, I'd want to see the engineer sealed truss drawings and I'd want a certified welder to be building them.

On a 12' bay, if they are using 2x6 wall girts set "barn style" (wide face to the wind), they will not meet code requirements (yes, Building Departments will issue permits for them, but this does not make them actually code conforming). The wall girts should be placed "book shelf" style (which also afford the later ability to use batt insulation between them, if desired).

The 2x6 "sill board" is not adequate in size to allow the steel to be held up at least 4" from grade, and allow for proper transfer of loads from the wall steel into the sill board. At a minimum, it should be a 2x8.

A pressure treated column should be placed on each side of any entry door and embedded in the ground.

The "wind bracing" tells me the steel being used does not have adequate shear strength to transfer the wind loads, or (if it does) the fasteners are inadequate to transfer the loads.

The soffit (at least along the eaves) should be vented. The ridge vent will not work, unless there is an adequate air inlet.

Make sure to get cupolas with a "universal base". Standard they come with a flashing kit which is generally 8 pieces which must be field assembled and lead to the potential for a roof leak. The universal base also sets the cupola up several inches higher, giving a much better look.

Steel should be fastened with screws which are not just color matched, but powder coated. Painted only screws chip far too easily during installation. You are paying a premium price, you should be getting a premium finished product, which does not have shiny screw heads from the paint being knocked off.

No mention is made of screw length or diameter. From actual full scale testing, 1" screws will pull out of the wood under loads far below maximum building design loads, also screws which are #9 or #10 diameter will create "slots" under the steel over time (from repeated cycling of wind loads) at crucial locations. This is why many older pole buildings will eventually leak along the eave line - starting closest to the endwalls.

The most crucial possible error - I see no provision for a thermally broken vapor barrier under the roof steel. Without it, your building will have condensation problems. A good reflective insulation, which includes tabs with adhesive pull strips, should be placed between the purlins and the roof steel (see www.buyreflectiveinsulation.com).

I've been involved in 15,000 pole building projects. Never had anyone who used canister roll up doors be satisfied with them over the long haul, other than for low cycle self storage buildings. Sectional overheads are really the best design solution.

Is the service door insulated, and factory finish painted?

Vapor barrier under the slab is a great idea, for the difference in cost to do it right, I'd recommend going with a double air cell reflective insulation such as an A2V product. A couple inches of clean sand should be placed on top of the vapor barrier.

If you really want to do it right, spend a few extra dollars for Kynar paint for the roofing and siding. It will have the lowest fade rate, far better than any SMP product.

Is the treated column warranty from the pressure treater (if so, read it, as they usually exclude columns used for structural purposes in buildings)? If it is from the builder, better hope the builder is going to be in business for 40 years.

Ask the builder to post a performance bond - they are not expensive and it is a guarantee to you of getting what you are paying for.

 

[Pole Barn Guru]

This is funny.

I mentioned 52' being extreme only because my assumption was this distance was a clear span, which it very well might be. But I thought 52' is a stretch on a clear span. Maybe not. I need to get educated if it is.

With prefabricated wood roof trusses, clearspans of 80' and more are very practical. 52' is not even breaking a sweat.

 

[Pole Barn Guru]

Hmmm $10.14 sq ft


What I want is 1200 sq ft or $12,168 at that build price.

I did get one quote for pole building with no doors or concrete for $9,600 or $8.00 sq ft. Add concrete at roughly $3.50 sq ft and $2000 for doors and I'm at $13.16 for that.

If you want to get the most bang for your pole building buck - buy a complete kit package, designed the way you want it, and then hire a builder to erect it (labor should be about 50% of the cost of the materials). For concrete slabs, buy the concrete yourself and hire a finisher (fair market value for finishing labor is 50-65 cents per sft).

 

[Pole Barn Guru]

52x60 is far from massive in my book, there are so many 60x100+ around me now they are starting to seem small

60x120x17 with the elusive Roll-Up Door.

If you are looking for a building kit package www.HansenPoleBuildings.com will provide buildings which are actually engineered for wind, snow and seismic loads and are going to provide some quality features not available from other providers. They are also available at the ProDesk of every Home Depot.

I'm guessing that finishing price is widely varied depending on location. . .I paid $1.50/sq. ft. And that price was lower than a few other local finishers.

How do guys make any money on 50 cents?

Depends upon the type of canister door you purchase.

There's a sheet door and an individual slat door.

Most slat doors are industrial quality and used on many commercial buildings with electric openers. If damaged, repairs are made by replacing slats.

I have an 18' sectional door on my house. It's always been a pain in my *** and blocks out lights when up. I'm on my third one in 30 years. First one was wood and came with the house. It smiled at me and had to go after several repairs. Second one was insulated steel, big improvement. But was damage prone, especially with the electric opener if the settings are spot on. After two repairs it was a break even to repair again or install another insulated one. I'm on #3. All made by Over Head Door Co.

I have 2 Over Head Door canister slat type doors on my shop. One 16'wide x 10' tall, the other is 12' wide x 8' tall. Have manual chain openers. Been on the building 20+ years with zero, ziltch, nada problems. Worth every extra penny I spent.

The slat doors are not insulated. Where I live that's not a concern to keep heat in. It would be useful during the summer to keep heat OUT.

Getting ready to do a 3,600 sq.ft. post steel building. I spec'ed out 3 canister slat type doors. Two will be 12' wide x 10' tall. The third will be smaller. Again, higher cost than sectional doors, but fit into my program better than the other monsters.

Hey MR. CNGsaves. What does the CNG stand for? Compressed Natural gas? I would imagine seeing that you are full of hot air.

Btw...I was wrong on the doow size, I thought he said the doors were 16. x 12' high. That is what he was going to put in, but he has 12'wide x 14'tall. One on each end.

Here's the pics. If you really want to know more, I'll give you his number and he can call you direct.

By the way.....I'll take a public apology anytime. Did the Crow go down OK?

Wow funny stuff. I thought CNG was just being a bit sarcastic in his first reply. Like Kevin and him knew each other "hey I call BS give more details". Pole barns can go 80 foot clear span easy, 52x60 is a pretty good size shop. Not knowing all the build details I would expect to pay around $60,000 for that not including concrete.
So Kevin you just posted 20 yards for concrete.
That doesn't jive at 52'x60' and 5" depth that's 48 yards of concrete not 20 so someone got a great deal or a thin slab, or only poured half the shop. Anyway I think both you guys need to chill.

Toomany....that is what he sent me by text. I thought it sounded a little shy when he sent it to me. I might make it back up this weekend and I'll take my camera along to get pics of what I want. I sent him a text last evening, so he snapped pics off of his phone camera.

Kevin,

Just a word of advice... Let it go man. You're one of my favorite poster's here on GJ. There's no need to get caught up in a stupid bunch of internet name calling BS.

Kevin, is that white with black trim ? You don't see those "traditional" colors together much anymore.
