Here in VA I get between $6-9 a sq. foot depending on construction i.e post spacing, roof pitch, trim and site prep. That height will probably put you on the higher end of that. Curious to see what they run around the rest of the country.

I never paid for a pole barn I always built them myself out of power poles they give them away here for free. Let me see if I have a pic of the last one I built. salt any reason why you don't want to build it yourself?

Salt this building cost me right at 1000 to build I am just showing you its not the best building but functions for me I had the wood milled that I get from logs that we cut when clearing or tree work . It has 20 foot telephone poles that are 5 feet in the ground with concrete and dirt with anchors on the poles. If you need it done asap yea 5-6k is worth having someone do it. here it would probably be 7500-8000

I ran across a polygamist compound while out west on a hunting trip. They would set up two (single wides) about twenty feet apart, and then laid trusses over the top. "Family dining" was in the center area...
Not sure how much snow load all that would hold. Containers sound better.

In my area the competition on barns has skyrockets and the cost has dropped from what it was 5 years ago. It seems every day I see a sign or an advertisement for a new barn builder. the ones I know will do a barn in 2 days. Day 1 material delivered and post set. day 2 they set trusses and purlins and attach metal. most crews have 4 to 5 people on them. I sold metal to one of the first ones in our area and they would do 3 to four barns a week.

I have one of these, its about 10 yrs old now. I have seriously thought about buying 2 of these and spacing the containers out to right footage and mounting them in between the containers. I could weld a rail to mount the carport to the containers and buy the cheap ones and so the eve would stick up 13' or so. I could use the carport to build the eves off of and add more tin to extend over the containers. Its the cheapest way out. Sky, they sell for 595.00 and 695.00 down here, installedskyhightree1":2n6npsb2 said:These are another option for you maybe this is a 18x21 1000 bucks

Salt the cheap ones here are the same price... those probably are not certified units with the cheaper thin metal if you go the carport route I would suggest making sure you get certified units.

Mobile home anchors if I remember I'll take a pic of how they anchored it and post it
This is what I have for my Tractor shed, I added 5" wood round posts lag screwed to each vertical leg to keep it in place. Works well for me.skyhightree1":2t23oiqe said:These are another option for you maybe this is a 18x21 1000 bucks
