Pole Barn build

[406flyfish]

Add some nice aggregate to your concrete and polish it. I will never not do slab on grade with polished concrete flooring. Its the most durable and budget friendly over epoxy or buying flooring.

We were just talking about this. This is the direction we’re going with the floor.

I did that with my pool house, makes a huge difference for the kiddos with wet feet.

I will never understand the fascination of pole barns If you’re going to pour concrete. I don’t see any how it’s any cheaper, and certainly, not better, than a stick framed building. Some please explain it to me! Especially for the prices quoted above. They do get them up quick, I will say that.

There are some benefits to post frame construction in certain designs. The biggest one is that the building is what is known as balloon framing. This allows for a tall building that doesn’t require interior shear walls. They are not inferior to conventional framed structures when designed and built properly.

We’re doing insulated steel 30x24 w 12 awning. $17k for building (high wind) + $8k for slab.

Will build a living quarters in there til can build a house. We’ll see how the insulation works.

For what it’s worth I can vouch for MQS. You probably won’t beat their price for a pole barn in MT. They aren’t exactly ‘your local builder’ but they have local crews across the west who basically put up their building packages, which helps bring the cost down because they can get large quantities of materials at a time…
Two of my BILs run one of their crews. Don’t think they would cover your area though.

I am a builder myself (Deer Lodge area, and no I don’t want to travel to Ennis for work) and we mostly do stick frame but do a few pole barns every year. There are obviously lots of opinions out there on pole vs. stick frame and both options have there place! There are so many variables that it’s really not fair to say one way or another is the only way to go. (How fast do u need it? how tall? what is your snow load? Ground type?Climate? Location? What type of interior finish?) ..all things to consider.

Personally I think there is a reason they’re called pole BARNS.. great for a barn/ shop, maybe not so great for living quarters. But that’s not to say it can’t be done! Good luck

Man pricing has really gone up on those things. I had my 40x40 metal building with 2 big garage doors, 2 porches, a 25x15 bunk room with a full bath, kitchenette and insulated/heated cooled built for about $50k if I remember. In 2016

I was quoted $37k for a 35x40x13. Concrete floors, 2 bay doors, 1 man door. Only thing this price didn’t include was dirt work and rock. That price seems high.

Way overpriced for what it is.
