wife is wanting a pole barn. i asked about them a while back here and now it seems time to build one or get one built.. probably get one built since the time of year right now is to be on the water and not slinging a hammer... i have a few questions though. i still may build it so want to ask some questions from the builders or people in the know. my wife is wanting the typical barn look with a clean walkway about 12 ft wide and tall eaves with a lean too off each side about ten feet. im thinking something in the 36wx30l total size so that was i can have 6 total bays/stalls, tack room 10X10 with the middle open to walk a horse through. i am leaning to getting the pole barn built with just the 36 ft wide metal trusses and it wont look like a traditional barn but will work and i think be cheaper. the floor is going to be concrete so i will not have to have the 6x6s in the center and will just frame up the stalls/rooms like on a house. these are my thoughts though.. and i am green when it comes to this kind of stuff. any ideas or thoughts on what i suggested... my father in law wants me to use wooden trusses or rafter or what ever they are called since he said it may be a little cheaper but looks like to me it will be more work. do you think that i need 6x6s on the inside of the barn to build off of instead of shooting the stalls to the concrete and tieing to the trusses? any insight would be greatly appreciated on building, what to do, what not to do, what to look for??

not exactly like this but the overall look.

and no selling horses is not an option.. as much as i would love too.

Look at maderightbuildings.com


Image is similar to what u want.



I had a 30x30 concrete floor, 14x30 lean to, 10x12 door, and 1 man door built for 13,500. Mine is Not the one in the picture. Just something for price reference.

Is yours similar to this one?

The is is my building. I paid 13,500 for everything. I had the pad built already.

thanks I just sent an email on the made right buildings. looks like everything is made with the steel trusses now so I guess that's the way to go..

When you talk with them, just know they still have some wiggle room. I got 3 quotes for my building 13.5k, 18.5k, and 21k. Those were with a 12ft lean to. I asked made right about a 14ft lean and she quoted around 14k. Then told me if I found someone cheaper to call back and they would compete. I waited 30 minutes and called back. I told them if I could get my building with the 14ft lean instead of the 12ft for 13.5k that I would go ahead and buy from them. She had to ask and called me back in 5 minutes and the deal was done. I pm'd you my cellphone number.

Biscuit. When i talk to them I’ll touch base with you with any questions I may have. It sounds like you are happy with there product. I found some one that would build a 36x40 pole barn for 6000 and then I could finish it with the stalls and sides like I want but don’t really want to.
