The primary advantage of the pole structure is that the need for a standard foundation is eliminated. The building is supported by a series of posts buried in the ground, in a manner similar to fence posts. Another advantage is that a requirement for a wood floor system or concrete slab is eliminated. These features make pole barn kits appealing to the DIY homeowner dur to ease of construction and lower construction costs that other methods.
What Pole Barn Packages Offer
The primary structural component of a pole barn is the poles or columns that support the structure. These are typically wood poles or posts, but can also metal. Since the steel colums are stronger, they can be spaced further apart. In addition to the columns, most pole barn kits will include all framing for the walls and roof. Metal siding and roofing are an excellent choice from a cost and maintenence standpoint, though wood siding and other roofing materials are also possible.
Prior to purchasing a pole barn kit, it is a good idea to thoroughly investigate building and permit requirements in your area. Should a permit be required, make sure that the kit provider will also provide any necessary engineering, as this can be quite expensive to acquire locally.
Affordable Pole Barn Kits
The cost of your pole barn kit will depend on its size and construction materials. Most pole barns come with side sheeting and sliding doors. The cost will vary from between $4 and $7 per square foot. There are some kits that are slightly less expensive, but the difference in cost for these is often related to a sharp drop in quality – something most people like to avoid.
Additionally, many affordable pole barn kit vendors will offer financing on the pole barn. The rates will vary depending on the vendor, but you can expect to pay anywhere from $150-$500 a month for your barn depending on the size.
When deciding on a pole barn kit, be sure to find one that will match the space you are filling from a company that provides high quality products and has a good history of both good quality and easy to deal with customer service.
