I'm looking at putting up a 50 X 100 pole building this summer. I'm going to go with 2 double sliding doors at 14' tall which one will be on my south side and 1 on the east. Also, looking at making sure that the stringers up top are located down in between the truss's and not up over the top to reduce bird perches. I'm hoping I can get it put up for $7 sq/ft. I am not doing it myself at all. I'm just guessing at $7 but I be there are some better judges out there than I so I thought I'd pick some brains. Also, I was wondering what would be the best time of the year to put it up if it would matter at all. I'm in eastern Iowa and anytime between late November and mid April are out most likely. Thanks.

I would think that placing the purlins between the trusses would be alot more labor intensive. I like everyone else would question the load potential of the structure if not done correctly. I have seen a building done in this fashion, (it resembled the same structure used in building floors) there seemed to be alot more material involved.

I would think it would be less labor and stronger/simpler construction to place the purlin on top of the truss. Although, admittable I'm no expert, I've only built one building for myself (48x80x12) and I admit I made a few mistakes along the way. My building is primarily 2x6 construction (2x4 on the lean-to side) with 30x56 concrete pad, 1 10x10 Overhead door, 2 8x8, and 1 12x14 sliders. I screwed all my metal on. Cost to me was about $16K ($1500 was labor for the concrete)

I don't know where you are but in Pa. and surrounding areas Pioneer Pole Buildings will build a 50x96x14 with a 14x14 slider and a 12x 12 garage door and passage door for $28,400. That price is materials,tax, and labor. All you have to do is grade off the area and supply the building permit and sign the check.

Just got a quote here in MD for a 40'x60'x16' hay shed. Open one side. No grading, site work, electric or plumbing.$12 a foot. Contractors see you have horses, and the price jumps 25%.
Guess I'll be doing it myself.

I just got a quote this week on a slightly smaller size building with 12' sidewalls, and raised chord trusses. It came out to $9.00 sq/ft erected, including 150 ton of gravel fill.

We just put up a 44X88, 16' walls, for about $18,000 Canadian and change. Only labour ourselves was putting the posts up, hired everything else. We went with a 5/12 pitch which made the trusses more expensive, but cut our own lumber from the woods which probably saved us about $8000

Some interesting views here.With recent price fluctuations there is no way I would touch the price unless materials are to be ordered immediately. More interesting I find the talk of perlin placement methods and have a feeling that apples are not bring compared to apples. Some mention the 1 1/2" height while others talk of placement between the trusses. Think the comparison is say a 2x6 vertical above or between the truss vs. a 2x6 flat on top of the truss. Keep in mind that the 2x6 I mention could be any member that meets a particular design. I have seen pole building roofs with everthing from 1x4 sawmill lumber nailed flat to the truss up to double 2x? vertical above the truss or between the truss fastened with 2x? blocking, metal brackets or just nailed/screwed. Much of this depends on the truss design. Which way is the most cost effective or labor intensive I don't know.

I have 2 pole building one erected in '69 64 X 195and one in '73 50 X 185 clear span.

Both of them have the purlins on top of the trusses 2 X 4 on edge nailed in place with (I think) 40d or 60d pole barn spikes, might be 30d thought too but I doubt it.

With the snow load we get up here (southern mn), I'd be very leary of purlins layed flat or nailed in between the trusses. Every year somewhere near a pole barn roof collaspes from the snow load. Haven't seen one yet put up different from the above described.

Speaking only on what I have done, I built two houses and one large garage 22' wide by 50' deep with 8 foot walls with 7' high door, (I know I should have had 10' walls), but hindsight is 20/20. It cost me $20,000 for all of it. Concrete and footings (plus labor for concrete), lumber, frame crew was $4K +roof shingles, plus labor for shingles, I painted the exterior, one 16' by 7' door, 4 windows plus two man doors. I am still not done need to do some drywall and finish my workshop.

Price is going to vary widely depending on the brand of the building and options. I like the idea of putting the roof purlins between the trusses for extra strength. I think Strat-O-Span buildings do it that way using the galvanized brackets to attach the purlins to the trusses. The way I see it mounting the purlins between the trusses ties all the trusses together instead of just supporting the metal on the roof. Most pole buildings around here just have a single S shaped nail holding the purlin to the truss so it is no wonder so many roofs get blown off. If the purlins are properly attached I don't see how they could weaken the roof compared to running them over the top.

Mark, I work for a truss company in VA, the purlins need to be on top of the truss to provide lateral bracing. Around here pole buildings run about $8-$10 per sq ft.

Well, you might get it done for $7 a foot, but here the do it yourself kit runs a little less than $6 a foot. To have one done without lifting a hammer cost somethin like $12-14 a foot. As far as the perlins go, why bother, There's going to be all kinds of places for the birds to perch on the trusses and doubt very seriously that they will even try to perch inbetween the roof and truss (1.5"). All you'll do cutting up the perlins is weaken the building. Of course you could deck it with ply and forget the perlins. That way you keep the soundness of the building and remove the unlikely perchs.

Can't help with the cost factor.

But I'm wondering if any snow load is sacrificed with the purlins inbetween the trusses. Seems to be putting a load on the nails and chances of them splitting out under load would be greater?

Just something that ran through my mind. Might work with a lighter roof load, but would question in with snow load.

If low cost & bird proof are the main concerns, the steel arch buildings meet those needs. They have no perches, the deeply corrigated steel is it's own support. They seem to be the cheapest per sq foot in cost.

Depends if you want to insulate, etc. tho.
