I finished my 48'X 40'x 14' polebarn this past January. When planning one of these as to location, it's best to allow at least 100' on each side for swinging room. This having taken into account the 10 multiple wheras you calculate the actual size you "need" then multiply that square footage by 10. This allows for the expansion multiple. This multiple comes into play when the building is approximately 75 to 80% complete and you realize that IT AIN'T GONNA BE BIG ENOUGH !!!". The expansion multiple embraces the 'neat junk' and the I'll get that project done soon' multiples. Incidious other little things like kid's bikes, lawn mowers, now I have room for the table saw, etc. are small factors with big room demands. So take all this into consideration. Auctioneers cruise the country side looking for older guys putting up BIG polebarns. LoL

I put up a 50 by 80 U S Building, 6 ft straight side and then arches up. Plenty of room, can park 750 massey and cornhead close to wall and still have room overhead. Not as easy to put up as salesman tell you!!!! All electricity has to be in conduit and it is a bear trying to nail anything to the wall.. Need some kind of vents, always wet inside. If I was doing it over, I'd put up a pole barn. My pre-tax .02 Chris

I would look at arch buildings ,we put one up and there was enough room to park loaders and tractors near walls .and they are easy to add onto if you need more room and 2 guys can assemble one pretty easy .

I dont know if money is a big issue, it usually is because I aint rich. But hows this sound. 10' side walls on 2 courses of block to make it about 12' walls with full concrete footings and slab. I know that a metal building requires a crew to build. I never built a metal sided pole building but there are many different companies selling steel buildings, you will need to look and see who is best quality etc. Roofing? (steel?) or asphalt shingles?

My vote for the Pole Barn. Small square footage price. Look up some companies on line for ideas, Pioneer Pole Buildings, Northeast Barns, Conestoga Pole Buildings, do a search and get info. Good Luck. A pole barn would outlast the rest of mylife.

If it's just going to be a storage building I think a post frame would be the way to go. If you want to make it last a long time you could use the perma colums to set the posts on. The perma colums are 6" diameter concrete posts that you set in the ground and then your pole attaches to them above ground level so the posts won't rot off. I think the perma colums are around $75/each but they would greatly increase the life of the building. If you are planning an insulated shop with a concrete floor I think a stud frame building would be the way to go.

With a building of that size, a post frame building is going to give you the best value. Properly treated and properly set, the posts will be good for over 40 years. If you're planning on doing the erection yourself, a post frame building doesn't require a lot of help or special equipment. All-steel buildings require a crew and some sort of crane to erect.

I don't think anyone is putting up 14 foot sidewall buildings of conventional frame construction. Too much labor, unless you're an Amish farmer with plenty of neighbors.
