Just daydreamin about a farm. What would a 20 X 40 pole barn cost? Nothing fancy, one long wall with no tin. This is just going to be for cattle. Rough estimates will be fine, no need for too much thought. Thanks very much!
 
24X32X10 garage, 1 walk, in 1 slider, 1 window,$6176.00 installed. North East Missouri.
 
30x40x10 one walk in, one 10x9 ft overhead, rafters on 2 ft centers,
OSB sheet under steel roof, steel siding.
$10k installed in central MI.
 
Whatever you do get a local builder and check refrences! I got snaked on mine....rough lesson learned.
 
I had a 30x60x12 with 1 15ft slider 1 10ft slider 1 walk door 14000 in just the biulding but remember sight prep can cost a few grand depending on how much has to be done. I brought in 110 yards of fill along with 40 yards of gravel then add cost to run power, water and the biulding is only half the overall price. Best guess at what you described is 10-13000.
 
Doing it yourself or having it built? I just finished a hay storage building with the same dimensions,20x40 and 12 foot high walls. I built it myself and it cost me around $3000. 6X6 corners, trusses and ALOT of bracing due to wind load. I used recycled tin for both long walls from a poultry house.
 
Most lumberyards will quote a materials package. You don't say if you intend to erect it yourself; construction is going to cost close to what the materials will. I got the materials for mine from Carter Lumber; if you don't have a Carter near you, pretty much any lumberyard chain will give you a quote.
 
30x40 is right about 10k built on your prepared site in central MN. I've been told this size is the most economical to build? Supposedly the most square footage for your dollar.
 
We put up a 20x24x10 last summer in North Central Missouri for under $4000. I have priced out a 30x40 for this spring for less than that. Did/doing site prep and all work ourselves.
Ain't worth paying someone double what materials cost to build the thing.
 
I had one built by Cleary for this winter and I had too much work to do it myself. 24x40x12 on 10ft centers, with one 12ft slider. Tin on ends, both long sides open for equip storage. $9100 complete. Was up in 3 days. They ship materials from WI so are surely in your area. Good warrantees also. 50yrs on the posts in the ground.

Depends on your situation. With work and other outside commitments, and no help, it would take me a year to put one up. A crew can come in and get it done quick and be gone. Worth it to me to pay for their labor. At my other place I wanted to add 24 ft. to an existing barn, the same guys that built the original came in and pulled the end off the barn and were done with the new section and gone that evening. Being about about 8 yrs later the extension cost as much as the original 48 ft.
 
That works as long as the person doing the building knows what he is doing. My boss runs a firewood plant just up the road from a self-proclaimed Hillbilly type..Even called their place "Hillbillyhill" and he built his own barn and it took him about a year or more to get it up and the county assesed his new building as "No Value" and it looks as such. To bad building codes aren't inforced in our rural area.
The new owners are planing to tear it down and put up something "Safe"
