In Reply to: Pole barn cost posted by craig45 on July 08, 2015 at 03:09:55:
I have been flirting with the idea of build a pole barn for cold storage, 40 x 60 with 16" walls and a 14" overhead doors. The prices were all over. Everyone had a little different idea how exactly the structure should be built. After they told me how they would build it I expalined to them how I wantted it done. I live in snow country and I have shoveled snow off my roofs since i was 10 years old and I am not going to build a new barn that I will have to shovel snow off of. Everyone I spoke to insisted on a 4/12 pitch. I told them that I wanted a 5/12 pitch so the snow would slide better, the builders were amazed that I said that. I aksed them what the snow load rating in my area was and they told me 60 pounds per square foot. I laughed at them and expalined that I am not going to shovel snow off of the roof. I told them that I wanted a snow load rating of 75 pounds per square foot and there eyes opened up. By increasing the pitch and load rating on the 40 x 60 barn the price went up $1200.00. I alos told them that the poles will not be any further than 8' apart.
Every year barns in my area go down due to snow load. All the contractors I spoke to said that I was one of the only people to every question the pitch or snow load and they all agreed with me that the 5/12 and 75 pounds is a better route to go in my area. I had one contractor tell me to let the barn fall down and let the insurecne company fix it....
