I�d say you are not taking advantage of how a pole barn can be built to save you money.

Really you need nearly the same amount of wood, stick built 2x or a pole building.

The pole building concentrates the wood into poles spaced much farther apart, so there is much less labor in construction, and some savings on the size (not amount) of the wood.

You appear to be intentionally choosing every size, spec, and material that discourages a least cost, most efficient pole building.

That is perhaps the downfall of an online do it yourself program, it lets you configure anything you want; it doesn�t suggest the best route to a most efficient, cheapest per square foot layout.

For example, why on earth would you want a 2 foot, or even 4 foot truss spacing on a pole building? Silly. Make it 8 feet (maybe 6 feet works on your small building too) so you get the savings a pole building will save you! You aren�t planning right to make a good economical pole building......
