Barn sticker shock. WOW!

[bunyip]

We built our shed 15 years ago, 12x6x4 High, wall not roof, shed was $5k and floor cost another $8k, recently priced something similar and was close to $40k, I didn't realise prices had gone up so much.
Two roller doors that are 2" shorter than the BX ROP.

12' x 6' x 4' high = 72 sq.ft...... for $13,000 ?

$180/sq.ft.?

Mighty expensive small shed!

36x18x12, we use metric, 10 times easier... actualy it is slightly bigger than that as 1m=about 39", roof is a low pitch so overall height is about 16-17', covered in solar panels which keeps it cool too with about a 6" airspace.
This was bigger than the garage at our last place but I managed to fill it quickly, next time I'll aim for an aircraft hangar.

First rule of storage buildings:

There is no such thing as a building too big!

We also have a hay shed that is about 80'x40', never measured the height but my 20' ladder is too short to get near the top, that house two caravans, 8x5 trailer, 6x4 trailer, 23' yacht, one tractor, all implements, 30ton wood splitter and about 5 tons of logs to be split, a few months of hay for the horses, one 4WD, one car and a run for 2 german shepherds.
Being open not really any good for any other storage.
I discovered that rule of storage buildings many years ago and sadly have a wife who buys new furniture and can't bear to part with the old stuff and no one wants to buy it, I call it designer kindling/firewood.

Seems very high to me also (for a post/frame aka pole building).
The one outfit is licensed in VA. They are prolly bare bones prices, and everything is additional from roof overhangs on.
These are out of this week's "Lancaster Farming".

I made that one too big to read it all.

I would check around wherever you see a recently built barn and stop in for more names. Amish or Mennonite folks have these dialed right in in terms of efficiency, ie cost.

If your in a State that has high property taxes, too big gets costly.

I am looking at several different options. Red iron steel , some of the pole barn kits.( i would hire the work out. ). Trying to see where i can shave the cost down.

This is a well known pole barn supplier. I think they are based out of PA. They will deliver the complete barn to your property...you supply the equipment to off load it.
