Coverall buildings

PaulNakamura · May 22, 2001

Has anyone built a Coverall building (coverall.net)? We are thinking of building a 72' by 160' on our property to use as a riding arena. Since we won't have an outdoor arena we will be using it year round. We like the roll up sides that allow air to flow during the summer months. Anyone have any experience with these?

Thanks,

Hi Paul,
I looked at those and they were about the same price as I could build a pole barn for. I think if you're talking about the same money a pole barn is a much better way to go. Resale value also, I was told anyway, was higher for a pole barn than the coverall buildings.

I was kinda aware of the money issues, there are some practicality issues that do make the coverall atractive in spite of the money factor. I just wanted to check and see if there were any horror stories related to these buildings. Thanks for the reply

Paul,
There are a couple of guys around here that have them and they haven't had any problems with them. The one guy that I talked to said he wished he had built a pole barn though. He said after he got it all set up he could have built the pole barn he wanted. That's why I didn't look into them anymore. From what he said they are a bit of a pain to erect.

Yeah I hear what you're saying, it looks like we'll be going with a conventional pole barn, the coverall just doesn't add up for our situation.

Thanks again,
