How much does it cost to build a pole barn and what kind is best..

Im more worried about what they are actually doing..?

Oh, yeah. That is bizarre.

$77k for a 40x56x12, insulated with full concrete floor. 16x10 overhead door, an 18’ long porch and (9) 2x4’ insulated windows. Snow guard, 6” seamless gutters etc.
Some storage, but mainly a workshop for the apiary and motorcycles at this point.
What kind is best? Probably depends on your needs. I went a little larger than I needed, and planned to have the entire floor concrete, because there is a potential I will want this for future business opportunities.

That's a problem, as all the heavy trucks and concrete trucks kept sinking into the black sand when doing the house, and to try and drive into the fields...ouch....

Also storing my tractor under a pole barn. I was looking for something to "mostly" block wind, rain, and sun without being a total pain, or very expensive, to install.

Found Sailrite - Privacy fence fabric It's 12 foot by 33 yards. It's what they use to screen large construction sites; durable enough it can be "reused".

Granted, my pole barn is "temporary" for a few years until I build the shop ... but I was thrilled with this product. Stretches enough to be easy to make look decent. Looks decent. Cheap. Keeps the weather out perfectly.
