Metal trusses for pole barn

[747driver]

Hey 747

I'm currently having a 30x50 pole barn built with these style steel trusses.

Barn

Looks really nice ! You building it yourself or a contractor doing it ? I priced 30' steel trusses here and they want $195 each. Where we live it is hard to find any pole barn builders ! What made you use steel trusses ?

I'm paying a local guy to do it. I'd love to have done it myself but I just doing have the time.

My barn came as a "kit" (no doors or windows included) that included the trusses so I'm not sure what cost of the trusses were.

I wanted metal trusses to preserve as much open air space as I possibly could to put a basketball goal in the barn.
