Pole barn, build vs kit

[paulsharvey]

I have learned some of my lessons, and definitely want 10 ft on the low end. I previously had one that was 6'8" on low, and 8 ft on the high side, and that was pretty limiting.

16x24 is pretty close to the Golden Ratio of 1.618, which is known for its aesthetic beauty and harmony.

So is 40 x 60 and much more in the size range we like for barns.

Oh, 100% I would like bigger, but per wife "I'm sick of your piddling, you're going to start on 7 things, and take 2 years to get it finished. How big do you Need, right now, to get the buggy and tractor out of the weather?"


Lol, its probably half, she doesn't understand "piddling" over relaxing, and half, she wants me to "piddle" on her honey do list

For a 24 x 36, you could conventionally frame.

Just a thought

I considered a pole barn. I called a place that installs these car ports. They came out and installed a 30x30 14ft tall sides covered the gable ends, the rest left open for $6500.00.
I use it to store my cattle trailer and my big CX105 tractor. It was a better price than I could get someone to put up the same size pole barn, and it serves it's purpose !

I have been told, that size stick-built building would be less expensive to build than a pole building.
