I like this style for the modular/amish built barns. This barn goes for $15,000, set up and delivered in my area. that does not include site prep. You can get a lot more square footage if you build a pole building for that price, and finish the inside yourself. this is the exact one we want to build. The plans along with the full list of materials is available to purchase for about $29. And yeah its about the same price prebuilt and delivered to my area. Without the overhang it was $8000, delivery alone is $2,000. we should be able to save quite a bit by building it ourselves. Im going to look into pole barns. Im not very familiar with them. |

By me a pole barn is not considered a "permanent structure" so no property tax increase. Technically, a pole barn is able to be dismantled and moved...
Because it isn't a permanent structure I didn't need permits either.
As long as you don't add concreted posts, concrete floors, water or electric they leave you alone here.
Now, once it has been in existence for some time, people do add some of those things.
For me, I don't need electric overhead lights.
I have a hose till we pull a underground pipe this spring and even then will not have the water in my barn but to my fence-line where my trough will be.
Probably going to do the same with electric...pull it to and secure it at the fence with a sealed GFCI box...
I was going to do concrete under the barn, but not happening now since that is the favorite spot for my guys to lay down, rest and sleep...not so comfy on concrete.

In my area, pole buildings generally do have concreted posts in the ground, as the corner posts, and frame of the building. They are pretty permanent structures requiring permits, site prep, and ultimately electric, water, etc, if you chose to. As well, with those permits, come the extra taxes wag finger Heck, in my county, they wanted to tax us on a Rubbermaid plastic shed, Ridiculous!!!! 
Poles are sun k in the ground with concrete, then the wooden frame work is added to the concreted secure posts,
generally they are metal sided, and lastly, you can pour a concrete foot/floor if you want,
as well, electrical, plumbing, interior stalls, wash rack,etc,
Pouring the concrete floor usually comes last, between the wooden floor framing,
and sometimes people just go with dirt, or gravel, as flooring.
Morton Buildings (pretty well known pole building company)
are pole buildings, and there are several companies, nationwide, that build pole buildings.
We have LOTS of companies that come down out of Pennsylvania and build them in my area.
Here is my barn,., built by a pole building company.
Dimensions are 24x56, with 2-12x12 stalls, a 12x12 tack room, loft-18x12,
and with plenty of hay, tractor, manure spreader storage.

I have always loved your barn red.... that is still true.
If I had to do a enclosed barn, it would be a style similar to yours.
So many possible layouts and ways to use that space.
Shed-rows are great if done correctly and with ample overhang, otherwise....keep them!
A enclosed as you have, well the weather outside can be frightful and still it is delightful inside working with your animals....

Ooooooh your barn is beautiful red! Great property you have there!! I think a pole barn might be a little too big for our property. We only have one acre unfortunatly so we are trying to limit the size to a minimum.

Another thing I want to do to my barn after I get the stalls in is add a section onto it for sawdust storage. We have about 3 saw mills that we can get sawdust at. Then in time I'm going to enclose the front side sections and 1 side will be tack and the other feed room or hay bale storsge. put slidin doors in the middle section. Of course that is long term. Have yo finish the fencing first. ? |
