  Size Barn for New Farmer

Kangarro; No matter what the pole barn builders tell you there just isn't such a thing as a square pole that won't rot off at ground level in 15 years or less since real creosote poles went away. I built three of them at the farm, in less than fifteen years we were replacing poles,
with the same garbage, (the green arsenic treated things). the last two sheds i built are a concreet wall with a regular frame building with a shingle roof. The surprising thing is that here in Iowa, I don't know aboput other parts of the country a frame building actually costs less than a pole shed, labor included. the only extra cost is the concreet stem wall.
I hadn't actually figured it by the square ft. cost on the one just completed this July first till just now. Here is a breakdown. 46X92 with 16 ft. sidewalls divided into four separate rooms. One of the rooms is insulated and lined with barn steel, heated and air conditioned. the other three are not heated just bare 2x6 studa, full bath, single and three pahse wiring, 1550 sq. ft. of loft storage, concreet floor in aprox 60% of floor space, five overhead doors, landscaping and fill. Final cost, aprox. 88,000 turn key. total sq. ft. aprox 5740 including loft space comes out to $15.30 per sq. ft. Frank.

  Size Barn for New Farmer

Kangaroo; We are still pretty fortunate out here in the county to be free of most permit restrictions and codes. Long as you own fourty or more acres all you need is a well and sewer permit. Nothing else requires any permits or inspections unless it is going to be a commercial venture, that's when the smelly stuff hits the fan. Tell me about a steel floor in a shed, I've never heard of that. Concrete is almost a luxury any more that's why the storage only end (40%) didn't get the concreet floor, just 8 inches of packed crushed limestone.(road stone, we call it here.)Frank.
