If there is a way to cut costs and get the post frame building you’ve always wanted, who wouldn’t want to take advantage of that?

Over the last couple of months, we’ve been going into detail with our pole barn kits’ price and building features. We’ve discussed pricing options for a 24’ x 24’ x 10’, 24’ x 32’ x 10’, and even a 30’ x 48’ x 12’ (just to name a few). This week we will be looking at cost and building materials for a 36’ x 56’ x 12’ pole barn kit.

If you’re interested in building a pole barn kit (also known as a material package), there’s a good chance that you’ve done a little research into price estimates.
