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. This will also be our last pole barn kit break down (unless we decide to add more to our material package options).

As Midwesterners, we take several precautions to prepare ourselves for heavy snowfall, ice accumulation, and blustery winds.

It’s no surprise that pole barn kits are becoming more popular. They’re an easy option to choose for someone who is interested in building a pole barn but doesn’t want to spend a lot of money, or even for those who enjoy tackling DIY projects on their own time. Not only that, they’re almost readily available at your larger home improvement stores (think Menards, Lowes, etc.) or through your local post frame builder. However, the main difference will be the quality of materials that make up your material package.
