Pole barn garages are a popular choice for hobby storage, and pole barn homes are still a popular choice with their clear span truss design. This is ideal if you’re looking for more of an open-concept layout.
Or maybe you’re an equine enthusiast who is looking to build a new horse barn. Whichever category you fall under, there are are multiple factors that determine pole barn cost.
These are the three factors that dictate the cost of building a pole barn in Missouri:
- Location
- Pole Barn Size
- Quality Craftmanship
Missouri is known as the show-me state, and in this blog, we will explain how location, post-frame size, and quality craftsmanship can affect a pole barn’s price in Missouri.
Three Factors that Determine Pole Barn Cost in Missouri
1) Location
Missouri had the sixth lowest cost of living in the US in 2023, making it an affordable location to build large pole barns.. The first step is finding land to build your post-frame building, and understanding your local building codes
To start the building process, you must do site prep and obtain necessary Missouri pole barn permits. For most projects, permits cost $200-$600.
The wind load, snow load, and soil bearing requirements can also affect the price of your post-frame construction project.
The final factor that could also affect your cost is the delivery cost of materials. FBi Buildings how has two drop lot locations outside of our corporate headquarters that allows them to be more competitive with delivery fees. These two locations are Princeton, Illinois, and Coldwater, Michigan.
2) Pole Barn Size
If you are starting to design your pole building, you may wonder what size pole barn or post-frame home you should build and how much each size is. Maybe you have square footage restrictions because of how the pole building will sit on your site. Whatever needs you’re looking to meet, FBi’s Project Sales Consultants are there to help you every step of the way.
Our most popular pole barn size is 40’ x 60’. You can expect to pay anywhere from $35 to $50 per square foot (for the building shell only). At 2,400 square feet, a custom pole barn would cost $84,000-$120,000.
Structural upgrades such as Perma-Columns, insulation, and concrete slab will add more money to the overall cost of your pole barn.
Design features such as multiple windows, stone wainscotting, mansards, cupolas, and sliding doors with windows add aesthetics but will also drive up your pole barn cost..

Several companies build pole barns in Missouri. However, not all pole barn builders are the same. Some only offer material packages or a DIY pole barn kit.
Along those same lines, the quality of materials and craftsmanship can vary. Be sure you choose a company you can trust, but having better materials and workmanship may cost a little more.
Keep in mind that cheaper often means lower-quality materials. In the future, you may experience metal fading, rust from screws, and possible structural issues.
With over 65 years of post-frame construction experience, we know you want a building built with quality materials and keeps the structural integrity of the building in mind. Below, we outline what is standard on all FBi Buildings.
