The state of Michigan has a lot to offer to those who live there and those who come to visit.

You’ve been talking about building your forever barndominium for quite some time, and now is the moment to make that dream become a reality.

Your house needs a new roof, and like other building materials, the options can be abundant. Asphalt shingles. Clay. Concrete. Metal. Slate. Wood Shakes. While it’s nice to know that multiple roofing materials are available, it can be overwhelming (and time-consuming) to research the pros and cons of each one.

Midwestern winters can be tricky, to say the least. Some states, Michigan and Wisconsin, see ample amounts of snowfall each year. Their residents can build snowmen or go sledding, skiing, or snowboarding. Meanwhile, other states have milder temperatures, and winter outdoor activities aren’t enjoyed to the fullest. Or worse, it’s too cold to be outside (e.g., Polar Vortex).

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).

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.
