Would like a quote for a 36x36 pole barn.. 12-14 ft ceiling
No walls just roof tin. On my level space.

Are you looking for a contractor to give you an actual price with just the little bit of info you provided? Or just an idea of cost? Any overhangs? Wind exposure (your building a big kite)

Ballpark with that little bit of info, $4-8/sf.

no contractor, just someone with some diy experience..... and the kit analagy is correct.... 2 or 3 sides tinned.

I built one 2 yrs ago 26x48 with board and batten 3 sides, steel roof, 3 open bays one closed shop, 8-10 foot doorways.
Materials were about $5300 and I hired some local Amish to put it up for $2000. I know fuel and steel especially have gone up since then. A local family owned supplier beat all the big box lumber yards on poles, trusses, steel, 2x 4's etc. by a good amount. Board and batten was from local sawmill.

Exactly the info i wanted...thanks Smiley.

ATP,

you might consider the 26x48 or something rectangular as trusses spanning 36' will be more $ - yes you need more trusses the longer it is. Depending on snow load considerations - maybe not in your case but this will also drive up the cost also.
