I don't know why, but I thought someone put a post on here about the polebarn they built.

It was actually more like a "garage", approx. 2 to 2 and a half car garage.

But what interested me was the material cost- which was just over $2000.00.

Does anyone remember who (or where) did that post?

It could have been up to 2 years ago (unfortunately).

Anyways, I would like to repeat what he did if possible for that price.

Thanks in advance for any help with locating the post.

2K? Hmmm... Poles, metal siding and roofing... Lean To Design No floor (dirt) Maybe 2K...

I have one, I think the kit cost the previous owner like 12K with roofing, no siding, no doors, no floor (cover for a 5th wheel).

Hear is a link to a pole building builder in my area that includes some erected prices. Obviously building codes and labor rates vary around the country so you need to check suppliers in your area.

Woodlandfarms, no, I distinctly remember just over 2K, and fully enclosed. Whoever it was, he did all the labor.

Man! I wish I would have bookmarked that. Getting slow in my old age.

When you find it let me know. 2K for storage is brilliant. Heck, you can't get a used cargo container...

The only one I remember is Fourteen's Morton building. That was a sweet garage but I'm sure it was waaaaaay over 2K.

I am in the middle of building a two story storage and workshop with an attached RV shed. In material cost alone I have about $8,000 in it so far including the concrete foundation. When finished I am expecting $12K. Good luck with anything of any size for $2K. My workshop is 14 x 34 and the RV roof is 20 x 42.

Da Bear, aren't you being a bit too brave by putting your trailer in there unfinished? One dropped hammer.....

But it looks really nice. Whats the deal with the two story shop/office?

Yes, I have, but I must not be using the right search info.

Da bear, nice job!

MR, I posted this same message on "Projects" and "Build it yourself", but I don't see my Thread/Post on either one of those. Is there some reason a moderator would have not let them post, or not go through?

I know you guys think I am nuts or off my rocker, but I am sure it was what I saw, just over 2K. That is why it has stuck in my mind for so long.

Btw, I have not had a drink since I was 19 years old, and have never done drugs! (Though I am a King James Bible believer, and many people think that is a reason to put me in a rubber room ;-)
