How much does it cost to build a pole barn and what kind is best..

[Reddogs]

As for the local codes, their hurricane level, but I always overbuild everything, so no issue.

Well, I built the garage myself till I got to the roof. Nothing I tried worked or even looked good, so ended up paying to have it done, which cost a bit, but looks nice. I just don't have the skill/touch for that part for some reason...

Watch some YouTube videos of setting trusses.

With trusses, it's hard to screw it up. Because they are all the exact same. Mark your header for spacing.....make sure the trusses are marked for purlins. (Some truss makers already mark them for you. ) Mark the purlins on the ground too.

That way when you are on the roof....no measuring. Just line it all up an nail.

Getting into overhangs, trim, facia, and soffit is where it gets a little more complex.

Like many have complained here - the answer to the OP's question cannot be predicted accurately.
Look at lumber prices:

(from Lumber - 2022 Data - 1978-2021 Historical - 2023 Forecast - Price - Quote - Chart)
I bought a bunch of 2x4 studs in early 2020, unbeknownst to me (at the time) I must have just about hit the lowest point in the market. They were like $1.80@. Same thing today is about $8@.
I didn't have any use for them, just like to keep stock. Later that summer, due to the lockdown, I decided to build a small pole shed, ~8x15, mainly to provide a covered area at the entrance to one of my workshops.
I already had the roof metal from a previous roof replacement. I had the uprights and most of the frame from lumber I had cut years ago, nails were in abundance. The most expensive outlay at the time was for the Simpson Strong-Tie connectors I used, instead of just nailing. All told the shed cost about an extra $100 from what I already had laying around.

After I had built it the "supply chain" problems started. This puts another complication in the mix.
At this writing I don't think anyone can predict how much it will cost to do any build unless they have materials in hand.

Yes, I built 2 of them, 12 by 11 for the cars. But first hurricane will blow then down. Too flimsy and the roofs have weak support. Will have to rebuild if keep them..

the earlier pic of the flat roof structure would blow down or be crushed by snow here. ha.
65 psi snow and 150 wind is the building i'm getting in the next month or so, but at 10x the cost some of you are doing this for. fully enclosed/insulated/doors etc.

Have you considered making it just a bit wider (24' for instance)?

I bolted them together but still has support posts in the middle, so defeats the purpose...

Trusses lift easy enough with front end loader with some chain and pipe. These were 4/12 32' span.

Can you post pics or describe what you have already put up?
