Tractor Pole Barn

[Geraldg6]

I’m getting a quote on a pole barn to store a tractor, trailer, and implements. A contractor is recommending a 20x30 pole barn. I’m wondering if I should put 3 sides on the pole barn or make it bigger. Also what kind of prices are y’all seeing?

If you guys have pics please send them. I’m wanting ideas. I’m a visual learner.

Talked to a buddy the other day. He got a 40x30 one large door one small. For under $15 sq ft

But they were needing to get it done. Company had a lull they needed to fill. Texwin

My tractor shed is 36x36 with a 12 foot lean to on 1 side. 36 foot is deep enough to park a decent size tractor with mower attached, and have room at the back for some storage. Each bay is 12 wide by 36 deep and metal only on 3 sides.

I built mine 40 x 60 then added x 80 and added now x 100 Make it as big as you can afford.

X2....a 20x30 will get small quick

Make it as big as you can afford. Last one we built was 30x80x14 with 20' wide bays & a 3' eyebrow on high side. All pipe & 8" purlins. Closed in on 3 sides, with the long side facing north. Stays nice and dry in there. Remember rpanel sheets are 36" wide, so build in multiples of 3, or you will be cutting/lapping.

Thanks for the input.

I just did a 24'x90' equipment shed, enclosed on 3 sides. Was about $15/ft installed with no slab.

I agree with the others here, a 20x30 is pretty small, or it will be soon as soon as you start putting other things in there with the tractor(tools, tires/wheels, racks, etc.) I have a 30x40 and its OK but would love a 40x60 now, with roll-up doors and a bathroom!

True words. My next barn will be 10000'x10000'. I don't know where I'll fit it, but I do know it'll be full in a couple of months.

Following this as well. This is all super helpful. Anyone have photos of their setups?

I did a 60x60 with a 10ft porch and wish I did a 60x100. It fills up fast. Built mine in 2020, 32k for heavy equip slab, 45K for shell, 5k for 14x14 insulated doors, and 2k for entry doors and windows. 20$ per foot. I am happy, but that sucker is full to the brim between boat, sxs, mower, farm chit, house storage chit, tools, etc.


Go bigger

[Geraldg6]

Remember this isn’t a legit shop. This is just a dirt floor, 3 sided shed. But I’m starting to think 40x60 is better.
