layer of sand or gravel that is well compacted. I recommend a 4″ thick reinforced concrete floor on a 6″ min. Concrete floors are affordable and last more than a lifetime when installed properly. Most folks will want a concrete floor in their pole barn. Because pole barns use post that extend below the frost line the save around $40 per lineal foot of your building perimeter.

Pole barns are one of the most affordable ways to build a garage or workshop because they don’t require a frost free foundation. The cost for the pole building materials and labor to build it should be in the $10 to $12 dollar per square foot range. This price for a pole barn construction doesn’t include concrete or extra items. Most of the pole barns constructed in Michigan for use at a resident range between 576 sq’ (24’x24′) to somewhere around 1280 sq’ (32’x40′) and cost around $10.00 to $12.00 per square foot for the building which would include materials and labor. For instance it’s cheaper by the square foot to build a 5,000 sq’ polebarn than a 30′ x 40′ pole barn. The cost of pole barns goes down as the barn gets larger. I can also show you buildings that aren’t even 10 years old that look like crap (technical term) and you wouldn’t want one in your back yard.

The steel won’t come with a 50 year warranty usually but none the less I can show you steel pole building that are older, they were built with high quality steel and done right. Well built pole barns will last for years (50 or more) if they are done right.

Steel comes in a wide array of quality variations in both thickness and painting process. Typically pole-barns have a steel roof and steel sides. When you’re doing research into the price of building a pole building it’s important to remember you get what you pay for. I’ve seen many michigan pole buildings used for hunting cabins or even houses, but if you’re going to use a pole structure for those uses I’d recommend installing a wood floor in your pole barn or furring over your concrete floor and installing a wood floor that way. While most pole barn floors are concrete, they don’t have to be. Pole barns can be used for more than a garage or workshop. People ask me how much pole buildings cost in Michigan and many of them are looking to find the best value in constructing a building. In warmers climates you can build a garage or out building using a slab on grade technique, but that isn’t so in Michigan.
