Pole Barn Kits – Will They Help You Erect One Right the First Time?
on Jul 31 in Buying Guides
Imagine for a moment… Your significant other says, “I’m OK with you putting up a pole barn and I trust that you will erect it safely and get it right the first time.” Did I just hear trust and right the first time? Scary thought!
You have also purchased one of those do it yourself pole barn kits but will it help you get it right?
My friend, Anthony was in this predicament… he only had basic carpentry skills but had some extra time on his hands. He knew a new barn construction on his property would make for additional storage and increase value over time.
Hmm… a kit sounds good but is it pricey?
Kit prices vary depending on the size of the barn but the best thing is you are provided with all the hardware and a complete list of all the timber you require. This saved Anthony a lot of time and money as he didn’t have to guess what was required.
Umm… where’s the wood?
No, it is standard for a lot of do it yourself pole barn kits to not provide the wood necessary to build them. However, you are provided with materials such as brackets, screws and hinges – which is pretty cool. If you search hard enough you may find kits with everything included.
One thing is definitely not included.
Whichever kit you end up with, you will have to purchase the paint to treat the unfinished surfaces of your barn. Additionally, you will also require a stain or repellent to finish the painted surface.
Although a high quality finish costs more than a no name brand, you will extend the life of your pole barn and help retain its look and structure for many years – it is totally worth every penny.
Are do it yourself pole barn kits for you?
Like Anthony, if you consider yourself a do-it-yourself-er and know how to use a power saw and sink posts then raising a barn is not that complicated.
If so, then do it yourself kits are the way to go for you to produce a sturdy barn that will last a lifetime, by far.
Look, now before you go and purchase a kit, just as Anthony I’m sure you already know that there are many pole barn designs available.
Before you do something rash you need to review pole barn plans available so that you build it right the first time.
