- I built a 30x60 pole barn this year and turned it into the dream shop! The most asked question I have received is how much it costs to build a pole barn. In this episode of the Reckless Wrench Garage, I do a cost breakdown of the entire build of the dream shop!

Good man
Thank you sir
You sir are a man of culture.
He breaks it down know it all
Ty
For those looking for total cost $74,500. Skip to 12:41 for the cost breakdown.
Thanks
May God repay you. Your comment is a time saver!
The real one
Cliche, but not all heros wear capes.
Cheaper than a new pick up, nice!
I was lucky enough to be taught by my mother that the worst thing I could be told is no. In slc, a lot of old industrial buildings are being torn down to make way for high density housing. I went and approached developers until I found one with multiple buildings I got permission to take down. Then I went to a company that moves buildings and offered them a building in exchange for moving the other one to my property and they accepted. So I have a sweet 40x115 shop being built for my garage, along with lighting, windows, and whatever else was laying around that I could use.
So Go out there guys and recycle some otherwise landfill waste! Plenty of other buildings to save and a great way to fit a large garage build, into a small budget.
Dude, that's awesome.
One of those guys I need to make friends with and learn from.
Must have been a steel building? Pretty cool.
@@tomm1109 one was post and beam steal structure, but the one I used was wood, built in a way that it was east to dissemble.
Holy shit what a great idea!!!
Finally someone who understands how important costs are. I don't watch videos any more that don't include cost, that's just dumb. You did a real good job. Thank you.
Building a 40x30x10' pole barn now in NW Ohio. Best deal was $44k for everything to put up the building and concrete. Includes ~350 SF of concrete for sidewalk and driveway extension. No electrical, plumbing or insulation. Basic building with 9x9 overhead and 3' man door. Had the concrete company also do the site prep work and saved $2k, plus makes concrete guy happy to be pouring on his own prep work. They brought $200k of equipment and had the site prep done in 3.5hr. $26.5k for building w/ doors + $17.5k for concrete & site prep.
i live in nw ohio would like to know who you used...thanks
@@stevewallace6851 Yeah. Me too. Attica wanted $10k to prep my site.
We just paid $32,700 for 30*40*10 with 1 ft overhang soffit, walk through door, 2 garage doors, 2 windows, 4 in concrete, gravel for new driveway included, gutters in southern illinois
Where I live just the permits and filing fees would be 40k!! Then the property tax increase would be another 10-15,000 per year!!!
@@notnecessary7730 me too - new home permit is $100K ... where does that money go ?
I’m in construction and the fact you knew what you wanted helps the job go smoothly. Nice shop I’m jealous.
Knowing what you want is definitely the hardest part!
I wanted to try and make the video as informative as possible about the financial aspect for anyone that wants to build a shop. I hope this gives you a general idea of what something like this will cost and just one example of a budget for a project.
Willing to share who you used for the building? I’m in Texas also
Wolf Barns
@@RecklessWrenchGarage was the $30k for the building kit? Or was that for installation as well? Im still watching the video...so if you covered that then im sorry! lol thank you
@@RecklessWrenchGarage What part of Texas? 80-120k is the range I'm being quoted in central Texas (NW Austin)
Dallas area
I live in northern Michigan but grew up on a Nebraska farm where we poured concrete, built sheds, and if we needed something done we did it ourselves. I am a crippled veteran so spending the $180k they were asking to build my shop was out of the question. They wanted $80k to put up a 24x24x10 garage. Yeah the builders/contractors here are really proud of their work. I built a 32x48x12 for about $18k.
I have to worry about snow load. 72psi is the requirement, because we can get 6 to 8 feet of snow in a few hours. Lake effect is epic. I see the inside of your building and if you built that where I am, it would be on the ground by the end of December. I had to clear trees to build my shop, so I did that and rented a small excavator to rip up the stumps. Started running the chainsaw in the last week of June, had to wait for the snow to melt and the ground to dry enough to work.
Then I prepped the foundation, built the forms, and poured a 5" thick slab with steel mesh and fiber concrete. The guy who came out to help me pour it charged me $6k and brought one other guy, then the cement trucks started running. We did it in on a Saturday afternoon in September. Yes it took me all summer to clear roughly 3 acres of trees, stumps, and rocks, then dig the footings and level it all by hand with string levels. I got it within a quarter of an inch across the entire slab.
I picked the best maple trees that I had to clear which were the straightest, and used chainsaws to cut one side flat. Some of them are 14" in diameter, so its VERY overbuilt for the poles. Then I started building the walls. Hired two guys to come help me put up the trusses which I had to buy for $5200, and rented a scissors lift to raise them up. That took two days, and I paid those guys $1000 each to help with the roof, which took another two days to sheet with 5/8 OSB then put the steel on.
From that point it was all me. I built the sides, the sliding door, wired and started insulating it. Sheeted the entire building with 5/8 OSB then put on the steel, they don't sell the lighter stuff around here. Buried the wire to the shop from the meter 150 feet away with a ditch witch. I figured why not put in a lift for working on my cars, and I made deeper pads in the slab where the lift would be bolted down. I'm getting old and like I said, I am a crippled veteran, crawling under cars is not my idea of fun anymore.
I finished the basic structure in November, and hung the sliding door two days before the first big snow back in 2015. In 2018 I put a lean to on the north side so I could park three vehicles out of the weather. In 2021 I built a lean to on the south side where I can park six vehicles out of the rain and hail we get occasionally. Currently I am insulating it more and adding a lot more LED lights so I can see what I am doing.
This summer I will build a simple 5 car garage next to the shop, gravel floor, 22' deep, 8' ceiling, and once again I am using the trees I have to cut down to make room for it. This time I am getting a portable sawmill to cut the posts, and its going to be a post and beam structure rather than a 16" center stick build like most people do. Yeah I am kinda into old muscle cars, and I want another spot to park them out of the weather as I finish rebuilding them.
Then there is the house I built... with shipping containers with the same $30k building loan that I used to do the shop. I call it my two story burrito bag. The best idea with shipping containers is to insulate the outside with a stick built fascia otherwise the steel gets cold and condenses water on the inside. Rain and stuff inside the house don't mix well. Its all temporary but I am making it nice enough to live in until I can get a log cabin kit and put that up where the old decrepit falling in cabin is sitting.
This was a hunting camp before I bought it, but I needed an inexpensive place to live, and this fit the bill. Been a crazy amount of work though.
Its all built with an eye towards going off grid easily, because the grid is VERY unstable here. It went down 47 times last year, which is why I have a 7kw generator. All the lighting is LED, heat is a pellet stove, firewood, or the compost pile water heaters I build (sawdust from the sawmill and woodchips will make one next year and I will make a video series of it). I make ethanol fuel from cattails and tree sap, because gasoline is expensive and I like to drive old muscle cars with Pontiac 455s in them. Started doing that back in 2007 when gas was $5 the first time.
Along with the garage I plan to build a greenhouse so I can grow food all winter and power the grow lights with a small generator running on methane or ethanol which will dump the CO2 produced by burning those fuels in an engine, into the greenhouse to use less water and grow more food.
Inadvertently I built EMP proof buildings. So I am apocalypse ready... save for big space rocks or the Yellowstone caldera.
If you have time like I do, and some of the skills you can do this too. If you don't have either of those... best to pay people to do it for you.
You should make a video of these buildings, I’m in MI too and would love to see
Good Video. Clear and concise. I appreciate the cost breakdown very much. Enjoy your building.
Very informative and what a great building you have. My compliments.
Interesting , Thank you . A fine example of why it is so important to know what you want and at least an idea of actual quality . We must also remember that a building needs to be solid , long lasting and useful
Good information
I also went with option 2 but did a good chunk myself such as all electrical and finish work. Also gonna be building a loft similar to yours. I ended up doing a 30x50 with a 10x50 covered concrete porch pretty similar to yours with 14' walls because I also knew I wanted to do a loft like yours. Also going to be doing a similar "cost to build" video on my channel like this because despite having a pretty good idea of what I wanted, there were still a handful of things I did not anticipate and went way over budget. Mainly had no idea I would spend so much on just dirt work for the pad and trenching for water/electric. Also didn't think about needing gutters put on to catch all the extra water draining off the roof. Great video. Thanks for sharing and sweet shop!
Also, according to my local code they do not allow exposed foam of any kind. I was told if I use spray foam or foam board to insulate I would have to cover it in 1/2" drywall. That's not going to happen! As soon as I vent my sink drain out the roof and add a porch light, I will call the inspector for my final inspection and after he signs off, I'll roll the dice and insulate it how I want if I have enough budget leftover. Codes are very strict in my county:(
I'm about to build a 40 x 60 pole barn: half shop half dwelling. This helps. Need to learn as much as possible. Thx
Great walk through of the entire order and process. Thanks!
Looks like a great space. Thanks for sharing all the details. Doing some research on a garage build I’m going to be doing in the future. This video helps generate some ideas and questions. Thanks
Thanks for the feedback!
Thanks a lot for this. I've been wanting to build a 30 x 40 shop. This gave me hope that I can get it done sooner than I anticipated.
Nice shop, thanks for answering that question. If your trying to figure out why the prices fluctuate just take these pre-built sheds for example. I just bought a 14' x 28' with a base price just under $13k, I added double floor, complete spray foam 1", insulated 9' x 7' overhead door and the final price was just north of $20k. Then $5,500 for concrete, gutters were $950 (got screwed on this), $750 for the metal ceiling, $400 for the OSB walls, $300 for the insulation bats and can't say what my electrical cost (I'm a journeyman electrician by trade) but when I get time I'm going tally up my total cost. If you forget anything your going to know real quick that your way over budget so put that in the back of your mind right from the start. If your going to do it yourself make sure you follow all building codes and the NEC, the NEC has really changed the rules on these garages.
Great breakdown for us normal non contract experienced or industry tied consumers. I don’t even own a home yet but know I want a garage just like yours some day. Also congrats. It looks like a dream come true.
Data point for others. Pole building 30'x48' with 16' eave height and 10:12 attic trusses. 26ga steel roof with 12" overhangs all sides; OSB, housewrap, and vinyl sided to match house. One 12'×14' R16 insulated overhead door, one R16 insulated 10'x9' overhead door, double-wide mandoor and 36"x60" windows in each gable end at attic level. Poles include pole savers, and thr attic decking, stairs, and safety walls included. This built on my property $72K. I did all the site preparation myself - equipment is mine but I spent about $2000 in fill and stone, included digging a dry sump for the gutters to meet Code. I ran the electrical myself, and wire, subpanel, and permits totalled $1600. Currently getting costs for 5" concrete floor with thickened area for a future lift along with a 28'x16' apron in front of doors to connect to my existing drive. One quote was $9k for plain finish with no sealing on floor and broom on apron and another was $15K with hard trowel finish and sealed for floor and broom on apron. Mind you this is literally just bringing in the concrete and welded wire fabric and spread and finishing. The stone is all graded and compacted tight by me and I'm doing the vapor barrier. The concrete plants have told me there was a big increase in concrete cost. I originally priced this out in 2019 as a completed turnkey from a local builder and all-in it would have been $65K!! I wanted to pay cash and needed to wait another year, but then the pandemic... Same builder updated his quote and it came in at $122K! Kicking myself for not just financing the bit back then with pretty darn low interests rates...
The best comment you made, "One and Done." When I do something or have something done, "ONE and DONE!!!!!!!!!!!" No more problems or issues. Also, thanks for the pricing, saving up for a garage now.
Thanks for all the heads up !
I’m glad I got my 36 x60 built 25 years ago. The price today is about 100k more then what spent back then.
A mezanine can be built with the load bearing on the slab foundation, or reinforced areas for your posts. The attachment to the walls would be more for aesthetics or extra lateral support. If a mezanine is an afterthought for your building, you can cut squares out of your slab where you want the posts to sit, and dig out for a footing to be installed.
Thanks for making such a comprehensive breakdown. Want to build a similar shop of my own and expected double the cost you had.
great info FWG. thank you!! i'm interested in building something similar, so your video was more than helpful!
Love this video! Didn’t think a building of this quality would be so affordable! You have another subscriber in me!
Thank you for the cost breakdown, much appreciated.
Thanks for the cost breakdown ,congrats on your barn.
Great video. Very detailed and informative. We just recently completed a build and you hit all the major points a person should consider.
Thank you for sharing costs and insight!
Absolute best video on this subject!!!!
Awesome. Thanks for the info. Love the loft area.
Excellent video! Very well done and informative!
Thank you for the clear breakdown on the cost of your building project. Awesome shop!
Thank you, I hope the information is helpful
Nice video! Well thought out. Thank you for the info.
I've loved watching your shop build series. It kinda came at the right time for me and I just pulled the trigger on a building really similar to your set up. You convinced me to build taller than I had originally planned and I'm going to add the back mezzanine too. That is an excellent use of space. I've got a bunch more site work to do since my yard is not nearly as flat. Thanks for the cost break down. The only thing I hadn't the first clue about was the cost of spray foam. At least now I'm prepared for what it'll cost.
I am so glad to hear that these videos have helped at least 1 person 🤘🏻 going into my build I didn't know how much anything would cost. Good luck on your shop!
Building taller has more advantages than just saving foot print space. It is a lot easier to heat and cool down when you have two levels.
An excellent investment.
nice thanks for clarifying the cost break down i plan to build a wood shop of my own and this helped me out appreciate it
Thank you. I often wondered how.much such a building would cost me. Now that I have an idea I think I'll wonder about something else. But really, A great presentation!
Thanks for the informative video. I'm getting ready for a shop and you have been very helpful By the way, your shop turned out really well. Again, thanks. Dennis
Great, concise video. Right to the point.
This was very helpful. I still have to finish college but I am getting ideas for what I want to do
Very well done sir! Major kudos!
Been hoping you would do a breakdown on this, thanks!
Very informative!!!
Thanks!
Very informative. Thanks for sharing.
Wow, what an eye opener!!
Great vid, I am building a Bardno East of Austin in the spring. Were thinking 40x70 split living/shop. This gave me some good info to estimate prices. Thank you so much!
That was a great and helpful video.
Great video, great info, very timely as I am planning a very similar building here in AZ.
Nice explainTions and cost breakdown. Beautiful shop indeed.
Thanks for watching!
Great video. Thanks for sharing.
In Ravalli county Montana a 30' x 40' X 10' pole barn with inside 4" slab, one 16' x 8' garage door, 3' one man door, one 4' window, no vapor barrier is $40,500.00. This price did not include the dirt work, that was an additional $3,500.00 and had to find my own contractor for this. I had to cut into uphill side, about 6' cut on high side then slope and drainage ditches and was left with flat gravel pad. This would class as a basic build.
That was a great video. Thanks for the info.
Excellent info, thanks
Awesome video!
Very good video, congratulations
Man that's a nice shop. I wish I had poured concrete last like you did. I did that first and then started on the walls. The only difference between what you did and what I'm doing is I'm building by myself and half my building is block. Thanks for all the information. When I start to look for all what I can't do or beyond my abilities I have an idea of cost. Thanks for the informative video
Thank you
Is there a reason you prefer the concrete to be done last rather than first as the full sized building base? I am going to build a 30x50 in a few months so just trying to get some input before I get started. I would have thought doing the concrete first would help the pole wood last longer since it would sit on top of the concrete and wouldn't get as much moisture to it maybe? Would like to know your thoughts! Thanks :)
Very informative video. Thank you.
Great Video Thanks you for making it!
Thank you for tje honesty, great vid!
Thanks for watching!
Well done vid.
Glad to know I'm in the process of a 40x60
Excellent video!! Can’t believe they charge extra for base trim “rat guard” and colored fasteners. 26Ga. is well worth it. You did your homework.
Thanks for the info
Thanks for sharing!! You could get 10 guys together that built the same shop and the Costa will all be different. Don’t worry about what you hear online. It’s been that way for all my knowledgeable lifetime! I’m 60,,, almost. Heh heh. I think you have an awesome shop!! You did very well with the mezzanine as well! Really like the overhang/ outdoor storage as well. I live up here in Canada so we insulate to keep the heat in!! 😂😂 last might the wind chill was -44 C or about 46 below F!!! It’s pretty d*mn cold out there!! I’m retired now so my shop is for my toys & projects. Was gonna do a 40 x 60, but there was room to go as big as 60 x 80 with covered outdoor storage that was another 24 ft (I have a lot of classic vehicles, I have a 4 car garage and 3car attached garage as well,,,, 😂😂, still not enough room). The shop walls are 18 ft and the mezzanine is 40 x 20 on one end. I have all my automotive & woodworking tools under there as well as a bit of a lounge and 2 pinball machines,,,,, priorities!! Haha. My wife took over 28 ft of the mezzanine and the stairs are within the 40 x 20 as well, so I didn’t get much storage up there!! It all works.
I have 8 x 4 post lifts in there for auto storage so no special needs for the concrete, but it still 8” thick for the whole floor. There’s a floor drain for the length of the shop. My main lift is accessible from a side door and there are 4 - 12 ft w x 14 ft high doors on the front 60 ft facing and 4 man doors. Lots of windows. I buttered the walls with 2” of spray foam for a thermal break, then built 2x6 interior walls against that with R22 Rockwool insulation and covered with steel. The walls have 3/4” plywood backing where I planned to hang things out the cabinets in the tools area etc. Then we put a steel ceiling and R50 blown in insulation up over the ceiling. The shop is comfy with the only cold spots being the doors. They are steel & insulated, but you can only do so much with them. The shop was expensive!! I wouldn’t change it and after selling out the ranch, it was not a stretch financially. That being said,,,, I was my own contractor!! Gotta save where ya can. Saved about $35,000 CAD doing it that way compared to the lowest quote. Went overboard on the insulation, but you can be down in the floor and not be cold,,,,, which mattered a lot to me!
I am jealous of the Texas winters, but those summers!! I understand insulating against the heat!! I still have AC in my shop as well. It’s solar & wind turbine powered for electricity. You wouldn’t know it unless you looked close at the roof and out the back where the wind turbine is. The batteries & mechanicals are in a 10x12 room with lots of storage still available for my wife’s supplies. Haha. She tried to take over!!!😂😂.
You are going to get decades of great use out of that shop. I really like it a lot!! Great colours and you put the right things on like the rat guard to keep it new for the time you have it!! I see ya filling it with toys in your retirement!! Heh heh. Nice stuff indeed!!! Love your doors too!! I have panels for the better insulation values, but you don’t quite need that level and as such you get wayyyy nicer/better doors as a result. I’m a lot jealous there!! Very nice place!!
Great info! Thank you!!
Awesome, good for you, man. Love the building.
Thanks!
Good looking garage. I am doing my homework to get my building done. I hate paying people to do stuff myself. But I usually think I can do more than I can... I will be spreading my build over a couple years probably because I want to pay cash for all of it
Great info
Thanks, Good Info
Very informative video!! Thank you for doing this video. I know have a guide.
Moving out halfway across just became a reality to us. While out here learning the area from the city, hoping to save up for 100 x 100 x 50 . I like the flex space, the goal is to have enough space to maintenance long heavy duty vehicles. At the very least guests can park their RVs inside during bad weather or disaster conditions.
Thank you.
Nice shop for the price! Good job!
I got a quote back in 2018 for a 40x60x16 kit, no labor, for $35k. The built quotes were close to $115k. I think you did well with the cost.
Thanks man!
Thanks for sharing the cost breakdown. All in all, that about the price of a new truck. Not bad! Looking forward to watching more of your videos.
Thank you! I thought the same thing at the end, a lot of new trucks are this price or more
What's a brake down? And you go to work and hold down a job and are a contributing member of society? wow.
@@bwdd Pretty aggressive stance from a compete stranger with an abbreviation for a name and no public photo. What does it say about you?

That’s such a cool shop
Thanks for this
Very nice I’m envious good video thanks for sharing. God bless you and yours.
Very helpful video, I’m planning on a 30x60 as restrictions on lot. Have built my own buildings in the past but I’m no Bob Villa!
Good job. Be proud.
Gr8 information. Thnx
awesome, one of my favorite types of videos on youtube. I have a 30x60 as well, 14ft walls are a must!
Finishing up my 30x50x14...You're absolutely right!
Hi Bobby, in the planning stages of a building now. What is it you like about the 14’ wall vs higher or lower? Thanks
@@timhilton5096 oh man, the building feels twice as big inside. And of you get a 3:1 pitch, second floor can stand up. You won't be disappointed
Well done
Wait a great breakdown and why you went that route. Thank you for posting.
Thank you!
Good, interesting video. No faffing about -- straight to the point. Nicely done.
Great video!!!
Thank you:)
Nice to see you’re doing well my friend! Good advice!

Good stuff

That's some nice looking closed cell right there.
What a great video!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I agree on it being a Dream Shop, that's the only way I could get it is by dreams
We just finished a 64x30x14 pool building 2 days ago and ironically here is you and my recommended feed. Almost like my phone's listening to me... Our cost came out to almost the same as yours. We're in Ohio and ours ended up a little more but I feel good knowing yours was comparable. I will say it is shocking how much a pool building cost these days. I never would have guessed I'd pay 80 grand for a barn with nothing in it lol
so just with my work field i would really only save $17k so doing the concrete and dirt work myself i could do the wiring but not worth screwing it up and causing a fire. this was really good to know thank you!
Great building ! I’d probably be in there until it’s time for bed
