I wasn’t sure what a Pole barn was at first. I think it’s a utilitarian way of getting a barn to live in cheap. You need a lot of insulation as the roof is steel. Thats if you want to live in it of course and I do. You can get off the shelf p0le barn house designs quite cheaply, but the bespoke ones cost more.
Make sure you put the barn on a concrete slab. I looked at the ranch style barn which was quite good.The walls are not made from boards like in a regular house, but from 6 inch poles and so uses less lumber and is cheaper.
Make sure the design of the barn is State certified and meets all lega requirements. You can self build the barn although best to get specialists in a do it properly. I worked on one barn with a solar powered drill, it’s good that the barn has a low carbon emmision or footprint or whatever.
