30×40 Pole Barn FAQs

A 30×40 Pole barn is a building made of steel sheets and wooden poles, hence the name. Pole barns became increasingly popular in the 1930s and were initially built out of telephone poles and metal siding to help with the increased need for large-scale, affordable agricultural buildings. Since then, Pole Barns have been used for everything from small at-home sheds to commercial structures for farms.

People use 30×40 Pole Barns for everything! No matter if you need a pole barn to use in the traditional sense or want to build your home out of it. We know a pole barn can meet the needs of nearly every application.

One of the most incredible things about a 30×40 pole barn is that interior designs are all up to you. Some people have kept their pole barns stripped down to the bare minimum, while others have made theirs quite the comfy home. If you are trying to find inspiring ideas to decorate your 30×40 Pole Barn, look at some of our interior design ideas.

At Extreme Pole Buildings, we genuinely believe that as long as you keep up with the maintenance needs as they come, your pole building will continue to last. A 30×40 Pole Barn will last 40-60 years.

A 30×40 Pole Barn will cost anywhere from $10,000-$50,00, depending on how you customize and choose to build your structure.

Yes, it is cheaper to build a 30x 40 Pole Barn than a typical stick-built structure. The most significant reason a pole barn is more affordable to build than a stick-built structure is a need for a foundation. The standard stick-built structure needs to be made with a robust foundation system which is about 15% of the total building project. Pole barn framing does not need as intense of a foundation, thus saving you money as the consumer.

A 30×40 Pole Barn can be built with three types of foundations. Each type of foundation has its pros and cons, but we feel that each one works best in specific applications. The three foundation options that we offer are

Permacolumn Wet Set

Concrete is poured and keeps the wood out of the ground and will assist in the prevention of rot and expansion, and shrinkage.

Permacolumn Concrete Post

The Permacolumn concrete post is a premade concrete post hold that will hold the wooden post and prevent direct wood-to-ground contact.

Traditional Treated on Concrete Pad

The Traditional Treated on Concrete Pad is the most inexpensive foundation option. However, the ability to use this kind of foundation will depend upon the condition of the ground on your property.
