How far away and how wide of loads can you move between your place and there?

 

I would look in lanc farming. They have the basic prices for alot of buildings listed in there as installed on a level lot. ADDERS like spouting, gable overhangs, extra doors, ridge vent, windows all add up quick.

You might want to call down to A.B Martin in Ephrata or Graber Supply down in Gap area. Either one can supply you a pole barn "Kit". Both these places are very competitively priced. That would give you an idea of what the material would cost to buy new. Then just back out what the savings is worth to have 5 year old materials, and what your labor is worth to move it...I would think it would have to go pretty darn cheap to be worth all the work...

 

It's not exact, but I'm pricing a 36x112x14 tin on 3 side and one long side open with 14' bays. No overhang, set on concrete pillars, and little/no other add-ons. Price is ranging from $25,8xx-$26,2xx put up. One of the prices is from the Graber clan that was mentioned by PaMike...maybe it's just a common Amish name?

My neighbor downriver from me raved about what a deal he got on a trussed building about that size.....his wife told my wife when they got done with tear down, moving, and erection that they could have had a new one built.

Around here that stuff sells for way too much. If you have to pay labor for tear down and re-erect, I don't think you'll be all that happy. Buy used trusses at the annual auction or at Marion, buy #2 or discount list steel from AB Martin and you could possibly come out ahead.

 

About 20 miles, some back roads and some two lane state roads. I think the trusses would be the only thing that would be oversize.

There is a big A.B. Martin location about 10 miles from me. I didn't realize they were in other locations as well. I was going to give them a call tomorrow. My guess is that it would take about $18-20K to buy material to build similar.

It certainly wouldn't surprise me if it brings plenty HiTech. It always seems when I wait around at a sale expecting I might get a buy, I go home empty handed and disappointed in the time I lost.

Vol, there is a really really nice 1590 at this sale too.

 

Keep us posted on auction results whether you are the winner or not!!

 

Have seen builders using the 3 bonded 2x6 instead of posts. They claim it is stronger/better.

 

Call Fetterville for quality/price.

 

what brand is is it? That will tell how good the materials were to start with,lot of junk buildings with poor quality trusses. Most of my pole barns are on 9' trusses and I have both 6x6 and 3 2x6 laminated both have held up well.

 

Morton building 60 x 100 16 wall is about 70k. 3 sided.

Are the sheets screwed or nailed?

 

I used to do building design, the 3 ply 2x6 columns are stronger than 6x6. You would have to get the building for pennies on the dollar to make it worth your while. There is not much margin in the pole building industry and if you're going to disassemble the roof I'd be concerned about getting it put up without leaks. Just my 2cents. Good luck to you.

 

.10 on the dollar....still may get hung....

 

Here on wide roads that would be an easy move. We would just take of the tin off every 20' and cut the purlins. Five twenty foot sections, take it down in a day with a picker. When i build them here i assemble the trusses on the ground in 12' sections and put them up with a tractor as long as they are 18 ft or less high, and no more than 40 feet wide.

 

50 by 100 by 16 for us was $30,000 built by feeterville. But that was 14 years ago. It also had steel on all four sides with sliders on the Gable ends

 

Vol, there is a really really nice 1590 at this sale too.

10 foot? What year?

I just saw in lanc farming a 40x100x16 is about $25k..thats a real base model, but probably about equal to your shed with the open sides...

15 foot. 2012 model.

That's higher $ than I would have thought for just material. It doesn't get much more basic than this one. No windows, no doors, tin on one long side and one end. My actual preference would be to have the bay openings on the long side, not the end like this one. It may take some extra header lumber to reconstruct it that way, so that would further add to the cost.

Not sure on the brand. Didn't see any branding on it.

Tin is all screwed.

endrow, that sounds like a good price, and I'd actually prefer the extra width.

 

When they built the addition on my barn they used the 3 2x6 posts. They are laminated (glued) together and the bottom section of the post that goes in the ground is made with treated lumber while the rest is untreated.

After having helped move a greenhouse that my family bought, I would be reluctant to take down and move the building. It was a lot of work... and the greenhouse was designed to be bolted together, not nailed and screwed. We never did get it completely reassembled, the electronic control board still isn't completely hooked up, but we only use it for storage now, so it doesn't matter. Trying to get everything to line up again will be a pain.

 

Have seen builders using the 3 bonded 2x6 instead of posts. They claim it is stronger/better.

Supposedly they will last longer in the ground as more treatment makes it to the center of a 2x6 than a 4 or 6x6.

Pretty much our opinion on used grain bins anymore, unless your practically getting it free, by time you tear it down, buy all new bolts to erect it again and the labor, just buy new and be done with it.

 

No, the price I stated was erected..that being said they can throw those barns up in a couple days...

I would go and bid on it and see if you can get it for dirt...or just leave a bid with the auctioneer if you don't want to wait all day..

my building 50 by 100 was put up the inch by the insurance company to replace an old Bank bar Lost in fire that I really didn't have a lot of insurance on. The building they put up had something in common you just mentioned it had no overhang. I would never build a building again that had no overhang

 

Supposedly they will last longer in the ground as more treatment makes it to the center of a 2x6 than a 4 or 6x6.

I would not use 4x6's as primary barn posts. They'll work, but I find them to be barely up to the task.
While 3 2x6's also present more grain angles than a single piece of lumber and therefore stronger, but remember, 3 2x6's are only 4&1/2" thick, where a 6x6 is 5&1/2 inches thick.

I have used .80 CCA treated posts (used in brackish water) if conditions are demanding below ground or for piers.
The downside of 3 2x6 is the labor needed to spike or bolt them together. That's pretty time consuming in a business where just having a crew on a job for 4-6 extra hours is a lot of money.

I have a huge treated lumber plant just 20 miles from me. They have a lot of not commonly available sizes and lengths you can't easily find in most places.
