30x50 Pole Barn Kit

A 30x50 pole barn kit adds ten feet to the popular 30x40, and that ten feet buys you a shop that does not have to share space with the vehicles. It is the size people wish they had built when they started with a 30x40.

What moves the price

  • Eave heightTaller walls mean longer columns, more steel and bigger doors.
  • Doors and windowsCount and size of overhead doors is often the biggest single swing.
  • Snow and wind loadsHigh-snow and high-wind counties need heavier trusses and tighter spacing.
  • Steel and finishesWoodgrain or textured steel, stone wainscot and pre-finished siding.
  • Porches and lean-tosCovered space on a sidewall adds cost, but far less than more building.
  • Insulation and linerInterior liner panels and insulation packages for heated space.

What people build with a 30x50

  • Workshop plus parking in one building
  • Boat, camper and equipment storage
  • Contractor shop with material storage
  • Four-vehicle garage

Sizing notes from the field

  1. Partition a 30x20 insulated shop at one end and keep 30x30 of cold storage at the other.
  2. A 12 ft eave is typical; choose 14 ft for 12 ft doors or taller equipment.
  3. Put a large overhead door on the endwall for pull-through access to a trailer or boat.
  4. Longer buildings benefit from extra sidewall windows for daylight in the shop end.

30x50 kit questions.

How much does a 30x50 pole barn kit cost?

Industry-wide, shell-kit materials for a 30x50x12 typically run $22,000 to $55,000, depending on eave height, doors, insulation, finish and your site’s snow and wind loads.

Is a 30x50 better than a 30x40?

If you want a shop and parking without them fighting for the same floor, yes. The extra 300 sq ft usually becomes a dedicated work area or storage for a boat or camper.

What can I store in a 30x50?

Four vehicles, or a boat or camper plus a shop. With a 14 ft eave and a 12 ft door it also handles most tractors with loaders.

What is included in a 30x50 kit from Western?

Engineered trusses, laminated columns, steel roofing and siding, trim and flashing, fasteners and hardware, framing for doors and windows, and stamped engineering drawings for your site. Concrete, labor, insulation and interior finish are not included.
