[QUOTE="Yellowyj, post: 637692, member: 3504"] I built most of mine myself, so can't really offer much on cost input. Mine is pole barn with post 10' on center. I used 2x6's (purlin) spaced 2' OC on the walls with a 2x12 band at the top. On the sidewalls where the trusses site I doubled the 2x12 with the inner most being notched into the top of the post. My rafters are spaced 2' OC with 2x4's (purlin) spaced 2' OC on top of the trusses. A little overkill, but I ran across a good deal on some new 16' 2x6's and 2x12's and was able to get them cheaper then buying 10' 2x4's and 2x6's. By the time I finished I had a pile of 6' 2x6's and 2x12's for building work benches and other things so I lucked up on finding the deal and putting in the extra work of cutting them all to the 10' length I needed. Mine is only 3.5 years old, but no problems so far. My dads pole barn has been up for 12+ years with no issues. His uses metal trusses with 2x6 purlins and his post are spaced 12' OC. If I remember correctly he used 2x4 purlins on the walls, but later framed out the inside. His was originally built to house alpacas and has been used for storage for the past 8-9 years. He is planning to change the door configurations to convert into more of a workshop for his welding tools and etc. [/QUOTE]
