This is a buyers' market for steel buildings. Steel is in a major downturn, currently at $205/ton after hitting an all-time high in 2008 of more than $1,200/ton. Steel bottomed in 2013 at $135/ton. The chart below doesn't show that which means the fall and recovery probably happened with lightning speed - too quickly to register.

Good advice about the insulation and odor issues in a barn, micro. I was only kidding about living in it. We ARE putting doors at either end of the storage area. So both the animal area and the storage area should air out pretty easily when there's a breeze. I don't see us doing that much when it's cold, though, and it's cold a LOT.

De
another problem ya might not have considered is that it is very difficult to insulate one of these compared to a house. I am sure you will have some frigid temps in the winter there.

I have owned three of the steel buildings in my lifetime. Large ones with 100 foot wide clear spans.

Even though we had the ceilings and sidewalls "insulated" they were always cold in winter and hot in summer. And I even had air conditioned the factory.....

Those are very good prices btw.... I am assuming the roof is standing seam galvalum.

Ya might not like the smell of the BARN below as the stink rises in the air in the summertime and mrs. really would not like it.
