Great information, Rgentum! Thank you for the details!

I also like Gamehawkers' metal shelter - another option.

Passed the link to this thread to husband (who actually asked the question about details), ball is now in his court.

I ordered roof trusses (approx. $700) with a 2 ft overhang on each edge, making a footprint below the roof of 16 x 36 ft. The two end trusses I covered with 3/4 x 6 cedar tongue & groove. Once I fastened the trusses, I laid roof sheathing of 1/2 in, 5-ply CDX, covered that with a vapor barrier, installed roof edge & peak metal, & then paid a fellow $500 (labor only) to install 3-tab roofing.



I also ran #6 outdoor romex (for 30 amp service) & 3/4 in black plastic water pipe & tv coax from the house to a breaker box & outdoor faucet installed near the barn.



The barn hasn't blown down yet, but the big bad wolf has also not yet been seen.


Do you have an idea of what your total cost was?

Dana asked, "Do you have an idea of what your total cost was?"
_______________________________________

It's been over a year since I built the barn, and I've discarded all of my paperwork for it. What I recollect:

The timbers were approx. $1,500.
The plywood was approx. $400.
The trusses were approx. $700.
The cedar was approx. $100.
The roof framing lumber (2x4s) was approx. $100.
The roofing materials were approx. $500.
Fasteners were approx. $100.
Electrical, lighting, & plumbing supplies were approx. $500.
I've probably left items out, and the above estimates are undoubtedly low.

The only labor I paid for (regarding the barn itself, not counting site preparation, and besides the labor involved with the trusses) was for installing the 3-tab roofing: $500.

I also had substantial expense in site preparation, including $1,500 (labor & materials) to build the retaining wall at the rear of the barn, the cost of approx. 100 yards of fill dirt and crushed asphalt, the cost of renting a skip loader to move it around, and the cost of hiring an excavator operator to dig trenches for the electrical & plumbing. I also had to hire a guy to cut down some trees and remove some stumps in the area.
