My wife and I just got done finishing up our steel pole barn for a horse riding arena with 4 stalls 104'x60'. We got a kit from Menards that was pretty reasonable, and for the most part, put it up ourselves using some of my neighbor's heavy equipment, but having experienced help with the roof, and high metal.

I actually rented a 70 HP Bobcat with an 18" hole auger and set the upright posts myself in the 36 4' deep holes, we borrowed the neighbors telescoping boom 10,000 lb "gradeall" and I was the one who set the 60' long roof trusses carefully in place. I also borrowed a trencher and ran drainage tiles from each end of the barn to the creek, and a trench to run electrical wire in conduit, and our water line. We got it finished for about $30,000....compare that price to a company that does it all.
