We just finished building a 60x104' metal pole barn for an indoor riding arena/5 stall horse barn. With the 3 dumptruck loads of of fine "riding" stone, and the 3 dumptruck loads of fill dirt(I spread it all out with my frontend loader), we had just shy of $40,000 into the entire project. We did most of the work ourselves, including renting a Bobcat to drill the 36 12"x4' deep holes for all of the upright poles. We also borrowed my neigbor's grade-all forklift with the 40' telescoping boom, and set all of the trusses. We did hire out the high metal work, and cross trusses to guys with the proper equipment. I don't think $40K will get you too much of a barn if you don't plan on doing most of it yourself
