Most buildings don’t come in kit form – but pole barns are somewhat unique in their apparent simplicity. You can potentially buy kits that include pre-cut materials and detailed assembly instructions – but is it a good idea? Stability, durability and functionality really do matter when it comes to buildings. Building collapse or weakness that leaves a building vulnerable to the high winds the Panhandle can experience during hurricanes and tropical storms are real concerns.

While you technically can find pole barn kits and take the DIY approach, the building may not last as long as a professionally constructed pole barn. These solutions also aren’t customized and or cheap. You might experience little to no actual cost savings, especially when you factor in the labor that goes into the process and the potential for the building to not last as long as a professionally constructed pole barn. 

DIY with a Pole Barn Kit

• Skill and Experience Required: While pole barn kits are designed for ease of assembly, they still require some level of skill and experience to construct properly. Novice builders may encounter challenges during the assembly process, potentially leading to errors or structural issues.
  
  
• Time and Effort: Building a pole barn from a kit requires a significant investment of time and effort. Even with the convenience of pre-cut components and instructions, the construction process can be labor-intensive, especially for larger structures.
  
  
• Limited Support: While pole barn kits typically come with instructions and may offer limited customer support, DIY builders may not won’t have access to assistance from construction professionals. If you encounter difficulties due to unique features of your property or have questions during the assembly process, which are almost inevitable with any DIY project, there will be nowhere to turn.

Hiring a Professional Construction Company

• Expertise and Experience: Professional construction companies have the knowledge, skills and experience to build pole barns to the highest safety and quality standards. They understand the intricacies of construction and can ensure your pole barn is structurally sound and built to last.
  
  
• Time Savings: By hiring a professional construction company, you can save time and avoid the hassle of DIY construction. Professionals have the resources and manpower to complete the project efficiently, allowing you to focus on other priorities.
  
  
• Customization and Design Assistance: Professional construction companies can provide expert guidance and assistance with customizing your pole barn to meet your specific needs and preferences. They can help you design a functional and aesthetically pleasing structure that maximizes your property's potential.
  
  
• Quality Assurance: When you hire a professional construction company, you can rest assured that your pole barn will be built to the highest quality standards. Professionals use high-quality materials and construction techniques to ensure the longevity and durability of your structure.
  
  
• Long-Term Dependability: Pole barns constructed by Bestway Portable Buildings are designed to last. Pole barns constructed from a DIY kit will likely need to be replaced at some point due to material failure, instability or weather-related failures.
  
  

Pole Barn Kit vs Hiring a Company

When choosing between DIY construction with a pole barn kit versus hiring a professional construction company, hiring a professional is nearly always the better choice.

The cost savings afforded by a DIY kit can be misleading given the labor you’ll need to invest – and the comparatively short lifespan of the structure that will still cost tens of thousands of dollars to construct.

The expertise, quality assurance, time savings and peace of mind provided by professional construction companies outweigh the slightly higher cost.

With their knowledge, resources and commitment to excellence, professional construction companies ensure a structurally sound, efficient and ultimately superior outcome for your pole barn project, making them the preferred option for those seeking long-term value and peace of mind.
