For 2K you can build one similar and better and save the hassle of moving one, doesn't look to high quality of a build in the first place.

You could call him up and say not many are going to go for that deal so if you do finally offer it for free, take down and haul, to please call you first.

Checked out the pole building today. It's a pretty big building. In all reality it's just 6x6 beams for the ground posts and 4x6 beams attached to them for the extra length. Then simple framing for the rest. The only posts that are cemented in are the ones for the doors.

Doing the math, locally i couldn't buy the metal sheeting for less than 2k. That's not including the timber.

I don't have to put it back up the same either. I could turn it into many different things. Maybe even two structures if i wanted.

They offered to pay half the expense for scissor lift as well to take it down and deduct my portion of the cost from the price too.

I was just throwing out a general guess as to price, I didn't read the description to see the actual size, :duh: if you disassemble and reassemble to your liking would be better than moving it.

Looks like it was built to store an RV or something similar in. Kind of an awkward shape, if you decide to buy it with the intentions of changing the size, I would see if you can find the siding locally to match. Unless you go smaller on the over all square footage you'll probably need to buy some extra material.

Yes,it's big. There would be no other way to move it except dismantling it.

The whole property used to be a horse place. Best description i can come up with lol. The new owners suspect this building was used for wood shavings. They think it facilitated a dump truck being able to back in dump the load and no worry about the dump not hitting the ceiling.

I think what i will do in the long run is make a barn style roof with loft and still have a 16ft entry for the rv or what have you for later.

If it's in the cards for me later in life i suspect this may turn into something bee related.

I called steel structures America and the guy told me he thought it was a pretty good deal to him. He said he wouldn't be able to touch one for less than 6k.
