Pole Barn Calculator Info

Pole Barn Calculator

The Pole Barn Calculator contains functions to compute the construction materials for a pole barn with concrete piers, a slab, wood framing, roof trusses for a normal gabled roof and metal panels and trim for the roof and siding. 

• Gable Roof Metal: This estimates the materials needed for a metal roof for a simple gabled roof based on the roof dimensions.
• Purlins for a Roof: This computes the total number and length of purlins for a simple gable roof based on the ridge length of the roof, the roof pitch and the span of the roof.
• Trusses Needed for Roof: This computes the number of trusses needed for a roof based on the ridge length and spacing.
• Metal Siding for Gable Ends: This computes the metal siding materials (vertical panels) for a wall under a gable roof end based on the dimensions.
• Metal Siding for Gable End with Door: This computes the metal siding materials for a wall under a gable roof end based on the dimensions.
• Girts for a Building: This computes the number of rows of girts and their lengths for a building.
• Wall Beams for a Building: This computes the lengths beams for the outer wall of a building.
• Posts for a Building: This computes the number of vertical posts for a building based on dimensions and spacing.
• Rebar and Concrete in a Slab: This computes the total length and weight of rebar and the volume of concrete needed for a slab.
• Piers for a Building: This computes the number of piers for a building and the amount of concrete needed.
• Pole Barn Materials: This computes the top to bottom framing and roofing materials needed for a pole barn (see picture) based on a few dimension. 
• Pole Barn Metal Roof and Siding Cost: This uses an estimated the linear feet of metal panels needed for a pole barn with a door way, and provides an estimated cost for the metal panels for the roof and siding based on a the dimension and cost per linear foot of panels.  
• Corrugated Metal Paint or Coating Volume: This estimates the volume of paint or other coating (e.g., spray insulation) is needed for a corrugated surface.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Confirm all calculations with authoritative sources such as architectural drawings before risking health or wealth on the results of any calculator, and ALWAYS adhere to government approved building codes.
