Subject: RE: Has anybody put up a quonset, curvet, half-round barn the past couple decades?



northeastern Ohio		I put up two about 10 years ago. One is 45x40 and the other is 55x80.

For the small one I used the 2x2x8 cement blocks for a base. Cost was $25 for each block so a total of $400. It is open on one end. Building cost was $7000. So $4.11 per square foot. I supplied all the labor to erect.

The bigger one I poured a full size slab. Cost was $17,000 with rebar, concrete and labor. The building was $12k. Both ends closed with 16x16 overhead on one end and 24x15 sliders on the other end. Cost per square foot: $6.59. I supplied all the labor to erect.

Last year I had a 60x100 framed building built with concrete walls and full concrete for $90k including labor. $15 per square foot.

The frame building is a lot nicer. If I built it myself, I would guess it would have been around $10 per square foot.

The smaller quonset was easier to put up than the big one. The arches are overwhelming at first, but get easier once the first 3 are set.
