Iowa | Would love to build a pole building, but its outta the budget for a few years. Been seeing some hoop buildings on AuctionTime and other sites, that are for lack of better term -- cheap. I understand you get what you pay for, and from searching there are guys here who have bought them in the last year or so -- wondering how their holding up. I'd try to put it on a pony wall to gain height - I really have no equipment storage other than if everythings unhooked -- so once planter is hooked up, it sits out till done, from preseason checkup till done -- same with combines, and any tractors with implements. I've had electrical equipment damaged cause sprayer tractor sat out in storms (again no spot to put it tractor roof leaked). I dont farm a lot, but do a lot of wrenching - I'm thinking of placing it about 20-30 ft from my shop -- I could work on planter and combine in the building, where now I end up pulling it out from 3 miles away, and working right outside the roll up door, so if its raining or snow, or muddy I get to work in it. Shop fits tractors and trucks in , just not the planter and combine.
I live in NW IA so we get snow and wind -- Do I dare turn it running east west -- knowing it'd take wind from the north - itd be protected from the south, and west -- I'm thinking if I put a 4-6 foot wall up and built on that that I 'd be able to keep the snow off the building -- If I need to turn N/S then my spot isnt as good, I'd probably go with a smaller building. Either way it'd be nice to get stuff done inside in March when its nicer out, so that its done a couple weeks in advance.

Above are the results of some of the ones I was looking at -- the results indicate you could get them really cheap. I'm thinking of either a 30x60 or 85 with the pony wall, or a 40x60 or 80 "premium" building that would stand alone. Just curious if some of the others that bought them would be proud of them today or are they "gone with the wind"
