Jackson named the town Sidney, after his home in Ohio. However, because of the significance of the canal, over time the town became known as Buckeye, and the name was legally changed in 1910. Advances in transportation put Buckeye on the map.
Generally, all except the most complex or very small pole buildings can be built for approximately $2.50 to $4.00 per square foot. While it is not a guarantee you will be able to contract someone to build at this price, it does provide a representative example of costs.
1 A larger pole barn kit (30x60-foot up to 40x80-foot and larger, with 12- to 14-foot walls) can run $8,000-$30,000, also depending on size and options.2  Kits typically do not include a floor (cement can be poured after the building is built). Do-it-yourself pole barns without a kit can cut costs significantly, especially if inexpensive or recycled materials are used. 2  The University of Tennessee Extension program posts free plans, and pole barn plans are available from $10-$70, from sites like FamilyHomePlans.com and EasiPlans.com.
