Livestock Show Barn FAQs
How much does a show barn cost?
As a custom post-frame builder, Meyer Building specializes in designing each project to your needs without “standard” prices associated with a “standard” building. Post-frame buildings can often range from $35 to $50 per square foot. Final pricing depends on unique factors such as building size, insulation solutions, necessary sitework, personal preferences for finishes, and the building’s utility needs.
How long will a Meyer Building show barn last?
With quality materials, proper moisture control, and some ongoing maintenance, a Meyer Building show barn can serve your farm for multiple generations.
Can I expand my show barn building later?
Yes. If the foundation and truss designs support it, future expansion can include additional animal pens, lean-tos, or lofts to your existing show barn building. Planning for potential expansion during the initial design and build process helps save on lifetime ownership expenses.
Can you include pens, wash bays, & tack or feed rooms under one roof?
Yes, many show barns we build combine pens, wash racks, and enclosed rooms for feed, storage, or grooming gear—all within one efficient footprint.
What permits are necessary for a show barn?
Specific permitting requirements vary by county or township. Most farms need zoning approval and building permits, which Meyer Building acquires and navigates from start to finish.
