Pole barn regrets we didn't think about soon enough! If you're building one these are definitely things you should consider.
1. Gutters- this is our BIGGEST regret!
The company offered a gutter option but we decided to not go with it. BiG S
MISTAKE! We will be adding gutters on but it would have been easier and probably cheaper to have done it initially.
2. Drain- We should have taken the time to dig out and install a drain, not a huge regret but a wish we would've done.
3. Lean-to- This was also an add-on option that we said no to, honestly we were already spending and were trying to save. We will add one on ourselves but wish we would've just bit the bullet and paid the extra.
4. Concrete- While the guys were there and the trucks delivering we should have had them pour a little more to add just a bit more sidewalk.
5. Windows- Now we think a few more high windows for light would've been good.
These are all things to consider before you build.
