THE SUMMERTOWN ADVANTAGE

#1 Grade Metal

We use only #1 grade metal on every building—never seconds—so you get top-tier strength, consistency, and finish. Each panel is coated with AkzoNobel paint, a trusted industry leader known for its long-lasting color and protection. Backed by a manufacturer’s warranty, our metal roofing and siding are built to stand the test of time, with fade resistance and weather durability you can count on year after year.

Professionally Engineered and Stamped Trusses

At Summertown Metals, our roof systems are built to meet high standards of strength and safety. Every truss is professionally engineered and stamped, so you can build with confidence. We use steel trusses that are a minimum of 1/8″ thick for superior durability, and reinforce every connection with hurricane clips and joist hangers to stand strong against high winds and heavy loads. It’s just one more way we ensure your building is solid, secure, and built to last.

60 CCA Ground-Contact Treated Bottom Bands

.60 CCA Ground-Contact Treated Bottom Bands

At Summertown Metals, we don’t cut corners—literally. Our pole barns are built to last, starting from the ground up. We use .60 CCA ground-contact treated bottom bands to protect against rot and moisture where it matters most. Combined with solid corner bracing for added strength and stability, every structure is designed for long-term durability you can count on.

Galvanized Lag Bolts

Every Summertown Metals pole barn is engineered for strength you can trust. We use galvanized lag bolts for superior uplift protection, helping your structure stay firmly anchored in high winds. Each post sits on an 18” composite footer pad, distributing weight evenly and resisting settling over time.

Monolithic Pads

Our monolithic pad option offers an extra layer of strength and stability for your pole barn. By pouring a single, solid concrete base beneath each post, these pads help prevent shifting, settling, and moisture damage over time. It’s a smart upgrade for long-term durability—especially in areas with softer soil or frequent weather swings. *Note: not every pole barn kit includes concrete pads

1' On-Center Screw Pattern

We go the extra mile with details that make a difference—like our industry-leading 1′ on-center screw pattern. This tighter spacing means your metal panels are more securely fastened, reducing the risk of leaks, wind lift, and long-term wear. It’s a small detail that adds up to a stronger, longer-lasting building.

HOW WE PRICE OUR POLE BARNS

Built to Last. Priced to be fair.

We’re committed to using top-quality materials that result in a strong, long-lasting build—without inflating the price. While our buildings may not be the cheapest on the market, they’re built to stand the test of time, not cut corners. With Summertown Metals, you get a fair price for a structure that’s made to last.

The Building You Need at the Price You Want

We offer flexible options to fit your needs and your budget. Whether you want to purchase materials and build it yourself, add professional installation, or go fully custom, our pole barn kits are designed to give you the freedom to choose what works best for your project – and your wallet.

ABOUT OUR BUILDING MATERIALS

At Summertown Metals, we use only high-quality, contractor-grade materials—because cutting corners isn’t how you build something that lasts. From #1 grade metal with premium AkzoNobel paint to engineered trusses, galvanized fasteners, and ground-contact treated lumber, every component is chosen for strength, durability, and performance. It’s all part of our commitment to delivering buildings that stand strong for years to come.

Our Range for Pole Barns

Material-only packages do not include concrete and can be delivered anywhere in TN, or up to 200 miles from any Summertown Metals location. For deliveries beyond 300 miles, third-party shipping is available, with all arrangements being the buyer’s responsibility.

Installation by an independent contractor is available only within Tennessee or within a 200-mile radius of our Summertown Metals branch locations in Hopkinsville, KY, and Hayden, AL. Buyers are responsible for obtaining necessary codes and permits, which may require additional materials or costs depending on location.

Rutledge Fire Department recently purchased a 40x40 building from Summertown Metals. It was a very quick and simple process getting the building design the way we wanted it. Carlos was fantastic helping with the design, reviewing our available options and making changes as necessary. John and his crew did a great job installing our building and were very easy to work with. The concrete contractor did an amazing job on our floor. It is perfectly smooth and exactly what we wanted. Overall I would absolutely use Summertown again and would recommend them to anyone looking for this type of building.

They were recommended to me by a home builder, and they have not disappointed at all throughout the entire process. The variety of offerings is second to none, and the quality of the build is superior to others. Their contractors are top notch, and they check in on every step of the process. I recommend Summertown to anyone looking for a pole barn, workshop or other additional building needed on their property. Do not hesitate to call them.

These guys not only have the best prices and quality materials, but Derek and Summertown Metals stand behind their word and product, no questions asked. I can speak from first-hand experience. You don't get where these guys are at by being average. They go the extra mile to make sure you get exactly what you expected. Johnny D Byler and D J construction and crew are nothing short of the best. If you're looking for professional builders and competitive pricing give him a call.

Boy oh boy you cannot beat the service and the quality that you get at Summertown METALS. When looking to build our RV garage I priced out myself all the materials to do it myself and then seeing that I had to rent equipment to even construct the building I would be way over budget From what summertime METALS and their contractors do for me and their pricing. Before deciding to do it yourself give Carlos a call at Summertown METALS and Price out your building and see what they can do for you. They did me right and maybe they can do you right too. Thank you

Frequently asked Questions

A pole barn is a post-frame building method that uses large posts buried in the ground to support the structure, rather than a full concrete foundation. It’s a simple, efficient way to get strong, versatile space—whether for work, storage, or home.

Pole barn prices vary based on size, features, and whether you build it yourself or have it installed. On average, our kits start around $8,000 for smaller buildings and go up from there. We’re happy to walk you through options that fit your goals and your budget.

Our customers use pole barns for everything from garages and workshops to barns, equipment storage, livestock shelters, and even commercial spaces. They’re flexible by design—so you can make them work for you.

Yes! Many of our customers choose to DIY their pole barn with one of our material kits. We provide the materials for the experienced builder or weekend warrior.

Our kits come with everything you needed to build the structure either with just the materials if you want to build yourself or the external shell installed by our team. 

A standard pole barn can go up in a few days with the right crew. For DIYers, it may take a couple of weeks depending on size, weather, and your availability. We help make the process as smooth as possible.
