009 20x40x16 tall pole garage
Some homeowners want a place to park two sedans. This owner wanted a place for a motorhome and a boat on a trailer, side by side, with the doors closed. Project 009 20x40x16 is what that looks like: 800 square feet, a 16-foot wall, and a 12×15 door that clears a Class A. This is an RV garage built around what’s actually getting parked inside.

Explore Building 009 20x40x16 metal sided pole garage
The single shot of Project 009 20x40x16 catches the building head-on, with the 12×15 door open and the inside dark against the Ocean Blue siding. The door is doing real work on a wall this tall. The white trim around the opening sets it apart from the panel run and tells you the scale before you measure anything.
Brite White roofing on top of Ocean Blue 28-gauge Frontier Panel gives this 20×40 RV garage a two-tone read that holds up at a distance. Flush overhangs keep the gable and eave lines clean. The photo shows what a metal pole barn at this height looks like sitting still: tall, square, and sized for boat and RV storage instead of two sedans.

Building Specifications
A 16-foot wall changes the math on every component below it. Project 009 20x40x16 rides on 3-ply 2×6 glu-laminated poles set 8 feet on center, sized for the leverage a tall wall puts on the frame. Siding is 28-gauge Frontier Panel in Ocean Blue with a 50-year warranty. Roofing is 27-gauge Frontier Panel in Brite White, same warranty. Trusses are 20-foot Standard, 4 feet on center, 4/12 pitch, snow load by code. That’s the bones of this metal pole barn.
One 12-foot wide by 15-foot high residential garage door handles the main bay. A 3068 6-panel fiberglass insulated entry door sits as the walk-in. Flush overhangs run the gables and eaves. Forty feet of ridge vent runs the peak. This is an RV garage built around boat and RV storage, not a workshop. The spec sheet lays out the rest of 20 Feet Wide x 40 Feet Long x 16 Feet 0 Inches High by line item.

Frequently Asked Questions
How big is a 20×40 pole garage?
A 20×40 pole garage is 800 square feet, roughly the footprint of a small one-story home. Project 009 20x40x16 uses it for boat and RV storage with a 16-foot ceiling.
Can you park an RV in a 20×40 pole garage?
Yes, the 12×15 door and 16-foot walls on Project 009 20x40x16 clear most Class A and Class C motorhomes. Standard 8-foot residential doors don’t.
How tall should a pole garage ceiling be?
14 to 16 feet is standard for an RV garage. Project 009 20x40x16 runs a 16-foot wall and a 12×15 door, sized for Class A and Class C clearance.
How much does a pole garage cost?
Pole garage cost depends on size, options, and location. Pioneer prices each build off actual scope. Project 009 includes a 16-foot wall, 12×15 RV-height door, and metal pole barn finish.
Pricing & Financing Options
Most homeowners pricing a 20×40 RV garage are doing math on a standard 10-foot or 12-foot wall, then getting surprised when the quote comes back higher. The driver is height. A 16-foot wall on Project 009 20x40x16 means longer poles, taller siding runs, more trim, and a 12×15 door instead of a 9×8. The 28-gauge and 27-gauge Frontier Panel, the snow-load-engineered trusses, and the 40 feet of ridge vent all scale with the envelope.
Pioneer prices each build off actual scope. There’s no per-square-foot shortcut on an RV garage because square footage isn’t what’s driving the cost, height is. Post frame builders near me searches return a lot of options, but only some build at a true 16-foot wall regularly. Before requesting a quote, the call to make is on use: are you parking what actually needs the 16-foot clearance, or would a 12-foot build do the same job for less.
We also offer flexible Financing Options so you can get started without compromising on design or quality.

Final Thought
An RV garage like Project 009 20x40x16 isn’t right for everyone. If you don’t own an RV, a boat on a trailer, or a lifted truck, you’ll pay for clearance you won’t use. This build is for owners who actually need 16 feet of wall and a 12×15 door. Most buyers shopping a 20×40 RV garage land on a 10-foot or 12-foot wall instead.
For owners who need the height, the spec has to be engineered for it from the poles up. Post frame builders near me searches turn up plenty of options, but tall-wall builds are a smaller subset of that list. Pioneer has built more than 30,000 post-frame buildings across the Mid-Atlantic since 1998, and an RV garage at this wall height is a conversation worth having before you sign.
