All the pole barns I see advertised are dimensioned to the outside. So you take the 2 Inch sheeting and then the post width off the width and length. So it would be 1 1/2 x 2= 3 inches. then 5 1/2 x 2 = 11 inches. So the inside cross dimension would be 14 inches under 30 feet or 28 foot 10 inches.

Also I have seen some buildings sold by the over hang dimension. SO if you have a one foot over hang then the building would be that much smaller inside.

I have found that you get what you pay for. You more than likely bought it based on price. It seems it might have been a company that was not local. If you are having a pole barn built then make sure what you are buying. READ the building plans. I also try to use local people if possible. If not then go with a company that has a good reputation. Get some references and CHECK them out.

Myself I will spend a little more on something like this. You are going to hopefully own it for a life time. So a few dollars saved up front is not much per year of ownership.

As for the guys that say Morton does not stand behind their buildings. You must be hard to get along with. I have a total of three Morton buildings. I have had small things on two of them. The company was more than fair and fast in resolving any issues I had. The other building had a major problem. The paint came off the siding. It was thirteen years old. The metal was warrantied for thirty years. They came out and looked at it. Two weeks later I got a call saying a crew would be here the next week. They showed up and removed all the metal, even the roof and trim. They then installed new metal that is one gauge heavier than what I had. The new metal has another thirty year warranty form the installation date not the build date. While they where here I asked the foreman if he could use his lift to repair the eve on another non Morton building I had. I told him I would be more than glad to pay for his time and materials. He removed the damaged eve and I went to town and got the trim and metal to repair it. He finished the repair. ( Side note: It took them three days to get all of the old metal off and the new re-installed. My wife fixed them hot meals the entire time they where on the farm. She is old school and if you work for her/us you get fed a good hot meal) Anyway. The crew foreman did not charge me anything for the other repair. He refused to take any money offered. I took his name and number. Since then that crew has built four other buildings in my area. Everyone of them is a good high quality building. So I maintain that you get what you pay for. The cheapest bid is many times going to be the cheapest quality building. Most of the time you can have good OR cheap but not both.
