I am building a 26'X26' pole barn. It calls for 8' sonatubes. I instead
built 16"X16" boxes with extra rough cut pine i had left over. I did
did not use rebar in the boxes when i poured the concrete. Will this be
a big problem for me in the future????

If you are talking about concrete columns to hold the building load . I
will guess 8' above ground, why would you not put rebar in the columns? Must
be know building inspection. The rebar holds the concrete together and is a
major part of it's load capacity, Even concrete piers have a web of rebar. I
would not want be in the building

Gosh Dave it is a pole building, any concrete at all is rare, most are
just built on poles stuck into the ground. I've had one up over 10
years & it has survived 80 mph straight line winds that domino-ed the
power poles on our road. That said, I can't see pouring any sort of
concrete with no metal in it. The OP should have at least used remesh.
what will happen is not if, but when a crack occurs it will spread and
shift.

I have no experience with a pole building , Unreinforced Concrete or a
Wooden Pole, I would take the wooden pole. It dose sound like his plans
called for sonatubes instead of poles. Then not using rebar indicates lack
of experience.
