............Garage
I prepping for a spring build of a garage 48x40. I used a free program for a metal building BUT metal is NOT mandatory. I'm struggling with which type to build ........pole, metal, and stick. I am not a carpenter. I plan on using radiant heat and will re-enforce the foundation for a vehicle rack in the center bay, that's all I know so far. Debating on a 4:12 or 6:12 pitch and will decide when I know which type I do build. I will be running water/sewerage and electric if the county permit will allow.
If I do a metal building, I'm assuming I can go clear span. If stick or pole I will not be able to, correct me if I'm wrong. Also depending on the pitch and stick, I could utilize overhead storage. Most know I have a log home and the wife is worried about the "look" of a metal building being out of place. Log wood/vinyl siding is definitely in the mix.
Let me know what you think and use your experience to help a brother out!
