Long post - please bear with me. Finally getting my barn/garage started. Started digging for footers... ran into garbage. All the luck, found an old bury pit. Big one. Still hadn"t found bottom at 10 ft and it was getting wider too.
So, not gonna put the shop there. Unfortunately, this was the "planned" are when I originally laid out the house, drive, pond, etc. Moving it 20 or 30 ft away from there doesn"t work. Pole type construction would yield same issues. Original plans were for a 28x36 building.
Looking at a few options and was looking for input/experience from you all.
Need: Dry tractor storage or shelter - 2 bays (2 tractors). Shop space - light wood working, tractor/ car maintenance and repair, tool storage for work, etc. Dry storage or shelter for couple lawnmowers, log splitter, tiller, etc.
I have the ability to add on to existing garage/shop (its insulated and attached to house)but not enough to take care of all the above - would be about 22x28. Also have the ability to put a 28x36 about 350 ft away from current garage/shop (original location was about 35 ft away...). As well, can also put up a small lean-to or shed in various spots.
Pros/cons of splitting these up? Really don"t like running back and forth between them to get tools, or stringing electric too far, etc.
