OT: Tips/ideas for pole barn, do's/dont's.

Posted by Markss on December 26, 2004 at 09:07:03 from (205.188.117.7):

Hey guys,

Planning to purchase a storage building here in Central Ohio to be installed in Spring.

I value your advice and wondering if there are any do's or dont's that you may have learned from your experience. I'm on a budget of $12,000....I'd like at least a 36 ft x 40 ft, but if possible could squeeze a bit more $ to get a 40 x 60.

Some questions:

Do I go with basic/cheaper building that is larger or a smaller better quality building, overhangs, windows, etc?
Morton is out of the question due to price?

I heard of lumber companies that seem to be cheaper than Lester, Morton, Cleary, etc....they install themselves...some names from Ohio are Flaig Lumber and Keim Lumber. Anybody have experience with them?

Any reason why I cant concrete 1/4 - 1/2 now (workshop area) and then leave the rest stone for later concrete work?

How about metal quality, strength and bad ones out there?

Just looking for your advice.

Thanks!
