I have a chance to get a metal building put on a property we are looking at.These are my options,a poleshed 42x72x10,sliding doors,no concrete floor erected in Feb.2006. Or a 40x60x12 wood frame building,10x12 overhead doors,full concrete floor finished by Thanksgiving this year.The prices are about the same.I'm leaning towards the smaller one because of the concrete,what do you think? John.

I sell and erect steel and Wood framed buildings plus sell and pour concrete and my choice is the smaller size with the concrete. For one thing, concrete is supposed to go up at least 10% next spring so to concrete the other one will cost you a bunch more later. I also sell and install doors and the overheads are always the better value vs. sliders. Make certain you get a good warranty. I assume you are meaning a studded wall & rafter building when you say wood framed. You will likely get a longer warranty from the Pole Shed supplier than the wood framed. Genereal rule of thumb is 1 year on wood framing and 10 years on Pole shed in case this matters.
good luck and enjoy your new shop/shed.

I just wish I could afford either one of those buildings. but the 12' roof with concrete floor would be the way to go. You could do more in same amount of square feet.

The concrete floor and the added 2 feet on the side walls would make it a NO BRAINER for me

Go concrete it's better on equipment tires.

This is mine. I had it built so that if I wanted to add on either the front of back or either end, its just a simple matter of taking out some sheetmetal screws, repalcing a pole or two and adding on from there. I can always go back later and pour a floor, and add overhead dorrs if I want later. Guy had it up in about three days.

Personally, right now I'd go with the smaller / concrete floor choice - I need a shop! I would prefer 14 foot height clearance though - just in case you want to pull the Peterbilt with the mule ears in there.

The concrete floor would be the deciding factor for me. You can always add to the length later. Makes no differance how big you build it, it will always be too small.

Go as wide as you can afford, then if you run out of room, you can just make it longer

With a 12' roof he can easily add a 15' open lean to on one side. Just be sure to have "neutral" colored roof like White.

Exactly, on one of mine, I started out with36x48, one side added 12leanto, all inside, so it was a 48x48. Later I added a 14 ft to the other side, that was gravel floor, then later on I extended the roof another 24 ft or everything. Leaving the end open.. I stored the baler and swather in there, plus some pens for sheep.,
