These fellows have handed out some good advice. If I had it all to do over.....21 years down the line, I would have poured a footer and laid up at least 3 courses of block and THEN built my pole building on this foundation. WHY? For one thing, it keeps whatever siding material you use, up off the ground away from dampness, getting banged into by machinery, lawnmower, etc. It also discourages termite infestation..... oh you"ll use treated poles...okay, they won"t eat the poles but travel up them to reach everything else....I speak from experience. My building is 28x40 and unless you have great big machines to work on, etc., it has proven ideal.....remember you"ll want to heat it in winter and maybe even cool it in summer. I studded, insulated and sheetrocked mine and the comfort level is no comparison to a damp old tin shed..yep, it is air conditioned too.....feels good when it"s 97F and 92% humidity in July...I"m cool as a cucumber and happily working away instead of batting flies and wiping sweat out of my eyes.
