We have at least 13 (I may be forgetting one) pole buildings that range from cheap lumber yard buildings to Morton buildings and from what I've seen the lumber yard buildings are holding up at least as good as the Morton's. If you are thinking of adding on the to building when you can afford it then I would built it as wide and tall as you can afford now, even if you had to go 40x40x14' you can add a lean to on each side as well as build onto one end when the time comes. If I was to put up a new wood frame building I think I would start out with at least a 12" concrete wall and then use three 2x6"s sandwiched together with the truss between them for the poles. This way the poles will never rot off and it will be easy to pour a cement floor in later. To attach the siding just place 2x6s horizontally on 24" centers between the vertical post which will also allow cheap batt insulation to be used. I would talk to other farmer's in your area to see what buildings and builders they have been happy with. All of our buildings have sliding doors and I hate every single one of them, when it snows you have to keep them dug out and even on windy days they can be tough to handle.

In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
