The very first think I would do is find out what your local government requires you to do in designing and building such a building. They may make you do some things that make the building cost much more than you would think it should. Forewarned is forearmed. If you live in an area with strict code enforcement, it ends up being cheaper to just play their game to begin with, rather than making changes they require. I also would suggest doing an insulation pack/vapor barrier beneath the roof metal. It does not cost that much and is a heck of a lot easier to do while you are putting on the outer metal than it is to try to do it after everything is in place. This insulation/vapor barrier lessens or eliminates the condensation problem on the inside surface. It is a hassle to deal with drips raining down on your stuff inside your building. I always overbuild, which costs a bit more than it might have to. But nothing I have ever built has sagged or fallen down. You also need to consider the possible wind and snow loads and brace accordingly. Undoubtedly when you have the building completed, you will wish you had built it bigger and had done something in a different way. At least that has been my experience. Good luck!

Flax provided the fibre which w
