Hello Gun. My 2 cents. Build bigger and especially if you want to park in it. My pickup measures almost 20' long and wouldn't park in an 18' slot. Allowing space to walk around, 24' is the minimum. My pickup is almost 8' wide mirror to mirror. A close fit that I don't like for smaller doors. 9' door is a minimum. The big door has to be at least 2' away from the wall to allow you to open your door when you park and 3' is preferable depending upon what storage you put on the wall. Wall storage shelves above the height of an open door works well.
Use laminated posts with the bottom part as ground contact. Use bracing on the posts and don't back fill them until the girders are up and everything is square to the world. It never fails, the top needs to kick an inch or two one way and the bottom needs to kick the other way.
Drill the holes extra big. No matter how hard you try to line them up with string, etc., you can never drill them all straight. A 3 piece of 2x6 laminate post will measure over 6" at the diagonal. An 8" hole only gives less than an inch of play on the sides. Not enough to compensate for a deep hole that may be a hair off. An inch off at the bottom of a hole may be 3" at the top of the post. If nothing else, if you don't back fill your holes, you can pull the post and reshape the hole with your digger.

Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
