Shop, need suggestions

novassdude · 07-20-2012, 09:43 PM

I am in the middle of getting quotes to get a shop built. The pole type are cheaper to build but a stick built is easier to finish. Any one do a insulated and finished pole style that would have some good suggestions for insulating them?

One thing I found is if you use a scissor rafter you can get a couple of feet extra ceiling clearance in the center of the building. That lets you keep the walls a little shorter and still have room for a lift.

I am sure this will not be a quick project but I will try and add some pics once I make my decision and start building.

One good thing is I live in a very small town with pretty much no building codes so I don't need to worry about what I can and can't do.
