It’s actually 14’. But I was indifferent on stick frame vs pole barn. Just so happens the company I landed on to build it does stick frame until they get to 16’. Then they do pole barn. It’s 2x6 studs on 2’ centers. Trusses on 4’ centers, purlins on 2’ centers. I’m happy with it so far. Just...

Well construction finally started after rain delays. Today they finished the roof extension. Should be in the dry next week. I can’t wait to have all this extra space. Been working out of half of a 2-car garage for my whole life. Sent from my iPhone using The Garage Journal mobile app

Thanks for the responses. I think I’ll end up keeping the 3 doors on the 60’ wall and just have them make one of them a 12x12. I wish I could put a door on one of the ends but with the way this shop is located on the property, it just wouldn’t make sense. One end will have a lean-to and the...

There will be an 18’ open car hauler in my future. Currently the biggest vehicle going in will be a half ton crew cab truck. The future trailer is why I’m leaning towards a 12’ door. My buddy has 10’ doors and his car hauler barely squeezes through.

I’m a few weeks out from having my first shop built. 60x40x14. Plan right now is for 3 10’x10’ bay doors and a walk through door. The more I think about it, the more I wonder if I should sub one of the 10x10s for a 12x12, or do away with a 10x10 and just go with 2 bay doors and make one of them...

Hello from Arkansas. I stumbled on this forum while searching for shop design ideas. I’ve wanted a shop for many years and I’m finally on the list to have one built. 60x40x14 with a 20’ roof extension. It’ll get a 2-post lift at some point. The shop will be used for tinkering on my hobby...
