Everything except for the 16' uprights are galvanized, not by choice but they look good. I'll take some closer pics in the morning. Thank you...

Wow your setup is awesome Ray :thumbup: I have to give you credit for what I've got so far. I'm loving it so far. I know what you're talking about now. Where did you get the aluminum threshold?

I was looking for sheeting for the mezzanine floor. The white oak would definitely work for the shelving.

Here is the setup I've assembled so far. Looks like it might be too close to the lift so I'm going to have to rethink the 3rd row. Any ideas on what type wood to use for the mezzanine flooring?

I sure do appreciate all the posts with great suggestions. What won out for me was the used pallet racks. I ordered enough used racks to cover a 30x12 area 8 ft tall with 2 sections at 16 ft for heavy shelving. I plan on using the lower front portion for work bench and equipment storage. I...

Wow some of you guys take your steel serious. I like the idea of using the steel girts but not sure how much they can support but they are pretty heavy on the 50' side but probably half the ga. on the 40' gable sides. As far as I-beam columns and rafters they are spaced too far on the 50'...

Looks great.

If I haven't mentioned it before I don't do wood unless I have to. Never have been too familiar with it and not a fan of it. Lots of great ideas though, I sure do appreciate it...

That's what I'm talking about but I haven't found any that are cheap. Northern Tools has some nice ones but by the time you complete a set they are expensive. I do like the idea best though. Thanks for the post Ray...

Here are pics of the shop in its current state.

Shop looks great Larry_G. Any ideas help...

Great idea. Thanks Lutz

Genius!! It's all about the wording. Thanks a bunch...

If I was capable I would have built it myself because it took forever it seemed to get to this point. I'm still waiting on power from the local power company. Paying everybody up front doesn't speed up the process unfortunately. I'll take and post some pics tomorrow.
