Mine is a single head unit, as long as the doors are kept closed I haven't had an issue with uneven cooling EXCEPT for the area within 2-4 feet of my roll-up door, which tends to be warmer or cooler depending on the outside temps - but it's also basically an uninsulated 10x10 metal panel...

Another BX23S user here with a 2 acre lot. I've got the tractor/backhoe, SSQA pallet forks, 60" deck (NOT drive-over), 48" box blade, 48" tiller, and 5' rake. It does every single thing I need, absolutely superb. Tractor loader and backhoe are great for trees, stumps, trenches, etc. I've been...

I've got a 30x40 with similar roof dimensions and used 12 8' LED light bars, hung level using chains at about 10'. Following the roof contour will result in less light near the middle of your building (lights further from the ground) and, being "aimed" towards the middle because of the roof...

That really depends where you're at, what kind of site prep is needed, what style construction (even among the three general types you listed). What's the wall height? Roof height? What guage thickness on the steel for the walls? Roof? Talking pole barn - 6x6 square posts, round poles? Set in...

I disagree with the last person, 9x20 is a workable shop if you lay it out right. I agree about the flooding thing though - if you're concerned enough about flooding to ask about building a knee wall, you need to invest in keeping the water a LOT further from the house first. A knee wall just...

My 30x40 has two banks of 6, 8' LED strips from the local big box store. The first row is along the side with your garage doors, the second alone the side opposite the doors. I've got them wired on two separate switches with the same setup so I can use one set if I'm at my workbench near the...

In the Florida panhandle, I've got a 30x40x12 enclosed pole barn with 2" of closed cell foam all around. It's got a 36k Mr Cool DIY mini split that pretty easily keeps in in the high 60's/low 70's in the summer (90-105 outside) and mid-high 70's in the winter (15-50 outside). That's with two 3x3...

I've had similar problems where I'm at with vines. Their root ball is tough to get rid of, it's almost a potato-looking nodule type thing. Royal PITA. So roundup will work, if you mix it strong and dose the hell out of the vine. What I've found works really well is about anything with 2,4-d in...

I've got a 30x40x12 enclosed pole barn with spray foam insulation, about r16 if I remember right, and have the 36k unit. In in the FL panhandle so cooling is my main goal, but we do get temps into the teens/20's for a couple days at a time. My unit has had no problem maintaining 72-75 on the...

I used 3/8" knowing I can't just slap whatever I want to hang wherever I want on the walls, but a little planning to make sure I'm securing heavy stuff to the studs underneath has worked out well. Sent from my Pixel 5 using Tapatalk

You can scrape them off very easy with a scraper though, I had over spray on the studs in my barn and cleaned it up pretty easily to put plywood sheeting up. Sent from my Pixel 5 using Tapatalk

I did exactly that for my barn in NW Florida. Dug the trench to code depth for electrical and laid direct-bury electrical wire down one side of the trench with PVC down the other. The supply end of both have a shutoff (valve and breaker as appropriate) so I can terminate them both if I ever have...

For what it's worth, you can buy a pre-built shed with those dimensions from any number of builders and have everything but the concrete floor, probably for around $3000-$4500. You'd have to do interior electrical, insulation and finishing still. Just something to think of if you're looking for...

I've got a 36k Mr Cool DIY in a 30x40x12 enclosed pole barn with 2" of closed cell foam in the Florida panhandle. We saw several days of temps in the teens and my Mr Cool never skipped a beat at keeping the building heated to 72-75 continuously. Sent from my Pixel 5 using Tapatalk

Start planning your lighting layout now. That was the hardest part of my 30x40 build. Same for outlets - some say "you can never have too many", my buddy took that advice and has a lot of outlets he can't use because they're behind stuff. I think I went every 8-ish feet on mine, if I remember...
