Sewing machine table?

I did a 40x63 from Menards in '06. Very happy. No surprises. I don't recall missing anything. I did buy the plans with it. This was a big help. I did buy some extra lumber to support the walls during the build. Not a big deal. Overall very pleased.

We did a 40X63. We have a 33ft 5th wheel camper, a 22ft pontoon, 3 tractors, a riding mower and a 20x27 shop in one corner. The only thing I did wrong was go 14ft side walls instead of 16. I was only able to do a 12 ft tall door. Limits our options on 5th wheels. We were able to find we love though.

Lots of good advise here. Also consider insulating under the concrete. I have a 40x60 with a 20x30 shop inside. Shop walls and ceiling insulated. I regret not insulating under the shop area.

What about foam to seal the eves, and a vent in each gable end for air intake?

That's what I did.

I have a 40x60 with 14 ft walls. Limits me to a 12 ft door. That is my biggest regret. If there is any chance of a camper or tractor with ROPS, go big on at least one door.

Are the 10ft tall pickups going to ever be on a trailer? My biggest regret was only being able to do a 12ft tall door. Limits my camper options.

Welcome from just north Omaha. What part of Big Red country are you feom? Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk

Is that an 8N as your avatar? I have a couple of them along with a 961. Easy to work on. Inexpensive. Brian

I have a 40x60 north of Omaha. Similar climate as you I would guess. I put the roll blanket between the purlins and the steel on the roof. The blanket isn't foil faced but rather with a tarp like material. I don't remember what it was called. The shed has been up since '03. No condensation...

I have a 40x63 and it works well for me. I have a quarter of it enclosed for a shop. The rest has enough storage for 3 ford tractors, an 18ft boat and a 30ft camper. I too have 14 ft walls. This was an issue as I could only have a 12ft door. Our small 5th wheel camper just fits in the door...

We put up a 40x63 in '06. No problems. If you think you need a 24x24, build a 36x36. Nobody ever says they built too big. Brian

The walls are 14ft. I wish I had gone taller so I could have had a taller door. As mentioned, the 12 footer limits our camper options. The posts are laminated 2x6s. Brian

BG, we did it ourselves over several weekends. A buddy frames houses. He acted as forman and provided the lift to set the trusses. We waited a couple of years and then put in the floor. Built the house in between. No problems with the Menards kit. Their computer design gave us the complete...

I put up a 40x60 Menards building in '03. Love it. I have since built a 20x27 shop in one corner. Happy with that as well. The initial build cost 20ish. The floor 8ish. The shop 3ish. I am in eastern Nebraska. Give thought to your use and insulation needs. Brian

Looks great. Who did your concrete? I used Rock Hard Concrete out of Fort Calhoun. Did a great job. Brian

I am just a bit west of you. South of Blair. East of Kennard. Some summer we are having. I put up a 40x63 in '03. Menards kit. Good luck with your build.

Where are they going? Sounds like near NFM. I live south of Blair and am glad to hear this. Brian

I am putting a 20x27 shop inside my 40x63 pole barn. I'd like to have a 9x7 door on one wall so I can move things into the shop to work on as needed. I was thinking a roll-up door would be nice as it would take up less space. Thinking about mounting it on the outside of the shop again to safe...
