Bookshelf vs vertical studs

[Snip]

Ok, I'm in the process of planning a 64x40x14 pole barn shop and my current plan is liner panel for the ceiling and drywall for the walls. With 14' walls vertical one piece studs 16 0r 24 OC could get costly. My other option would be bookshelf 24" OC between the posts (8'OC)and insulating between them. 8 footers being cheaper than 14" ones I'm thinking that going horizontal and using 6X24" batts.
I would like to keep the studs in-between the posts and the drywall flat onto of the posts/studs preserving as much floor space as possible . That being said what are the pros and cons of going either way? What have have you done on your own pole barns? Likes dislikes?
Location will be the Crossville Tn. area so winters will be somewhat milder than I am used to currently but I would like to insulate as best as possible up front to save what I can during the "winter months" along with keeping it cool during the summer ( no current plans to A/C right now)

I'm trying to decide this same quandary as well. My building will be 16' tall but the spaces between the poles range from 13' to 16'. So going vertical with 16' or two 8' foot sections will be more consistent and produce less waste. Sounds like horizontal would be your least expensive option and produce the least waste. It might be a bit more limiting on where you can mount things on the wall, but should work fine.

That’s what I did, 16’ walls so I built 2 8’ sections 16oc flush with the posts

Looks good. Thanks for sharing the picture. I remember my mom saving S&H green stamps when I was a kid. Man, that was a long time ago.

I went with vertical studs 2' OC between my posts like 19Vert64 so I could use the studs to mount heavy shelves, hangers, cabinets, etc.

Cost analysis is obviously so important when trying to keep to a budget. Ultimately the decision you'll have to make will be dependent on how big is the cost difference between 16" or 24" spacing. I will always try to tighten the belt to ensure that I never have any regrets about the "structure"

I like that set-up. Kinda like the best of both worlds. Able to get the wall hight needed and using common lumber, Thank you for sharing.
It looks like you are using 2x4's leaving an air gap between the studs and the girts? I think that would be a good thing (along with cheaper that 2x6) My thoughts would be to use 6" insulation that would then somewhat expand to cover the 2x4's on the back side limiting thermal transfer thru the lumber. Would this be a correct assumption?

Lol correct or not that was my plan as well. I ended up doing R-13 in walls and R-38 in the ceiling
