Gable vs. Pull through

[USAFpj]

30x50x14 pole barn is gonna get (1) 10x10 door, and (1) 12x12 door. The terrain lends itself best to have both doors on one gable end. However, I could see the larger one centered on the front, and the smaller one offset on the opposite gable end, but the exit road would have to be dozed, built, and graveled.

The one main reason I see having it on opposite ends is to get some air circulation during the summer heat, and separate access point for my Dad, who lives on that side.

But since it will be insulated, maybe the doors should stay closed during those humid months anyhow?

I try to keep my overhead doors closed as much as possible. Airborne dirt (farms behind me) and rapid humidity changes are what I'm mostly trying to avoid.

For me, a pull through would be handy if running a truck and trailer combo a fair amount, being able to drive it all indoors at the end of a trip and not have to immediately work on unloading things would be a benefit.

The central door cuts down the potential for vehicle storage also, just more jockeying around to use the single door unless its double-wide. But, that space in the corners could also be used for shop space, storage, etc.
