I'm currently getting quotes to have a post frame metal building built for my shop/man cave. I'm trying to decide what layout of the doors/building would work best. I have settled on a 36x40 building. Below are the two options that I'm going back and forth between:

1. 36' deep, 40 foot wide with one 12x12 garage door and one 10x16 door on the side of the building.

2. 40' deep, 36' wide with two 12x12 garage doors in the gable end of the building.

I'm planning on 14' walls so I can store my 5th wheel in the building and have a lift in the future. What layout would you prefer and why? Just want to get other peoples input so I cover all my bases. Thoughts?

I spend a lot of time in my shop and like having the doors on separate walls to help with air flow through the shop. But, I would think that it might be very helpful have the doors on opposite walls so you can drive the 5th wheel straight through and drop it rather than backing it in. Maybe 3 doors are in order.
