New 30x40

[Whynot52]

New member so just wanted to say hi. Just finished building a house and a 30x40 pole barn/shop. Ive searched the forums and have found a TON of new ideas from goose neck lights to workbenches ...I finished my wiring last weekend and now I've got to start moving stuff in but I want to stay as organized as possible. While I'm snooping around checking out threads and photos feel free to drop any pointers lol.

Looks to me like you have made a great start. Will be following as you post more.

Welcome!

Did you build it yourself or have it done by others?

 

[Whynot52]

I bought the "kit" locally and had a guy help me out with everything

I operate a sign/lasering business on the side so some jobs will be in the shop from time to time, also have a 1930 model a ford project, small hobbies, etc. The doors are 10x10 roll ups. I went with grey/brown combo to match the house which is grey brick brown trim

Got compressor wired and fitted today finally. I haven't had much time to get out here in the last week

Had some time and made me a 12'x4' platform for some small storage...any floor space saved is a plus. Will add a LED under it and have my workbench below

Re: New 30x40 (update)

Little update...I finally got the cement poured to the shop and got my lights hung. Color matched some original Benjamin shades and filled them with some LEDs, wired to a motion sensor. Turned out better than I expected

Congratulations.

What was your approx cost on that pole barn kit? I'm looking to build the exact same size building and I'm torn between this and a pre fabbed steel kit.

RNN14Wolfe Id have to look back but I believe just the "Kit" was around $9k purchased not installed. That was with the metal trusses and bubble wrap, 10' brown doors. Cement is whats killer on budgets.

 

[RNN14Wolfe]

You got that right. Fortunately I have my slab poured already in preparation. Gotta do it in stages lol
