Show me your 24x36x12 pole barns

[Ksalvojr15]

Hello all, new to forum. I'm hoping to have a 24x36x12 pole barn built in the next year. I'd appreciate anyone that has photos of this size building. I'm looking for inspiration and orientation for my building.

I'm hoping to have 1 bay as a shop area with a bench and table, and 2 bays worth of general storage, oil changes, etc. Hope to hear from you guys

Technically my building is not 24'x 36"x 12' but close. I had to stagger the rear wall to be able to squeeze the building between my septic system & an angled property line. My original intent was a 3 bay for parking 2 vehicles on one side with a work area for one on the other. I added 2 lifts & it got a bit crowded.

I hope that your 24' wide and 36' deep. I've worked in shops that are 24' deep and that is tight if your working on both ends of the rig. Having the door on the 24' eve wall allows you two bays that are 36' long. In the back of the shop you have a 12'x24' area for the storage, benches, tools and other shop items. That is what I did in my last shop with a kicked up roof over the 12x24' area to put in a second floor.

Here's my 25x36x12...strange dimension, I know. Just as I was starting the project I found a small truss manufacturer selling 17 25' attic trusses that were custom ordered by another customer but never delivered. They were half price. So I made my building a foot wider than I had planned.

I am struggling with setting my grade for my 24x36. I have a 16" slope from back to front on the 36' side. I was going to leave it high, and have the builder add skirtboards along the low side. Problem is, thats my driveway side.

My father (40 yr. Carpenter) thinks I should match the building's concrete floor to my driveway height and cut a swale on the backside.

Im concerned about water intrusion from the rear, and he is very confident it can be taken care of with the dirt work. Any thoughts?

She's up! Had to make adjustments for heavy rain. so i even got to try a concrete bag retaining wall, something ive been interested in for awhile.

Now I'm on to my new concrete floor. How can I protect from oil changes and spills without breaking the bank? I'm over buget and my timeline is shot, but I'm happy with the build. Im leaning more towards a sealer over a coating, but hope someone has some info.

It is not feasible for me to spend 5k on a professional epoxy floor. Thanks
