We're looking to construct a bldg to hold hay (and be accessed by a stack wagon--18 ft required), equipment, etc.
Here are some considerations:
Metal vs wood (cost, etc)
Need at least 50x100, with the capability to add more space
May wait to do a concrete floor, and some of the siding
(good or bad idea?)
We've got a fairly level site with good fall around it, in the woods so we can conceal it well but with good access
There are "internet specials" here and there amongst metal sellers, and the Mennonites build around here also (but I have not found them to be price pushovers by ANY means). I have a guy with a crew that will erect whatever I buy, metal or wood, by the hour, so I can help and use my equipment (have a little).
For example Rhino (Denton, TX) has a 75x133 of some sort, that has an 18 ft side to it. Morton and some of those guys, pricey for the kind of structure I am aiming for. It's a farm not Grosse Pointe.
I've read some of the prior threads but I'd just love to have the latest from you. Thanks in advance,
Jim
