Miracle Truss Buildings

[R_Gator]

Forgot to mention in the previous posting.... I will agree that a pole-shed is considerably less expensive, but using a Miracle Truss building allowed us to use 16' sidewalls and still keep the inside of the building open. We used the extra space to put a loft over the bathroom. (Thats where the "boys only" room is located) which works good for drinking beer and playing cards. Attachment shows the inside of building

I am thinking of putting up a 36' W 24' L miracle truss building and was wandering since it seems like the sales people are some what hard to deal with what would be the best approach? Also do feel wood siding would be better and a shingle roof ( I live in Ohio ) . /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif

There are lots of shed manufaturers. If you are uncomfortable dealing with one company, look to another. You will find someone who matches your goals & needs & personality. It is very competitive field, and some companies have taken strange paths to try to make sales. If you don't like their appoach now, look for someone better.

Here in Minnesota, a metal outside is the most durable, least upkeep required. I would never ever put an asphalt shingle roof on a farm building ever. Tin is no maintenence. Those shingles hold too much snow, tear off in wind, don't last as long. For siding, metal is a better bang for the buck for similar reasons. Perhaps you or your community requires a different look, and wood siding can fit in better.

Would not use anything but good metal for the roof tho, far far far less troubles over the next 50 years.

Not sure what you are asking for beyond that?

I found after searching a long time that the miracle truss frames would be easier ( In My Opinion )to build with using conventional wood purlins.
I started looking at the Perka frames. The Perka frames were listed on EBay. I contacted Perka directly through the EBay bid for steel frames only. My info was forwarded to their New England Rep. So then I was repeatedly contacted regarding turnkey installations. I wasn't interested in having the building installed. I was just looking for the steel frames as listed on EBay. I never got a delivery price for any frames just inflated quotes for the entire turnkey building. The quotes were higher than Miracle Truss. I think ( My opinion again ) that Perka depends upon your area distributor. HTH.

Like many others, I'm looking to build a shed this spring. I started another topic about the Socket System.

In case you want to visit their web site, it is:

After getting some preliminary prices, it looks like a 30 x 50 x 12 building will be about $500 more expensive, but easier to build.

One fellow has some really great photos of building his shed. You might want to consider this as another possibility. At this point I'm still not sure which way to go.
