[QUOTE="Black 03 Z06, post: 121414, member: 1852"] Jim I think the old saying is you can never build them big enough. I do think you are on the right track. Mine is 24 wide by 36 deep and approximately 10 feet high inside. The 36 foot dimension works well but the 24 foot width not so good. With two cars parked side by side you start to get very cramped if the vehicle doors are open. Too close to the other vehicle or too close to the wall. Your 30 foot dimension would have worked well for me. I have a work bench at the back on the side wall. Some storage racks on the back wall and the rest is pretty much wide open. I have two 8 foot doors on the 24 foot dimension and a man door on the 36 foot dimension. I have only two slider windows and they are on the same side as the man door on the 36 foot dimension. I used steel siding and a steel roof. That has held up well. The gable ends are on the 24 foot dimension because of snow load and snow sliding off the roof. If the snow slides off and you don't clear it right away it is going to be a frozen mess. I will be interested in what you end up with. Good luck with your new project. [/QUOTE]
