Shop?

[THE LINK]

Looking at building a shop around 50x60 or a little bigger. Stick built or pre-fab steel. Just looking for some input on what you all would recommend and where to obtain the supplies. Thanks.

i believe you can go to lowes or something like that and get some plans drawn up with estamates on materials.
then compair to a prefab.

Check some of the stell building sites like; general steel, american steel. They are others also but not sure what they are.

X2 on the steel building. Check online. There are tons of cheap (relative) options out there.

Stick built: easy to make it match the look of your residence.

Steel building: harder/more expensive to make it match a residence. Steel is more fire retardant, especially when grinding/welding inside.

Could be that it doesn't really matter how it looks...

I plan to build a shop way in the future but I've started dreaming early to nail down all the specifics.

I don't know if this website will be of any help, but at least you can get a free brochure and maybe some ideasMiracle Truss Steel Buildings


And you probably want to spend some time on Pirate's Shop & Tools forum, specifically this thread: Things I'd change about my shop

Good luck, and take some pictures!
