Hey everyone. If you were to build a garage, would you build a pole building or a standard block and studded building? I will be starting to build a 32' x 32' garage soon and the price difference is making me wonder which way to go.
I built a 60 x 100 pole with the intent of insulating and did so with xtra wide industrial insulation. I lined the inside walls and ceiling with the same metal as outside. Used blown insulation in attic. Used arch styled regular shingles on the roof out side. Inside height is 16 foot clear, price diff for 18 was not not much different. Laid plastic on earth before pouring cement. Acts as a great moisture barrier. 80 foot track drain. Two radiant heat tubes. 1,000 gallon propane pig. Insulated very well. Nice and crisp and dry. When not inside keep at 48 degrees, when goofing off in barn turn up to 68. Only takes minutes. Cost only 850 dollars to heat for this entire winter. Located in rust belt snow zone. Good luck.
