Finally got my new shop up still have to get power and LED lights but I'm glad to finally have it up ,now I can work on my cuda and dart.24'x26' not as big as I wanted but all I could afford.
 
Plenty of room to get into trouble. When the funds allow look into insulation for the roof. It will cook you pretty good once warm weather makes its way into your area.

I like mine and especially when it's raining. Fell asleep on the floor a while back with the dog listening to the rain hit the roof lol...

Ha! My little dog always gets under my car with me. I get distracted and we both end up napping. That happens when you get old.


Nice shop. Congrats to the OP!
 
Nice shop and I see you have a big shed next to it to store all your Mopar parts!
 
I have a recliner in mine for just such emergencies.
 
Mine is very similar at 24x28, but it has 9 foot legs with a 12' peak. My only regret is that I didn't go bigger.

Also, I am thinking of changing mine to a single door in front. I have two roll up doors like you. They are a little tight across the front.

All I need is space to work on one at a time. With the door in the center, or even on one side, I would have more room for "stuff" on either side of the door if in the center, or on the other side if on one side.

I've had mine up like ten years now. Concrete and all I have about 5K in mine.
 
Next is workbenches and LED lights just epoxied the floor,I found some insulation R17 1" thick thought about doubling it up that would be R34 in 2" thick with built in moisture barrier.

I thought about 1 16' door but I like 2 because I can close one and leave the other open.

great thing about 2 doors instead of one is, you can ask the wife to pull in a car, and when your ready to pull another one in, there is still room
guaranteed with a 16 foot door, she'll put that one car dead smack in the middle
:poke:

Everyone has their own opinion on the door thing but RRR is in my wheelhouse about the big single door. I had one on a previous residence and I miss it. It just made doing things easier. Since you have a simple metal structure like mine you can easily make the change down the road....
