Planning a shop build, any suggestions?

Cuda Hunter, I don't understand, you say you build these elaborate garages, but you have a "Pole Barn". A pole barn is good for outside storage, like a boat or camper, but for a working room as a shop/ garage that should be squeaky clean, a pole barn is not the way to go.

For all you guys beating me up, I think you have misinterpreted my #61 post. A person that builds "high end" garages, built himself a pole barn. I'm not saying a pole barn will not work, but as a builder, why not build the better one for himself.

I just "own" a pole barn. Definitely didn't build it. It's down in some AG territory that I happen to own land in. Again, I didn't build it. It was built in the 50's. Still there, but all the wood has termite rot. Going to have to rebuild it or tear it down.
One of my employees is down there camping at this moment, tearing out all the baseplates and replacing with treated lumber dipped in termite control stuff. Then the studs will be replaced next. Then I'm going to closed cell foam the entire building. 30x30. "hunting camp"

Wasn't trying to beat up all you guys with pole barns. I realize they have been built forever and they are still the go to in some areas of the country due to them being cheap. I've built a few pole barns. Whatever you want as a client, I can build, at my cost. My engineer/architect would beg to differ with anyone about pole barns.

We have some of the driest dirt in the nation out here and wood still deteriorates pretty quickly in 20 years or so. That's quick in my book as I build houses that should last 2-3 hundred years with minimal maintenance.
