Well I am contemplating a 50x80, going big enough to put everything out of the sun and snow...pole barn was my first choice up until I realized that I have a high water table at 3' below grade, so I will just do a steel building on pilings 50x80 is bit for a wood building, especially if you want clear spans. If you can live with poles in the middle of the building then wood would probably work. My shop is 50x60 and the engineer said I need to go steel in order to have clear span beams that would support a 1 ton bridge crane. Wood wasn't even in the running.

Mine will just be a 12x28 Main concern is condensation with steel vs wood Condensation is not a problem if you insulate the building. If you leave the exterior panels exposed to the inside of the building with zero insulation then you'll have a problem. But that won't be your only problem since your heat bill will also be sky high.

That is a big overhang for a snow load.

That look nice. I see that you used a steel interior in your wood building. That is a good idea in a shop since the steel siding will stand up to more abuse than drywall. It is a little harder to install though. Thanks, The inside walls are 7/16 OSB covered with Steel for fire proofing and as you stated durability. Also ease of clean up...hose and a mop...just gotta get to it. My Plasma table makes a brown mess of everything.

Did you insulate under the OSB? If so, that would make for a very nice shop. Insulation, then OSB and then a steel liner on top would be a heck of a combo. there is 7/16 OSB on the exterior with Tyvec, 6" fiberglass in the walls. a 4 mil vapor barrier and then additional 7/16 OSB. The Steel screwed directly to the OSB. The building is tighter than a Zip Lock bag. I have radiant floor heat that cost less than $100/mo to keep 2000sq at 60deg 24/7. Turning on the lights raised the room temp 3 degs Again thank you. I am proud of this shed, I designed and built all aspects (except the concrete - I let younger backs do that) from the building lay out, electrical and heating system and the only thing I would change is the concrete contractor... long story - poor workman ship

I built a hybrid steel truss garage 30x40 about 10 years ago. Gives you the benefits of both wood and steel buildings Did all the work myself except concrete. I heat with a wood a stove since I have endless amounts firewood. It does seem strong had a tornado come through the backyard a few years ago and no damage. https://miracletruss.com/One nice feature that accidentally happened was I ended up with a loading dock in the back. It is nice to being able to backup and roll large items out my pickup.

That is a really bare bones low end building. More of a storage shed than a shop. Better than nothing though, that is for sure. A buddy of mine has one of those. I call it the glorified shed.
