I plan on a 30'x50' w/ 12 or 14' walls mostly for storing my boat, motorcycles, car lift, area for a wood working shop, etc.. I don't plan to use it much in the winter but I'll put a wood burning stove in there for when I need it. Prob don't plan on AC in there but would put some large fans in it when it's too hot. Prefer wood frame as it'll be more versatile for me over metal. Siding I plan on pine board and batten. Metal roof. Probably won't be insulating it and I won't be living in it either, just occasional work, etc...
I was quoted around $140K CAD ($100K USD) w/ 12' walls for a stick build with proper concrete foundation, metal roof, no electrical. I haven't gotten any quotes on a pole barn yet but my guess (hope) is that it'll come in a bit cheaper? I suspect a pole barn will be good enough for my use case and ideally I can keep cost down a bit to spend elsewhere. Just curious what you think about what I should build?
