Was finally granted a variance by the HOA and am about to wire a deposit on this 16’ x 35-37’ steel building, non insulated, no windows, walk door and 10’ x 12’ garage door from Great Western.

They sent me an email regarding price hikes coming next Friday, which I suspect is a sales tactic but maybe not given the state of the union.

Does anyone have any experience with them? My initial quote is $26,838.00 without delivery (going to rent a gooseneck and pick it up).

I’m also debating whether I order the building without the garage door and spec that later from a garage door guy?

$792 for a steel side door kit? Any reason to not just wood frame it out and do home cheapo door?

Another item of suspicion is that they want $2500 for engineered slab on grade plans, I found a guy who will stamp these for much cheaper.

Overall they have been much more professional and responsive than any company in Utah I’ve contacted, most of them doing beer can tube buildings.

Thanks for any input this is my first steel building and a big purchase.

I’ve read many comments to the effect of ‘I heard it overheats’.

75 F / 23.9 C degrees air temp. First ride was 2 miles out and back 400’ of vertical gain, motor was at 49 C/ 120 F upon return, pretty much asking everything of the board on the way up going fast. I then repeated this ride but was going walking pace with a date and to my surprise it gave me pushback (176 F / 80 C) 30 yards from the top.

The motor went from 80 C to 72 C in about 15 minutes, so I’d say it does cool quickly, and I suspect the slow walking pace up also contributed to the rapid rise in motor temp on the second ride.

Food for thought. I’ve been very happy with this board. Still regret not going hypercharge but the range is awesome.

And on an added note I feel bad for people shelling out money on a GT-S/GT/XRC, this board absolutely crushes a GT-S and the ability to toggle the footpad sensor settings in VESC tool in conjunction with the power makes it feel SO SAFE.

Hi folks.

I am interested in having a 16’ x 35’ x 12’ non insulated building done to house a small shop and park my truck and truck camper in. I will be doing a slab on grade and all permitting myself but as far as the building goes I don’t know where to begin.

I am in Utah.

Is it recommended to find a local steel building guy or order through a large company like this one? There is no shortage of people advertising locally that do these. I will need financing for the building but not the concrete. Best to go through the manufacturer financing or take out a construction loan?

I need 11’ clearance for my camper setup, what eave height might I need, 12’?

Thanks for any input.
