A shop for preppy

From a Western Producer ad for a new 35X60 unassembled, 11' side walls, 18'8'' inside height, asking price is $20,000. Regina location.
It doesn`t state if it`s a steel or wood building.

Hey thanks for the tip, I will check it out. It is a tad smaller then I wanted, but for the right deal it would be worth it.

See the way I am looking at it, I would like a space for the backhoe, and a dump when i get one, I need to get as big as possible.

i think you're better off looking into arch-rib buildings. a pile cheaper for that size than pole and steel i think. much sturdier too.

Well in the end i would like to have a cement floor in it, with hopefully in floor heat, and would like the whole thing insulated. I dont know much about the arch ribbed buildings, anything else you can tell me about them?

hmmm... not a pile other than they are fairly simple to errect, really cost efficient, weather resistant... don't have a pile of experience with them but it'd be the way i'd go if putting up a large shop.

This is a brand new unassembled shop.
A 35X60 would get you by for a number of years, if and when you build a bigger shop use this one for parking storage and as a parts room.
In a 40 X 80 shop cement only the work area, the rest could be asphalt or crusher dust (which packs like cement).
