Small pole shed/carport

Anyone want to provide a quick guestimate of the material cost, and where could I get plans or a sketch of such a structure?

I bought this kit at an auction this summer and just put it up a few weeks ago. The size is 18'x 20', but the package called it 20'x20'. (They measure the 1' overhang on the ends.) It was new in package and never assembled. I paid $75 for the the frame kit and 28 pieces of 3'x10' steel siding which should be enough to do the roof and two sides.
The manufacturer is VersaTube(www.versatube.com).
I went together is about 4 hours with 2 people. After I bought it, I priced out the materials at Menards:
Frame Kit: $800 (sale price)
14 pieces of White Steel for roof: $147
14 pieces of Brown Steel for sides $175

I see the carports such as you have set up at these places that sell portable storage buildings advertised for $695.00, of course, delivery and assmebley are probably more.

What I was debating was weather is was more cost effective to buy the poles, wood and roofing tin to build something with a shed roof.

It looks like the prefab is the way to go, that way when I move it can go with me and I can always add sides later and cement the floor if desired.

Last summer I did price out materials for a 18'x 24' Loafing shed at Menards. Roof slopes all one way and tin on three sides. It came to about $1800 the way I wanted it. Oh, by the way, is a WD45 with loader, WD and a Farmall B. When I finish it I hope to fit one more in.

Hi All,

I couldn't help but throw this in. :>)

I'm havin' a heck of a time keeping this contractor at task.

He has the siding, electrical, 4 windows and 5 doors to go. He should have been done last July.

So now, I simply refer to it as my $15,000 carport.
