I'm going to be building a new shed in the next 5 years. I'm looking right now at a 60' by 125 or 130' building. I'm wondering if anyone has seen a good design site for buildings on the net. What would be a good shop size for general tractor use and equipment restoration purposes. I am leaning towards 40' wide by 60' deep with in floor heating with one overhead door in it. I'm also wondering if anyone has experience with large bifold doors as I really would rather get away from sliders. Any info would help.

Due to location and size, I wasn't able to do this and would have if there would have been a feasible way to do it. I would suggest putting two doors (12 foot wide) on at least one bay of the shop. This way when bringing in a project that isn't under it's own power, you can open the two doors and drag it straight in...instead of having to push/pull the project in. I've worked in a few places where this was and was not an option. Trust me whatever the expense for this is will pay off the first time you have to use it.

Your county cooperative extension office should have lots of publications of building designs.

Here's a good one for starters--it's geared toward ag stuff, but has some other stuff as well.
