Buy a 40 ft engineered truss. Place them either on 24" or 36" centers. Whatever engineered for. Use 2 2X12 with plywood glued between them for the plates to sit your trusses on. Use 8X8 or even 10x10 treated post spaced 16 ft apart. Uses treated 4X4 to make brace between post and plate. Use lag bolts and notch 8X8 1/4" deep to place brace into. Cover with tin, aluminum or covering of choice. Let engineered know what you are going to use so trusses can be designed appropriately. You can build it as high or low as you like. With this design if you need addition space in the future you can add to the sides(lean to ) for minimal cost.
I am looking at building a second one like this this year. Cost of materials for a 40w X 48L is approx $6000. This includes, hurricane straps, nails, bolts glue, bracing etc.
If you would like a couple of pic of how I have done mine email me.
