Barn size and related questions

Posted by Nathan in Texas on March 27, 2006 at 13:06:03 from (216.167.183.158):

Okay, I've about decided on getting a 30' X 40' steel building put up. I've been quoted $12,150 for it with a 4" slab, overhead door, 1 entry door and a window and 12' tall walls.

What is going to go in the building is my Kubota L4200, 2 - Suzuki 250cc ATV's, Yamaha FZR 1000 Motorcycle, 46" Murray riding lawnmower, 1 push lawnmower plus my tools, a small welder and hopefully enough room to have a nice workshop area that I can start adding things like a table saw, drill press, etc. down the road.

I'm trying to decide if I want to have another 12 or 16 foot lean too put on the side of it to put my rotary mower, blade, maybe 12' and 16' trailers, etc. out of the worst weather but not take up space inside the building. Maybe even a small square hay baler or swather sometime down the road. I've thought about having the roof on the lean too part shorter than the rest to give it a little more protection. The price for adding the lean too on the side is pretty high compared to the price of the building overall, about $3,000 without cement. This is in West Texas where the sun is the worst part of the weather for equipment sitting outside. We get some rain but overall equipment left outside usually doesn't rust up, but tires and paint get to cracking from the sun fairly quickly. I also thought about putting cement on part of the lean too portion so I could set my quickattach loader on it when I wanted to do some stuff without the loader.

I'm trying to make up my mind on this and would appreciate any thoughts or input.

Thanks, Nathan
