For the width, I'd sketch out a plan of travel to get your equipment in and out of the building on paper. Up to 40' seems to be most economical with wood framing. For the door height, based on doors in the endwall, it would depend on your frost depth, and/or local codes and winds. Around here I use 40" to 48" (PA) and would base my building on standard posts if possible. If you need 18' posts, the price per foot is about the same for 20', versus 16' posts which are quite a bit less the the 18' footage rate. The door height should be the same as the sidewall height, with the sliding door hung on the truss bottom chord. I would think about double doors with good door hardware. It will often allow for a little smaller building because you can work more parking spaces inside with less room for "driveways."

Good luck.

Bill
