Pollack Pete 2,273 #1 Posted May 9, 2015 My new building arrived almost a month and a half early.Good thing I've been preparing for about 3 weeks.I had to get rid of about 7,000 pounds of scrap metal.Cut down 4 trees and take out 2 of the stumps,take down my garden fence,move my chicken coop,and spread and roll 90 tons of crusher run.The three guys who built the building rolled into my back yard about 9:15 this past Thursday morning and unloaded their truck and trailer and started working.5 minute water break in the late AM.Half hour pizza and wing break about 4 PM.Building was done,mess cleaned up,tools and equipment loaded back up,and they left about 8:30 PM.I never saw 3 guys work so hard and fast.The building is all steel construction,30 ft by 30 ft.12 foot high walls.Two 10 by 10 roll-up doors,36 by 80 inch personel door.I'm going to use the building for equipment storage and to store some of my Horses that have been living outside.I'm going to put some metal shelving that I bought about 10 yrs ago along the side walls.No electric power,no heat,no insulation,just a crusher-run floor.Plain and easy storage.Here's some pics. 15 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Theroundhousernr 590 #6 Posted May 9, 2015 I have been tossing around the idea of the steel garages , stick build or pole buildings. I like yours alot! Did you order yours from a lowes or homedepot. Or did you buy it from a shed dealer? I hope to have one by the end of summer going into winter. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

squonk 43,714 #8 Posted May 9, 2015 Those buildings do go up fast! Don't ever put an oil-less compressor in one! And to think my wife is hesitating on a 5 X 6 plastic shed that I want to buy for her for Mother's Day to put her garden stuff in Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JeffreyLKY 43 #16 Posted May 10, 2015 Nice structure! If I might suggest a bubble insulation (very inexpensive) for the ceiling, the sweating metal won't cover your belongings. Love the garage though...good size to accomodate toys! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wheel-N-It 2,976 #17 Posted May 10, 2015 Nice shop Pete. It was wise of you to build up the stone as much as you did to keep the rainwater fron backing up in the building. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Marv 979 #18 Posted May 10, 2015 Pete, Very nice building. After all the glowing comments I am very reluctant to say this, but I must. In two weeks it will be too small. I thought mine wouldn't be but it is. Marvin Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
