Finally, New shop build

[black2002ls]

Have you looked at Texwin? That’s who did mine. It’s “light weight” but the ratings are very strong. Unless I was hoisting stuff from the beams, I just couldn’t justify spending an extra $30,000 for red iron.

I started looking at those when I re-read your post. Our builder is also a distributor for Texwin. I think he mentioned it would be $6000 less than red iron. So, I'm using his ~$26,500 as a reference point.

Right now, it looks like I'm going to do 30x40. The building will sit long way when you pull into the driveway. 2 12x10 roll ups at the driveway. 1 8x8 roll up, 1 walk door, 2-3 windows on the side facing the yard. On the back, a pair of windows where the laser and wood shop will be. Waiting on a bid from Mueller tonsee how their pricing is.

The builder for our home quoted $32500 turn key for 30x40, red steel, spray foam insulated, with a single roll up and walk door. I feel like I can shave a good bit off of that.

Go 12 footndoors if you can and do the 30x50 if you can. I wish I had a 60x100

Yeah, so far I've only tired to get it inside to work on it once or twice... no go.

I can back it in about 6' or so but the boom pedestal is just a little to high to get under the door.

I've got a concrete apron in front that I'm using when necessary to do repairs.

That's a lot of air to let out and fill back up each time

I'll bet, and i'm guessing its not a daily driver.

Air down the tires?

I used 12 foot walls with 10 foot doors on my building.... and wouldn't you know it... the bucket truck I just bought is about 6" too tall to get through the door. Arrrrggh!!

Shop

30X40 here with 14' side walls and 10X12 doors front and back. Makes it usable for RV's if/when I sell.

I should have gone 30x40 atleast. Definatly don’t skimp on the wall height.

I was planning 12'

They had a pad poured for a 30x50, which seems much bigger than I need. I was thinking 30x40. I need to do a layout and see how it sets up.

I'm glad this came up. We just put a deposit on a new build in Caddo Mills on 1 acre and we will be building a shop. I'm trying to decide how big we want to go. I want room to pull the truck in to work on it, and park if necessary. I need a room for the lasers, a room for the wood shop and a spray booth (small paint projects), and the yard equipment. This helps me get a visual.

Its looking dang good!

I hate you, simply because it is not mine.
