Tube frame/carport style garage/shop

[kipper09]

I been getting ready to build a garage/shop.. 40x80x16 ish or in that general size idea. Got a couple quotes. I beam just the shell and concrete about 350k without any interior lighting, electrical, plumbing or anything, also got a quote on a stick frame on block foundation and that quote really floored me at 600k. I started researching some and found some companies, like grizzly steel structures and carport central and those size buildings I’m seeing 50-80k ish…. Again not finished and no concrete at that number.

So my question is, will a tubular galvanized frame building like that hold up?? I was thinking of spray foaming or insulating it and putting some kind of heat and ac in because I’m going to put a batting cage, half volleyball net and some space for the kids to do their chosen sports/ weight gym area and maybe a kick out man cave area for the mounts and a bar/ place to hang out……but when they are grown and moved out I’d like to have it for boat storage and tractors. Just stuff I have around the house. Anybody have any experience with this type of thing?? Any input I would love to hear.

I will let you know in a few weeks what the quote will be for my 40x80x16 pole barn. It will have 6" concrete floors, insulated panels behind the siding steel, 26ga steel on the roof and sides (vs 29ga), 8x8 posts with rot protectors (vs 6x6), insulation and vapor barrier in the ceiling, scissors trusses, (2) 12x14 insulated doors, (1) 10x12 insulated door and (2) 36" man doors and 8 windows. All 3 OH doors will have openers. Pioneer Pole Buildings will be the installer. Your quotes appear to be quite high.

I looked at the steel buildings like the agricultural type.....you don't get much for that 80K. Not for me.

Good info. I actually left that part out. I do have a pole barn quote. 120k without any concrete, but does include the building, insulation, and liner panel on all interior. So I’m thinking concrete formed poured and finished will be 30-40k..
