Concrete In Pole Shed

[Sodbuster]

We put a 40’ door in ours and wish we would have gone to 45’ now, just saying.

So we landed on 48x60x18 with a 24ft wide x 16ft overhead door. The price tag will be in the $125K range. Post building with Goodon.

Just wondering if I should have got that door wider.

maybe ? when we run 2 combines in side by side its a little tight
we have 26 foot bifold
it has served us well but get on the phone and change it to 24' x 18' bifold
you will never regret it , bet not much more either , we have had more trouble with overhead than bifold and almost impossible to get airtight seal on overhead like bifold with auto lock , goodon won't install overhead either but will bifold unless it changed
spend a little extra on remotes that stop partway and definitely auto lock
thats shop is the same size as ours exactly , you will be happy with the size
we have a 16' overhead on the side at one end
sure nice for snow tractor etc.
ours was $68 k with 18' x 26' bifold and 16' x 16' overhead in 2017
no inflation there lol
but canola was $9
PM if you have questions

I turned my pole shed into a heated shop 7 years ago. Floor is 6" thick with in floor heat. We put a 2 X 6 all the way around the inside and poured up to it. Not a crack so far but that's due to a very good packing job when I built the pad for the pole shed. I think it also helps that the weight of the walls is solely on the poles and not at all on the concrete.

Don't forget to put some Ipex water line in the floor in case you ever want to heat the building. A heated shop floor makes for a nice workshop. Only thing is that if you ever want to bolt anything to the floor you have to know where the lines are. I didn't put insulation under the slab, but 2 FT out on the outside perimeter. Don't know if it's better or worse put it seems to work...floors nice and warm in the winter.
