  Morton or other buildings-prices

I faced the same dilemma 2 years ago. I really wanted the looong haul. We have termites, carpenter ants, carpenter bee, and rot in my area. I like low maint. and few worries. I have seen "treated" poles rot off in 20 years. The bug have attacked all that I have.

I looked into all steel buildings, no wood at all. I liked what I saw and liked the idea of clear span. I bit the bullet and went steel although it cost a bit more. I have no worries from bugs and water. EVERTHING is bolted and screwed if repairs are needed from a tree falling or reckless tractor driver.

If you are considering doing it yourself or with a local contractor, check out Miracle Truss, and Kentucky Steel buildings, they used a system of trusses rather than I beams and may be easier for the average person. I chose I-beam for price and had local guy build it. I went with a high pitch to match house and garage, not low pitch like an industrial warehouse.
