Building new pole barn
For anyone that can take a business tax deduction on a pole building, I looked into metal ones on e-bay for example. They and others have finance co's. that told me that if I can write if off, go with a 5-year lease and then I can pay $1 to have it put in my name. Leases on a metal building can be depreciated over 5 years versus a wood/metal pole building that takes 27 or 28 years. Reason is a metal buildings, in theory, can be easily disassembled and repossessed if you default on the loan. A 40x60 would have cost me abou $280 a month.

Chris: I'm not sure what you mean by a typicial suburban shed.
Metal buildings can be configured pretty much any way you want them---like they say "it's only money". Check out FBi buildings. They have an assortment of buildings, most or all of which are not "metal" buildings. They have some innovative designs and are the builders also. Check out their concrete sub-posts. Metal buildings cost about 1/3 to 1/2 more than wood and metal but the tax incentives are there for all metal.

praha, Im near Detroit and the footingas have to be a min. 42"---I think they are much deeper in the UP, as is the roof snow load rating, which down ehre is 30 lb. per sq. ft.---might be 2-3 times that in the UP--just guessing. We get about 30 inches of snow per season down here. Up there you can get 6' in one snow fall.
Have you thought about (2) 8' x 40' steel shipping containers side by side? You can cut window and door openings easily. Out west they stack them and turn them into homes and offices. They don't need a foundation either---just put them up on blocks or piers--or on the ground (but they'll rust quicker)
I've seen guys use them spread apart and a flat or peaked roof between them

Joe if you're referring to my reply, they're not trailers---they get transported on trailers or rollbacks. They're big steel boxes and come in three different sizes usually--20', 40'(?) 53'(?).
