Building new pole barn
I need some storage space , like 15 x 40, at my hunting place. Inexpensive.
I am thinking 6" slab, and 2x4 walls, simple roof. In UP Michigan.....................DO I Need a foundation, or just 6" slab would be OK for a stick built??????????????
More or less workshop, Atv , tractor storage.
Tahnks for your comment.

Building new pole barn
Thanks,
I was affraid , that I'll read this kind of answer.
My place is close to Iron Mountain, east part of UP w/ annual snowfall 75". Nobody will see anything, no permit needed.I think, never applied for any.
5 years ago I built a screen house 10x10 , home made truses, one day the entire frame was done , next day roof and screen and a small patio. Next weekend a paint job.
2x6 base 2x4 verticals, luan walls. the only expensive item was a paint. 6 years later all looks like new. I stopped there in the winter 2 years ago while snowmobiling/and staying in the motel/, and it was burried in snow, I only saw a top 1/3. I thought I could get away with a similar concept, just a LITTLE more durable. Maybe I am gonna do a bunch of piers, set 2x6 on them and skip a concrete. Or a small pole building. and a concrete later. I go there only about 20 times in the spring /summer, winterized in October, that's it.
I don't know what's the best solution/concept for this application.
I didn't think about a trailer,somehow I had a concrete floor on my mind....?????
I will have to rent a backhoe and do it right. Damn, no shortcuts at this time....
Thanks a million,
Joe
P.S. Maybe, I am going to NEED a backhoe, haha.

Building new pole barn
EW,
I'd like to build something there.
I will have to, and I will, find a solution. And if the solution is a smaller wooded building on 4x6, or I'll rent a backhoe and do it right or a metal box you suggested,I am on my own , since a local help is out of picture.
I def. underestimated a foundation part of my project.
YP,
since I am about 35 miles west from eastern time zone/Escanaba/ I just feel like being east. You're right IM is at a western part of UP.
Thanks,
Joe
