New barn

I built a 60' x 40' Morton building within the last year in Northern Texas. I grew up with Morton in the midwest and their quality is of the highest standards. They will be anywhere from 20% - 35% higher than most but it is worth it. They had mine up in 6 business days after promising 14! Crews are top notch guys.
For heating, I recommend in floor water heat. Two of my friends in Illinois have airplane hangers (80' x 100' clearspan Morton buildings) heated with floor water only and it is incredible how warm the building is. One place the hoses in the sand under the concrete floor while the other placed the hoses in the 5" concrete. Both work good with each boiler only at 50% of capacity. I chose not to put in floor heat in Texas since our cold season is nothing compared to the north. I am not an expert on floor / radiant heat but after seeing what my two buddies did, I am sold on it if I ever move to a colder climate.

New barn

I have always thought the higher the better. It's not like it's going to blow over in a high wind or cost that much more to heat or cool if insulated properly. The real cost is the 2' in wall height and little bit of insulation or finishing material used. Send me your e-mail address and I will send you a link to my building on the Morton site if they still have it archived. My e-mail is "az@netscape.com"
