Pole barn must haves...

Gonna clear out about 15' all the way around; there will be a lean to each side eventually, so I am not sure about gutters yet.
Looking great Clay!!
Zoning permit received yesterday, signed contract and put my $ down today. Added the 3 additional windows to the top. Fuckin giddy!

Think I'd like to have one heavily insulated room built in that doesn't take much to heat/cool.
@SNIPERBBB I have to agree. 16' walls will allow 14' doors. I'm thinking 12' wide minimum for my building if it is on an end. Have you priced insulated 12'x14' doors? Wow! Pricey. Hope @5Cent gets what he wants, but if he is waiting to add electric. . . I'm guessing the insulated door could be added later?
You could insulate a garage door later. Not sure what the cost difference would be. Of course with prices going up its likely to be cheaper to buy the door insulated now
True. My buddy built one recently. He went full on Taj Mahal. $20-25k in 3" thick commercial grade doors. I agree with you though. There are ways to insulate later which would be adequate for 99% of us. Lol
You should do the gutters. Dave paid for them but didn't get them. I'm just sayin
I have insulated doors because they had them at very little markup.
Yes, gutters are good. Don't let the contractor cut the fucking drip edge off the roof panels!

14'x14' overhead door is insulated, and I have 5" gutters on her. Eventually will devise a water catchment system on the back part for the animals and garden.
Is there really a need for gutters if the rain water never makes it to the eaves with all the holes in the roof?!
LOL I say that yet I couldn't afford the gutter let alone the pole barn

I left the gutters off my building as they were $4k for a 54’ run on both sides plus downspouts.
There's a place past lima that sells premade food grade 55gallon plastic barrels for rain water catch and release
There is a guy in Lima that sells them too. Probably find some closer if you lunch it up on FB. I have the number for The Barrel Guy here. We used to set up at shows with him. Known him 10-15yrs now.
