Mine is 54'x48'x14' Pole Barn. Stick built in these heights is very difficult.

I do recommend the 16' and 14' door, I only have a 12' door and it limits camper/RV use as a result.

My heat is IR Tube heater, but the in floor is great as long as you don't need to anchor anything in the future.

The challenge of a full insulated/heated shop is when you work and generate dust, it goes everywhere and gets on/in everything. I originally was going to have a larger storage (non-insulated/heated) area, and a smaller work area. This would have been better to keep the other trucks/items clean, but having the larger finished area gives me more work room options.

Lighting is important, so make sure you know what you want and how you intend to achieve it.

Also power/wiring is also important to consider as well as a bathroom/wash area.

If you have any idea that you will sell/move, don't. Don't build or don't move, as you will only likely recoup 10% of the investment in the shop when you well.
