I've been thinking about building a pole barn/shop. Metal siding and roof. Like what Menards sells, if you are familiar with them.
So one end would be a garage and the other more of a barn type.
Do concrete floor in the shop side and wood or gravel floor in the barn end. There would be a partition wall in between. Have an overhead door for the shop, big sliding door for the barn side and a walk through door too.
Anybody done something like this?
We just bought our own place. When we lived on the ranch we had a barn that was set up for horses on one end and a garage/shop on the other and it was pretty handy. It was a log structure though.
It'll be next summer at the earliest before I get started. So I'm looking for ideas, things you wish you would of done/not done, etc.

Put up a barn for my tractors similar to what you are describing. I put the shop beside it, and insulated it and finished out the inside myself. Either way you go, it's work, but you have something worth it in the end.

I planning on building something similar on my farm in the next couple years. Garage on one end and equipment storage on the other. I'd suggest making sure the ceiling/doorways have plenty of clearance. If your planning on pouring some concrete, I'd put in pipe for radiant floor heating(you can't add it later), especially if there's animals nearby it's a great way to thaw hoses.

Kingston, that is looking great! What are you using siding?

I used 6x6 posts( cut from light poles) and prefabbed 30' house trusses for mine. 30'x40'
Down in these parts it's real common to use chicken house trusses and 2 7/8" tubing. For pole barns.
