i worked on the design for several years and then a longtime friend/Campfire guy took on the job of building my big garage based on two 40 foot containers. The enclosed space is 60 wide by 50 long and all but one of the trusses (an end wall) sit on top of the two parallel containers - all on a 6" slab done by another Campfire friend.
Those strong steel boxes provide a secure shop area on one side and secure storage on the other side. Stout, tight and fireproof - all metal construction. Took advantage of the opportunity and extended the roof line another 30 ft. on the outside, yielding a covered canopy 50 wide and 30 long at one end. Two 12x12 doors at one end and a 16x12 door centered on the canopy end.
Six vehicles easily, a four post lift and generous operating space - and an enclose 40x8 shop on one side and same for storage on the other. 120/240v power, compressed air along one side and outside under the canopy, plus other helpful goodies. i do like it.
