    I personally would avoid. They are weaker than a post frame but priced pretty similar. They are quickly installed and don’t require footers just a flat surface.

    Super strong. Great option but can be expensive and time consuming to install.

    I couldn’t find one that would embed so just click the link.

    These can be built with pretty wide spans, but have there limitations. For most residential shops, garages, etc. it’s the best bang for your buck.

    I was going to do the same a couple years back but couldn’t find a *reasonable* price so I built it by my self. Got a bigger building for less money. Not for everyone though.

    There are truss kits that mount on top of 6x6 posts that’ll span what your wanting to do.

    Hard to beat for a free span design.

    For me it comes down to time, I just don't have the to do it myself and need it built asap.
