Guys, gotta do something about boat storage. I’ve got a camper pad without any type of structure on it. Looking for something fully enclosed without breaking the bank. Been looking at the portable carports, but looking for other ideas. Want it lockable, cause it’s away from my house. Something like this with 3 full walls and a roll up door maybe. Metal buildings are steep!

Just put it under my carport with the keys in it and I'll look after it for you.

That shed you're looking at is the cheapest way to go. They make a roll up door that rolls up like a rug that won't take
away from the door height. Drive T post at each wall stud and U bolt it to the stud and it will stay there. They will put
it up in a couple of hours.
I'm looking at doing the same thing. The concrete is going to cost as much as a 30x40 shed
A store near me has a 20X20 carport for $500. That's what I got.
I saw some metal siding on craigslist at a good price.
New siding? The Batesville dealer is cheaper than the Hernando dealer.
Luckily my FIL already has a pad to use.Quote:

If you have a pad, build a pole barn around it......... can be as nice or as bare bones as you want.
That’s what i was thinking too. I just have to lock it down. The locals have sticky fingersQuote:

Well, nothing can stop a determined thief. Get good insurance and try to inconvenience the thief so they mess with someone easier!Quote:

Red iron I-beam constructed metal buildings, cost anywhere from $15-$25 per sq. foot. Cost Depends on roof pitch, inside panels, roll-up doors, windows, etc.

I did wood frame metal building with metal roof trusts. Nailed to concrete, like framing a house. Cheaper than metal frame.
Been looking at doing the samething. I saw where TNT carports had an 18x21 for $795. One of the reasons I have not bought a newer boat is bc I don't have anywhere to store it. And you are right pouring a concrete slab is as expensive as the shed.
wood is cheaper than red iron. Wood is not cheaper than the metal carports. I had a metal carport installed for maintenance ease, and longevity. Not necessarily price, but it was a nice bonus that it was cheaper than a wood structure. Why do you bunch of sissys need concrete slabs ??? My boat trailer is setting on a nice limestone gravel pad, and it doesn't seem to mind. Cost about 200.00 in limestone for a 20x26.
I’ll be using mine for more of a shop. Store the boat in one side. Use the other side for mowers, tractors, vehicle maintenance. I like concrete for crawling under a vehicle as opposed to gravel.Quote:

i don't know if yall have a lot of them in north ms but down here chicken farms are a huge deal. there are multiple outfits around that build these but they also build pole barns using the chicken house trusses. these trusses cutdown tremendously on the amount of wood needed to roof it. i have a friend that just built a 40 by 40 with 3 inclosed sides a roll up door, two windows, and a standard walkin door. i think he had about $4800 in it not counting the slab.
No chicken houses in north ms . Most salvage chicken house material I've seen in the past would require some type of nuclear cleaning solvent to remove the chicken poop. Definitely not for me... but hey I think Mo runs around with Torch so he may not mind that . Bottom line . It's hard to complete with a installed metal carport at the prices they sell them for. no hunting down material, No begging your contractors to show up . The carport guys show up with all the material, 2 hours later your backing your crappie rig under it. Another plus for me is metal carports can be easily taken apart and moved if you sell your place. And yes Speck , I'm with you . If used for a mechanic shop , concrete preferred.
I’m looking into it myself. Think I’m going the pole barn route with Reed’s Metals. 40’*30’ with walk-in door and 2 12*8 garage doors. They are comparable to all others I’ve priced and very reputable from what I can tell. Think I’ll have $15k with insulation and slab with a little extra concrete on the outside. Anyone ever used them? Know they have a place in Tupelo.

Dang, that’s the cheapest I’ve heard with the concrete. Seems to be so expensive for the concrete to be done

“I know a guy who knows a guy” on the concrete. His company pours huge warehouses all across the country. Prob add another $2000 without him and his prices, labor, and equipment.Quote:

Check with Made Right Buildings. They are in the Trade Winds. They did my 30x62 with insulation,concretea pad and shed out back for my compressor,roll up and walk in door for 21K. The difference was in the concrete. They put it up for what I could buy the materials for and I didn't have to touch it.

I've seen a few of these set up with roll up doors.

Go with Canebreaker next time he's dumpster diving . He finds tons of building materials that way .
If that doesn't work out he can probably find you a great deal on the web. He's the best I've ever seen.
X3!!!!!!!!
