hands down , metal, over time a wood barn will develope leaks ,which will result in rotting truss or sheeting . it will sweat on the underside , which will be bad on the sheeting boards, steel will cost more , but will last more than a lifetime ,
Why would a pole building with metal roof leak more than a steel building with metal roof? Do people want metal buildings so they can allow the roof to leak? Seems you would just want to keep your roof from leaking, like on a house made of wood.
In 1996, I bought this place with a pole building barn that was built in 1974. I'm just wondering when I should expect it to collapse. And what would cause it to collapse? What is the cause of all the pole buildings not lasting, assuming you have a good roof?
