I understand it's obviously a little more roof steel and a little shorter on the leans but still for putting trailers or shorter equipment skid steer attachment or a place for cattle to just get out the elements. I would think the cost would be by far cheaper to add a lean than another building? Maybe I missing something I just know a lot of guys who have multiple sheds when probably a 3rd of half of the stuff would fit under a lean.

I doubt I'll ever use much wood again in construction, the carpenter bee's have ate everything up around here. Looks like a beautiful barn and the concrete floor is only a dream for me.

i've put together red steel buildings before. for the cost of them vs. what I have into this, I could build 4 of these.

I think that's BS's but if it works for you that's all that matters. Around here a metal scissor truss is cheaper than a wood scissor truss.
