I am needing/wanting to build a garage about 24x30. (but am open to
other sizes). I need to do this myself. I don’t have the money right
now for a concrete floor.

I have been toying with ideas trying to do this as cheaply as
possible. (And still look halfway decent). Anyway, what do you guys
think in terms of price the difference between vinyl siding/shingle
roof vs all metal building? Metal where I am is about 3.08/ft. I think
I priced vinyl siding at 70 bucks a square a Lowes. (Although I may be
able to find tan siding cheaper somewhere else).

I had been thinking pole barn was the cheapest. I am struggelign with
roof trusses vs building my own too.

One thing I was wondering, I sort of like the gambrel type roofs and
was reading a shed building manual last night. It had a plan where you
assembled gambrel type ribs on the ground, then assembled them togther
to form a building. It got me wondering, could a person assemble a
gambrel rib for a building such as this made of 4x4 posts on the
ground then somehow lift it into pre dug post holes? It seems the roof
and everything would be right there and it would have increased
headroom because of no trusses. Maybe using a pole or something to get
it up? (I could maybe get acess to a tractor with a bucket on it.) I
kind of like the gambrel roof look but it may be harder to do,
especially the roof.

Appreciate any help from you experts
