Appreciate any help from you experts


First of all are you in an area where there is a building code? If
you are subject ot the UBdc and are going to store cars, trucks, other
motorized equipment, etc you will have to have a concrete floor before
you can get an occupancy permit.

Second, on a pole building to get a permit many of the building
departments will require engineering on the frame and roof system.
Much simpler to go with wood studs 2'o/c
and roof truses(better yet studs 16"o/c). the building department
understands this type of construction and will leave you alone. use
7/16" osb for side wll and roof sheathing, will give you a good stiff
structure then a building wrap under the siding and 15# felt on the
roof, vinyl siding and shingles. Easiest materials for the DIY'er to
use and understand, also better chance any volunteer help you get will
also be fimilar with.
