We’re looking into getting a barn or other large outbuilding to house our tractor, and lawn mowers, and other outside items.
There’s a very wide price range in outdoor structures big enough to hold a tractor. There’s some low end options, like a canvas canopy/garage. And there are high end 30×60 metal buildings. We were thinking somewhere in the middle.

What we’d like to put out back is something more in the 24×24 or 24×30 range. Preferably on a cement pad with power to the building, an overhead door, and well, a porch would be nice, but not really necessary.
I’d also like to see quality metal roofing. Roofing that will withstand hail, rain and stand up to these Oklahoma winds. Today’s metal roofing far surpasses the old barn roofs of old. They’re lightweight, long-lasting and cost effective alternative to traditional roofing products.
On top of that they are virtually maintenance-free. That’s a BIG seller right there. Now to come up with the money…
A metal roof would also allow us to add a water catchment system. Water we could then use for the garden. It’s a win win.
