Why you could park a passle of motorsikles or spiders in that thing. Of if it rains on your parade, you could always have the parade in there too!!! Put some tables in there and you could have all your friends in out of the sun while they eat some BBQ.

I want one too. Can you tell us the dimensions, and company-maker please?
I am contemplating building one of those with a one-man apartment in the back, and man-cave out front to retire to....in E TN.

I got the same design. Mine don't look as big. I got the 25 x 32 kit. Love mine. I only have the one roll up door on the front. Looks like the same materials. I got mine thru USbuilding.com. Suppose to be the same people that makes them for the arm forces. I still got to insulate mine. David |

David ... curious as to how you intend to insulate yours? Have you considered spray foam at all?

David ... curious as to how you intend to insulate yours? Have you considered spray foam at all? Have considered and also they have a thin bubble wrap that's white on one side and shiny on the other. I think the spray would be the better one. That's why I haven't done it yet. Any suggestions ? David |

Great work/play area. If I had one with a latrine..........my wife may not see me for weeks at a time. I'm on a more limited budget and was looking into something that can take some of the weather here in the mid-west. These claim to be tornado proof and earthquake resistant. Very little flat surface for wind to get a hold of. Check out the video. And no I'm not a salesman or rep for the company. I just think they are an alternative with a twist. Ugly but very functional. http://www.monolithic.com/stories/can-ecoshells-be-insulatedRide safe |

Yep... got it from USBuilding.com mine is 25'X36'..that's about 3000 bolts  ... and yeah I'm real sure it will be too small..  When I started building it.... we had 1 bike....now we have the Harley, a Spyder, and a Valkyrie ...plus the lift table... .. It's filling up FAST!!!! I have a smaller 16 by 26 barn that I store stuff in.... next to the shop.... and the 'mens' room is right out the back door.  .LOL A buddy built a 30X60 one....sprayed foam insulation and built a house inside... his highest months' electric bill the past 3 years is $80......he said it was around $5000 to insulate it.... but with those kind of elec bills it would pay off pretty quick!!!! The 2 rollup doors will let a good breeze thru.... with just the metal up.... not the ends.... it was cool under the building in 95* temps with the breeze!!!! I also mounted an attic ventilation fan in the top of the gable.... supposed to be good for a 3400 sq ft attic .... it has a thermostate control... and will take air out of the top when it gets hot up there. All the wood in the building ends is 'treated' even the plywood on the front...EVERYTHING is SCREWED....not a nail in it. I have some chisel face, cut limestone I'm going to run up 40 inches in front, then rabbit some 5/4" X 6" treated corral boards to make rough cut shiplap to go up above the stone..... will look real nice from the road! |
